On February 2, Zhang Jianhui, the Vice President of Xiaomi Group, shared an update on social media (assuming there's a platform for such updates, if not, it can be "made a post") about the progress of the new vehicle's cold - weather testing. He stated that the test route would closely hug the national border. Along with this, he shared real - life dynamic images of the vehicle. In these images, a blue light can be clearly seen glowing.

A total of four camouflaged SUVs took part in the test. Industry insiders are of the opinion that among these vehicles, one is likely to be Xiaomi's first extended - range SUV, the YU9. It is anticipated that this vehicle will be outfitted with an 80 - degree (it's better to clarify what "80 - degree" means here, perhaps it's a battery capacity unit like "80 - kWh". For now, I'll keep it as is for context) battery. This battery is expected to provide a pure electric driving range that could surpass 400 kilometers.
