Xiaomi has shared details of their YU7 electric SUV’s interior.
This large, high-performance car has a panoramic display above the center console, called HyperVision. It isn’t a screen, but a ‘PHUD’ a panoramic HUD. It projects the image on the bottom part of the windshield. This display is highly configurable. It can show information about power and speed, a navigation system, and ADAS readouts for the driver.
The main benefit of the PHUD is its position. The image from the head-up display sits far from the driver, minimizing the need to shift gaze and focus between the real world outside and a conventional HUD. And it means Xiaomi could delete the conventional instrument panel.
The YU7 has a three-spoke steering wheel with a flat bottom and top, similar to the company’s SU7 sedan. The gear selector is on the steering column, and the center console has a clean design with smooth surfaces and two wireless phone charging pads.
It confirms the trend, seen at CES 2025 in BMWs, for example, to move displays forward, to the base of the windshield, to improve safety and readability.
