Besides looking handsome, what is the function of the clamshell aluminum hood equipped on the Xiaomi YU7?
The Xiaomi YU7 is equipped with the largest clamshell aluminum hood among currently mass-produced vehicles, with an area of up to 3.11 square meters, balancing aesthetics and practicality. The Xiaomi Motors engineering team underwent hundreds of optimizations over 7 months, continuously challenging process limits and reducing seams, ultimately achieving a super-large clamshell aluminum hood that blends seamlessly with the overall body lines. Its integrated aerodynamic shape design effectively reduces the drag coefficient by 2 Counts, helping the Xiaomi YU7 achieve a vehicle drag coefficient as low as 0.245. Meanwhile, the aluminum hood is nearly half the weight of traditional steel hoods, contributing to the vehicle's lightweighting.
Notably, beneath the super-large clamshell aluminum hood of the Xiaomi YU7 lies a 141L super-large electric front trunk, supporting up to 8 opening and closing methods, making it both good-looking and practical.
