The active grille on the Xiaomi YU7 has 100 levels of automatic adjustment. How does it work?

Official answer

The Xiaomi YU7 innovatively equips a 100-level active grille that can automatically adjust its opening degree according to different working conditions. The fine division into 100 levels allows for more precise and delicate control adjustments, reducing vehicle driving resistance and improving mileage while ensuring heat dissipation needs. In the fully closed state, it can reduce the vehicle's drag coefficient by 18 Counts, increasing mileage by up to 14 km.

The control strategy for the active grille is actually very complex, but simply put, at different speeds, the active grille automatically adjusts its opening degree based on airflow requirements. For example, at high speeds, the grille opening is minimized to reduce wind resistance and serve overall energy consumption; at low speeds, the grille opening increases to reduce intake air resistance, facilitating overall heat dissipation. Additionally, the Xiaomi YU7 can intelligently recognize different scenarios. When triggering scenarios such as aggressive driving, de-icing, anti-icing, or charging, it can judge in real-time and respond quickly, keeping the grille in the optimal position state.
