I just picked up my Xiaomi YU7. Is it still necessary to apply heat-insulating film to the windows?
To achieve effective sun protection and heat insulation, the key lies in the performance of the panoramic roof and the front windshield, as these two glass panels receive direct sunlight and have the largest surface area:
The front windshields of all Xiaomi YU7 models use laminated glass with a three-layer silver-plating process, achieving a UV isolation rate of 99.5% and an infrared isolation rate of 97.6%.
The panoramic roofs of the Xiaomi YU7 Standard and Pro versions are also made of laminated glass with a double-layer silver-plating process, achieving a UV isolation rate of 99.9% and an infrared isolation rate of 99.1%. The Xiaomi YU7 Max is equipped with the latest generation EC dimming panoramic roof, which not only achieves a maximum shading rate of 99.85% but also reaches a UV and infrared isolation rate of 99.9%, further enhancing heat insulation capabilities.
Additionally, all four door windows of the Xiaomi YU7 come standard with laminated glass, with a UV isolation rate of 99.9%; the front side windows have an infrared isolation rate of 77.23%, while the rear windows, using privacy glass, have an increased infrared isolation rate of 80.09%.
The Xiaomi YU7 has also undergone high-temperature exposure tests. After being exposed to 38°C for 1.5 hours, the interior temperature was even lower than that of some models equipped with physical sunshades. Therefore, the sun protection and heat insulation performance of the Xiaomi YU7's glass is already quite outstanding, meeting the needs of most users, so you can consider not applying additional film.
In addition, to enhance comfort, the Xiaomi YU7 is equipped with the "Interior High-Temperature Protection" feature. If the vehicle is exposed to the sun outdoors, you can enable this feature by clicking "Settings > Services > Interior High-Temperature Protection." The vehicle will monitor the interior temperature and automatically turn on the air conditioning to reduce the cabin temperature. For specific operations and precautions, please refer to the user manual. You can also remotely turn on the air conditioning or schedule it via the Xiaomi Auto APP to ensure a comfortable cabin temperature when you get in.
