After the release of Xiaomi YU7, it was highly popular and various news kept circulating. For example, Xiaomi YU7 appeared in the rental market: the daily rental price is 2000 yuan, the same price as Lamborghini; The Xiaomi YU7 Standard Edition now requires a one-year wait for ordering before delivery. During the testing of Xiaomi YU7 on the racetrack, the brake pads caught fire, attracting attention from the media.
Xiaomi Auto responded that after performing one warm-up lap and one flight lap at the Tianjin V1 race track, the Xiaomi YU7 Max parked directly without a heat dissipation ring. The high temperature caused the organic material of the brake pads to catch fire, but the overall braking system did not experience any brake failure or other issues. The function is sound and the use is normal. In addition, the test vehicle did not use the "Energy Recovery Enhancement" function in the Xiaomi YU7 Max Master mode. This function will enhance the energy recovery intensity under track conditions, reduce the load on the mechanical braking system, and even in the event of ABS lock up, it can still provide a maximum of 0.2G of braking energy recovery, effectively reducing the occurrence of extreme situations where the braking system temperature exceeds 600 ℃.
When driving on the racetrack, vehicles often need to frequently apply emergency brakes during high-speed driving, and the load on the braking system will be much higher than that of daily driving. In this working condition, the temperature of the brake disc will rise sharply, and if effective heat dissipation is not taken, it will cause the material to catch fire. At the same time, as a mid to large SUV, the Xiaomi YU7 has a higher weight compared to smaller SUVs, and the high power brings faster track tail speed. The braking system also generates more heat during intense braking. Xiaomi Auto strongly urges everyone to pay attention to driving safety. Original factory cars that have not undergone professional upgrades and maintenance should not be rashly tested on the racetrack.
