Late on the night of January 5, a spokesperson for Xiaomi issued a formal clarification via the company’s official Weibo account regarding false claims made that evening about the Xiaomi YU7. The spokesperson stated: “In response to the false claims made this evening regarding the Xiaomi YU7, we issue the following formal clarification.” On the afternoon of December 28, a car owner in Jiangxi encountered a temporary malfunction where the power-operated tailgate could not be opened while picking up the vehicle. Store staff diagnosed the issue, verified that the trunk could be opened using the external button, resolved the problem for the user, and received the user’s acknowledgment. The entire process was completely unrelated to the mechanical latches on the doors. The claim in related reports that “the mechanical latches on all four doors failed, preventing the other doors from opening” is completely false.
