Stormwater Technology reported on June 28 that some media tested the Xiaomi Yu7 on the track and saw a fire on the brake pad, which attracted widespread attention.
Xiaomi Auto’s official Weibo account quickly explained the issue. The statement notes that the Xiaomi Yu7 Max in the video stopped directly under extreme conditions without a radiator cooling cycle, causing the brake pads to burn due to the high temperatures behind the short beads and flight rings of the Tianjin V1 Racing Stadium. Xiaomi officially emphasized that the brake system itself has no fault problems and that all functions are operating normally.
It is particularly noteworthy that the test tools at that time did not use the “Energy Recovery Enhancement” function in Xiaomi YU7 Max Master mode. Xiaomi stressed that this feature is designed to enhance the energy recovery intensity under orbital conditions, thereby reducing the burden on the mechanical braking system. Even with ABS locking, this feature can still provide braking energy recovery of up to 0.2G, effectively reducing extreme conditions at braking system temperatures above 600°C.
Xiaomi official note: In railway driving environments, vehicles usually need to brake at ultra-high speeds, which makes the brake system much more burdened than daily driving. Under such extreme operating conditions, the temperature of the brake disc will rise rapidly, and if effective heat dissipation measures are not taken, it may lead to material emission. This is similar to any high-performance tool on the track, which is not a problem unique to Xiaomi.
In addition, as a mid-size and large SUV, the Xiaomi Yu7 weighs more and has a relatively small high-power performance SUV that brings a higher track tail. These factors all mean that during the forced braking process, the brake system generates more heat. Therefore, effective cooling is a crucial and basic common sense in track driving. Good braking performance is closely related to cooling capacity and cannot be ignored by any vehicle when challenging track restrictions.
The Xiaomi Yu7 Max uses low metal brake pads, which include metal fibers, abrasives, resins and other organics. Under high temperature environments (usually above 300°C), resins and other organic matter will undergo a rupture reaction of polymer branches, resulting in moisture, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, carbon dioxide, carbon dioxide, carbon dioxide, carbon dioxide, carbon dioxide, carbon dioxide, carbon dioxide, carbon dioxide, carbon dioxide, alkyl carbon, aromatic carbon, aromatic gas, aromatic aroma, aromatic aroma, etc.). Xiaomi officially pointed out that this is a normal physical phenomenon and will not lead to failure of braking performance.
Xiaomi Yu7 is positioned as an urban luxury high-performance SUV. Xiaomi officials also strongly recommend that you should not try the track easily without professional upgrades and preparations. We must learn driving skills step by step to fully understand the boundaries of product performance and master the boundaries of professional driving knowledge. For ordinary consumers, safe driving is always the top priority.
If you really want to drive professionally, you need to upgrade the vehicle’s tires, brake systems, and dissipate and dissipate key components, and use the main mode and turn on the enhancement of energy recovery to avoid safety risks under extreme operating conditions. This reflects Xiaomi’s strict attitude towards safety.
