Chinese tech company Xiaomi's new electric crossover SUV, the YU7, will have a driving range of up to 770 kilometers (478 miles), a government document showed on Thursday.
The car will be Xiaomi's first SUV and is expected to hit the market this summer, to take on Tesla's Model Y.
The vehicle, which would combine features of a traditional crossover SUV with a battery-powered drivetrain, also comes in a shorter driving range of 675 km and 760 km, Reuters reported.
It was among newly added models to enjoy purchase tax breaks, according to an industry ministry notice.
Tesla began deliveries of refreshed Model Y at the end of February. The long-range variant of the redesigned Model Y has a driving range of 719 kilometers per charge, up from 688 km, while the rear-drive variant now has a range of 593 km, from 554 km.

Apple was ordered by EU antitrust regulators on Wednesday to open up its closed ecosystem to rivals, with the latter spelling out details on how to go about it in line with the bloc's landmark rules and where non-compliance could lead to an investigation and fines.

The move by the European Commission came six months after it opened so-called specification proceedings to ensure that the iPhone maker complies with the Digital Markets Act (DMA) which seeks to rein in the power of Big Tech.

The first EU order requires Apple to give rival makers of smartphones, headphones and virtual reality headsets access to its technology and mobile operating system so they can connect with iPhones and iPads seamlessly, Reuters reported.

The second EU order sets out a detailed process and timeline for Apple to respond to interoperability requests from app developers.

Apple slammed the EU order, saying it would hurt users and help its rivals.

"Today's decisions wrap us in red tape, slowing down Apple's ability to innovate for users in Europe and forcing us to give away our new features for free to companies who don't have to play by the same rules," the company said in an email.

"It's bad for our products and for our European users. We will continue to work with the European Commission to help them understand our concerns on behalf of our users," added Apple.

"With these decision, we are simply implementing the law, and providing regulatory certainty both to Apple and to developers," EU antitrust chief Teresa Ribera said in a statement.

Apple could face an investigation if regulators subsequently find that it has not followed through on the order that could lead to a fine as much as 10% of its global annual sales.
