Gran Turismo 7 Adds Xiaomi VGT In October Spec IV Update
Xiaomi's car arrives as the 36th brand in the Vision Gran Turismo project, and the same update pairs it with an EV-only driving lesson, so Polyphony is treating electric driving as something the game has to teach rather than just sell.

Kazunori Yamauchi and Xiaomi Auto's Jean-Arthur Madelaine took the stage at the Gran Turismo World Series 2026 round in Singapore on October 3 and confirmed the Xiaomi Vision Gran Turismo will join Gran Turismo 7 within October 2026, as part of the Spec IV update. The update also adds an EV-only driving lesson using the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra.
Xiaomi entered the Vision Gran Turismo project in February 2026 with a concept model, and the car now has a release window. It will be added to Gran Turismo 7 as part of Spec IV, a large-scale update scheduled for October. The car's stated design concept is "shaped by the wind," derived from the aerodynamic approach used on the Xiaomi SU7 and Xiaomi YU7, and Xiaomi frames the driving philosophy as "Sofa Racer." The Spec IV update also adds an EV-only driving lesson, which uses the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra alongside the new VGT.
