Xiaomi EV has officially unveiled the Xiaomi SkyNomad Series, the first SUV lineup built on the all‑new Xiaomi Kunlun Technical Architecture. This marks a bold step in Xiaomi’s automotive journey, combining expansive interior space, advanced safety, intelligent systems, and ultra‑long driving range. Positioned as a reconfigurable, large‑space SUV, the SkyNomad Series is designed to meet the diverse needs of modern families, offering flexibility, comfort, and innovation in every detail.
Two variants headline the launch: the Xiaomi SkyNomad N90 Max, a flagship 7‑seater extended‑range SUV priced at RMB 299,900, and the Xiaomi SkyNomad N70 Max, a 5‑seat AWD extended‑range SUV priced at RMB 259,900. Both models embody Xiaomi’s philosophy of “form follows function,” reversing the traditional SUV design process by prioritizing interior space before styling and powertrain.
Bold Design, Built for Space
The SkyNomad’s squared‑off proportions reflect its interior volume, delivering MPV‑level spaciousness within an SUV silhouette. The N90 Max measures 5,285 mm in length with a 3,080 mm wheelbase, while the N70 Max comes in at 4,960 mm with a 2,950 mm wheelbase. A flat roofline maximizes headroom, a continuous waistline elongates the profile, and a rising sill line enhances its commanding stance. Aerodynamic refinements — over 140 in total — achieve a drag coefficient of just 0.255 on the N90 Max.
Smart electric doors open by touch or voice, supported by a 360° AI‑powered anti‑collision system. Rear doors swing nearly 90° for easy access, while optional aluminum‑alloy electric side steps assist children and older passengers. Inside, Xiaomi draws inspiration from residential design, creating a warm, elevated cabin atmosphere. The N90 Series features 95% soft‑wrapped surfaces across 32 m², certified to infant‑safe OEKO‑TEX® standards. Premium seating includes a 12‑layer comfort structure, with massage, ventilation, and heating functions standard in the front row.
Personalization and Aesthetic Choices
Xiaomi continues its tradition of distinctive color palettes, introducing Mountain Green and Valley Blue alongside the classic Volcanic Gray. Interiors are offered in Cream Beige or Mocha Brown, both inspired by natural tones. Wheel options include 21″ Prism‑shaped rims, luxury‑oriented Beam rims, or sport‑oriented Starburst rims in Stealth Black. Bridgestone quiet‑tuned tires come standard across the lineup.
Space Redefined: The Kunlun Platform
At the heart of the SkyNomad is the Xiaomi Kunlun Platform, engineered to maximize cabin space. By compressing the front cabin length, optimizing third‑row wheel arches, and integrating rear suspension design, Xiaomi achieves a completely flat floor from front to cargo. This uninterrupted layout — spanning over 4.4 m² — sets a new benchmark for SUV flexibility.
The N90 Max offers 2,760 mm of occupant space, with second‑row legroom stretching to 1.55 m. Cargo capacity reaches 1,831 L, accommodating up to 24 suitcases in Ultimate Storage Mode. Extra‑long seat rails, aerospace‑grade aluminum construction, and power‑adjustable zero‑gravity seating enable multiple configurations: from Business Lounge Mode with face‑to‑face seating, to First‑Class Mode with extended legroom, to Super‑Size Bed Mode for camping. Families can adapt the cabin for play, work, rest, or storage with ease.
Safety Above All
Safety is central to the SkyNomad’s engineering. The Armor Cage steel‑aluminum hybrid body uses 2,200 MPa ultra‑high‑strength steel in critical areas, supporting roof‑crush loads of nearly 14 tons. A 13‑in‑1 hot‑formed door ring enhances side‑impact protection, while integrated floor frames improve survival space in frontal and side collisions.
Twelve airbags — the most in its class — provide all‑row coverage, including dual‑chamber far‑side airbags and third‑row side airbags. Nine collision sensors ensure precise detection, while child and female dummies were included in testing for comprehensive occupant safety. The Xiaomi Armor Scale Battery adds 18 layers of structural protection and 16 layers of thermal safeguards, preventing leaks, fires, or explosions even under extreme conditions. Emergency features include dual tailgate pull handles, wading capability up to 750 mm, and floating protection for accidental submersion.
Intelligence and Ecosystem Integration
Powered by the Snapdragon® 8 Gen 3 Mobile Platform, the SkyNomad’s cabin electronics deliver smooth performance, dual 5G + Wi‑Fi 7 connectivity, and six‑screen integration. A customizable head‑up display, 25‑speaker audio system, and rear control screen enhance the in‑car experience. Xiaomi’s onboard AI assistant, Hyper XiaoAi, enables voice‑controlled cabin layouts, adjusting seats, lighting, and climate instantly.
Advanced assisted‑driving hardware includes LiDAR, 4D mmWave radar, and anti‑glare cameras. The N90 Series adds rear LiDAR for precise obstacle detection. Xiaomi’s HAD system, built on the XLA architecture, supports voice‑controlled driving and intelligent navigation in complex environments.
Driving Dynamics and Range
The Kunlun HyperRange system delivers best‑in‑class efficiency and range. With battery capacities up to 76 kWh, the N70 Max achieves 505 km EV‑only range, while the N90 Max reaches 464 km. Combined with a large fuel tank, the N90 Max offers an impressive 1,705 km total range. Consumption drops to 15.85 kWh/100 km, while depleted‑battery fuel use is as low as 6.26 L/100 km. Maintenance intervals extend to three years or 30,000 km, reducing service costs by 23%.
Chassis DNA from Xiaomi SU7 and YU7 ensures agile handling, with double‑wishbone front suspension, H‑arm multi‑link rear suspension, and adjustable air springs. Dual‑motor AWD delivers 310 kW peak power, while braking from 100–0 km/h takes just 38.57 meters. Despite its size, the N90 Max boasts a tight 5.95 m turning radius.
Availability
The Xiaomi SkyNomad Series is tailored for families, adventurers, and professionals seeking one vehicle that adapts to every scenario. Pre‑orders opened July 30 at 21:00, with a ¥1,000 deposit securing priority production and a complimentary in‑car dual‑cupholder table upon delivery.
