Xiaomi is expanding its electric vehicle lineup beyond battery-electric models with the launch of the new SkyNomad series of extended-range electric SUVs (EREVs) in China.
The new lineup starts at 209,900 yuan (about €26,900) and gives Xiaomi Auto a broader range of family-oriented vehicles aimed at buyers who want electric driving without relying entirely on charging infrastructure.
The SkyNomad range initially consists of the five-seat N70 Pro, five-seat N70 Max, seven-seat N90 Max and N90 Max Explorer/Studio edition. Depending on the model, Xiaomi offers all-electric driving ranges of up to 505 km and combined CLTC ranges reaching 1,705 km.
The launch represents an important expansion for Xiaomi Auto, which previously focused on battery-electric vehicles such as the SU7 sedan and YU7 SUV.
Xiaomi SkyNomad Pricing
The new range is positioned across several price points, with both five- and seven-seat configurations available.
| Model | Seating | Price |
| Xiaomi SkyNomad N70 Pro | 5 seats | RMB 209,900 (€26,900) |
| Xiaomi SkyNomad N70 Max | 5 seats | RMB 239,900 (€30,750) |
| Xiaomi SkyNomad N90 Max | 7 seats | RMB 269,900 |
| Xiaomi SkyNomad N90 Max Studio | 5 seats | RMB 299,900 (€38,440) |
Prices are based on Xiaomi’s announced Chinese-market pricing. Euro figures are approximate conversions provided with the launch information.
Xiaomi SkyNomad N70 Brings Extended-Range Power to a Five-Seat SUV
The SkyNomad N70 is a mid-to-large-size five-seat SUV measuring 4,960 mm long, 1,998 mm wide and 1,825 mm tall, with a 2,950 mm wheelbase.
Xiaomi has focused heavily on interior space and flexibility, particularly for rear passengers.
The entry-level N70 Pro uses a single electric motor driving the front wheels. The motor produces up to 210 kW (282 hp), allowing the SUV to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.9 seconds.
Power comes from a 52-kWh lithium iron phosphate battery. The N70 Pro has a 351-km CLTC electric range, while Xiaomi quotes a combined range of 1,351 km when the battery and fuel tank are fully charged.
The more powerful N70 Max switches to a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system producing 310 kW. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h drops to just 5.5 seconds.
It also receives a larger 76-kWh ternary lithium battery, increasing its CLTC electric range to 505 km and its combined range to 1,461 km.
Xiaomi says the N70 Max can add as much as 310 km of range with a 15-minute charging session.
The N70 models are designed with family use in mind. Standard equipment includes a sliding center console and a 9-liter refrigerator, while buyers can add swiveling front seats and a 21.4-inch rear entertainment display.
Seven-Seat Xiaomi SkyNomad N90 Max Targets Families
The larger SkyNomad N90 Max takes the concept further with three rows of seating in a 2+2+3 configuration.
At 5,285 mm long and with a 3,080-mm wheelbase, the N90 Max provides substantially more cabin space than the N70. It uses the same 310-kW dual-motor all-wheel-drive system as the N70 Max and is equipped with a 76-kWh battery.
The seven-seat SUV has a 464-km CLTC electric range and a claimed 1,705-km combined range, giving it the longest total driving range in the SkyNomad lineup.
Air suspension is standard, while acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h takes 5.9 seconds.
The cabin is aimed at long-distance family travel, with massage functions for the first two rows, a sliding center console and swiveling seats designed to increase flexibility when the vehicle is parked.
SkyNomad Explorer Adds a Pop-Up Roof for Camping
Xiaomi is also targeting the growing adventure and camping market with the N90 Max Explorer edition.
Rather than simply adding accessories, the Explorer incorporates a factory-integrated power pop-top roof. When raised, the roof creates an additional upper-level space and increases the maximum interior height to 2,294 mm.
The five-seat cabin can be transformed into a sleeping area by folding the rear seats flat. Underfloor heating is also included.
The Explorer has a 462-km CLTC electric range and a combined range of 1,688 km.
Xiaomi notes that the pop-top roof can only be operated while the vehicle is parked away from public roads.
1.5-Liter Range Extender and Fast Charging
Unlike Xiaomi’s existing battery-electric models, every SkyNomad variant combines a large battery with a 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine serving as a range extender.
The system supports China’s 92-octane gasoline and allows the SUVs to continue traveling when the battery’s electric range has been depleted.
Xiaomi says all SkyNomad models can charge from 20% to 80% in as little as 18 minutes, helping reduce charging stops on longer journeys.
The combination of electric motors, a substantial battery and a gasoline range extender gives the SkyNomad models a different proposition from conventional plug-in hybrid SUVs.
Advanced Driver Assistance and Xiaomi HyperOS
Technology is another major part of the SkyNomad package.
All versions come standard with Xiaomi HAD (Hyper Autonomous Driving) driver assistance, powered by an Nvidia Drive Thor processor capable of 700 TOPS of computing performance.
The N70 Pro and N70 Max each use a single LiDAR sensor, while the N90 Max and Explorer receive two LiDAR sensors positioned toward the front and rear.
The SUVs also feature 4D millimeter-wave radar.
Inside, the SkyNomad lineup runs Xiaomi’s HyperOS operating system and uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. Xiao AI voice control allows occupants to interact with vehicle functions, while Xiaomi’s broader ecosystem connects smartphones, the vehicle and compatible smart-home devices.
Xiaomi Expands Its EV Strategy
The SkyNomad launch comes as Xiaomi Auto continues to scale its automotive operation.
The company has now moved beyond its initial battery-electric strategy, using extended-range technology to address customers who may want an electric vehicle but remain concerned about charging availability and long-distance travel.
Xiaomi founder, chairman and CEO Lei Jun said cumulative vehicle deliveries had surpassed 800,000. Xiaomi Auto delivered 216,322 vehicles during the first seven months of the year, representing a 14.83% increase compared with the same period a year earlier.
The SkyNomad series could give Xiaomi another important growth channel, particularly among larger families and buyers looking for SUVs capable of long-distance travel.
With prices beginning at around €27,000 in China and combined CLTC ranges exceeding 1,700 km on the N90 Max, the new lineup gives Xiaomi a significantly broader presence in China’s increasingly competitive electrified SUV market.
For now, the SkyNomad models are part of Xiaomi’s Chinese-market strategy. Whether the company eventually brings its extended-range SUVs to international markets could become an important question as Xiaomi continues expanding its automotive business.
