The SkyNomad N90 is Xiaomi's new flagship large family SUV and the first Xiaomi vehicle to use an extended-range electric powertrain (EREV). Unlike the SU7 and YU7, which are positioned more around driving dynamics, the SkyNomad series was developed around a completely different idea: maximum interior space, flexibility and the ability to transform the cabin for different situations.

Xiaomi says the SkyNomad project was developed over approximately three and a half years. The new Kunlun technology architecture was developed from the ground up starting in early 2023, specifically to allow a flat floor, long seat rails and highly configurable interior layouts.

The result is a full-size 7-seat SUV measuring 5,285 mm in length, 1,998 mm in width and 1,825 mm in height, with a 3,080 mm wheelbase.

POWERTRAIN & RANGE

The N90 Max is an extended-range electric SUV.

It combines:
• 1.5-liter turbocharged petrol range extender
• 76 kWh ternary-lithium battery
• Dual electric motors
• All-wheel drive
• 310 kW peak system power
• 5.9 seconds 0–100 km/h
• 190 km/h top speed
• 60-liter fuel tank

The claimed range is up to 464 km on the CLTC cycle in EV mode and up to 1,705 km CLTC combined.

Xiaomi also claims a depleted-battery fuel consumption of just 6.26 L/100 km.

CHASSIS & DRIVING

The N90 Max is not simply designed as a large family transport vehicle. Xiaomi has equipped it with a fairly sophisticated chassis:

• Double-wishbone front suspension
• Multi-link rear suspension
• Air suspension
• Continuously variable damping
• Four hydraulic bushings
• R-EPS rack-type electric power steering
• Bosch ESP 10.0
• Bosch DPB intelligent brake booster
• 255 mm front / 265 mm rear tires

Xiaomi claims a 5.95 m turning radius and a 100–0 km/h braking distance of 38.57 m.

SAFETY

One of the major engineering stories behind the N90 is Xiaomi's new Kunlun safety architecture.

The body uses a steel-and-aluminum structure with approximately 90.4% high-strength steel and aluminum by weight.

Key structural areas use ultra-high-strength 2,200 MPa steel, including a long reinforced structure running through the passenger compartment.

The N90 also features:
• 12 airbags
• 9 collision sensors
• Long 3,030 mm side curtain airbags
• Three-row side-impact protection
• 39 anti-pinch protection points
• Multiple emergency door-opening redundancies
• Up to 750 mm claimed wading capability
• High-voltage battery protection systems
• Solid-state rear LiDAR

Xiaomi says the vehicle was developed to C-NCAP five-star and C-IASI G+ standards.

INTERIOR & PRACTICALITY

Xiaomi claims:
• 2+2+3 seven-seat layout
• 2,760 mm of cabin seating space
• Up to 1,831 liters of cargo space
• 690 mm low cargo floor height
• 1,193 mm wide tailgate opening
• 9-liter refrigerator
• 16-point massage for the first and second rows
• Zero-gravity seating
• Ventilation and heating
• 25-speaker Xiaomi audio system
• 4,890 W peak audio power
• 7.1.4-channel audio architecture
• Multiple rear displays and control screens
• Up to 220V power output
• 6.6 kW external discharge
• 12 ecosystem interfaces and 14 power interfaces

The N90 can also be configured for camping, working, relaxing, entertaining passengers or carrying large amounts of luggage — which is essentially the whole philosophy behind the SkyNomad series.

PRICING IN CHINA

At its September 2026 launch, the Xiaomi SkyNomad range was officially priced as follows:

The wider SkyNomad family also includes the smaller N70, with the range starting at RMB 209,900.

MARKET POSITIONING

The N90 enters one of the most competitive segments in the Chinese car market.

Instead of focusing only on luxury, performance or range, the SkyNomad N90 combines a large 7-seat body, EREV powertrain, premium chassis hardware, advanced driver assistance, Xiaomi's smart ecosystem and — most importantly — a highly configurable interior.
