Xiaomi reveals Sky Nomad N90 — first EREV SUV, 5.3m long, 1,500km range
TL;DR
Xiaomi confirmed Sky Nomad as its second automotive series with N90 EREV SUV — 5.3m long, 1,500km total range, launching H2 2026.
Xiaomi Auto confirmed its second product series Sky Nomad (Chinese: Pengcheng) on July 8 and dropped the side-view of its first model, the N90, the same day. On Weibo, CEO Lei Jun framed the line as an "intelligent, transformable large-space SUV" — explicitly parting ways with the driver's-car pitch of SU7 and YU7.
The N90 measures 5.3 m long with a 3.1 m wheelbase, aimed squarely at the Li Auto L9, AITO M9 and NIO ES8 tier. It is Xiaomi's first extended-range EV: a front-mounted 1.5-litre turbo range extender feeding a dual-motor AWD setup, 70+ kWh battery from Sunwoda and CALB, 400–500 km on electricity and 1,500 km+ combined.
Exterior swaps YU7's waterdrop headlights for a blocky cluster; a lidar sits on the roof, taillights loop around the tailgate, and the marketing angle is "outdoor" — a fold-out roof tent is baked in. Cabin comes in 2+3 five-seat and 2+3+2 seven-seat layouts, front seats rotate 180°, the center console walks through and slides.
Three years into building cars, Xiaomi is already forking a second brand. The main Xiaomi Auto label — running since March 2024 with SU7 delivery — keeps performance sedans and coupe SUVs; Sky Nomad eats the family-EREV lane alone. CnEVPost expects the production N90 in Q3, with sales in H2 2026.
Win the bet, and Xiaomi opens a second 200k-units-a-year family-EREV cashflow next to sedans and sport SUVs. Lose it, and the SU7-defined brand tone gets dragged sideways by an MPV-shaped box.
