Xiaomi Unveils SkyNomad EREV Line With N90 Large SUV

The move positions Xiaomi to challenge established extended‑range family SUVs by widening its lineup and supporting its plan to raise vehicle deliveries in 2026.

Overview

  • Xiaomi has publicly confirmed the SkyNomad name on its Weibo account after receiving MIIT approval to make extended‑range electric vehicles, signaling a formal push into EREVs.
  • The first model, dubbed the N90 and codenamed Kunlun N3, is reported as a full‑size, five- or seven‑seat SUV that uses a 1.5‑litre turbo engine only as a generator paired with a battery above 70 kWh.
  • Reported performance estimates put the N90 at about 400–500 km of electric‑only range and more than 1,500 km combined range, reflecting the 'big battery plus range‑extender' formula used in China’s family SUVs.
  • Chinese outlets say battery supply will be split between Sunwoda and CALB and that early price signals start near 200,000 yuan, a level aimed to undercut rivals such as Li Auto and Aito.
  • Spyshots and reports show a rugged, boxy design with a 5.3‑metre length, 3.1‑metre wheelbase, roof‑mounted LiDAR, electrically deployed steps and an optional rooftop tent for camping, and a commercial launch is expected in the second half of 2026.
