Overview
- Xiaomi announced the SkyNomad series and published teasers for the first model, the large N90 EREV SUV, which the company confirmed in posts shared by CEO Lei Jun on July 9.
- China’s MIIT approved Xiaomi to build extended‑range vehicles at its Beijing plant on June 10, clearing a regulatory hurdle needed for production of range‑extender models.
- Reports and regulatory filings describe the N90 as an EREV with a 1.5‑litre engine used only as a generator, a battery larger than 70 kWh, an estimated 400–500 km electric range and more than 1,500 km combined range, though final specs are not yet confirmed by Xiaomi.
- Xiaomi is promoting a reconfigurable ‘living interior’ built on its new Kunlun architecture with a flat floor, long‑rail seating and rotating front seats, and it has opened reservations while declining to give a firm launch date.
- Industry outlets report battery supply will be split between Sunwoda and CALB and that tentative pricing could start near 200,000 yuan; the N90 is pitched to take market share from incumbents such as Li Auto while helping Xiaomi meet aggressive delivery targets and prepare for overseas expansion.
