The all-new independent sub-brand Skynomad under Xiaomi has officially emerged. According to the latest vehicle catalog filings with China's MIIT, Skynomad's debut dual-model lineup — the N70 and N90 extended-range electric SUVs — has completed regulatory approval and is expected to enter the domestic market within 2026. Notably, Skynomad will adopt a differentiated positioning from Xiaomi — focused on performance and intelligent driving — by prioritizing family comfort and long-distance travel, while Xiaomi continues its pure-electric, sport-oriented strategy.
Skynomad N70: Large Five-Seat Crossover SUV, Dimensions Exceed Mercedes-Benz GLE
The Skynomad N70 is positioned as a mid-to-large-size five-seat crossover SUV, measuring 4960 × 1998 × 1785 mm, with a wheelbase of 2950 mm — 36 mm longer than the Mercedes-Benz GLE. Its approach and departure angles are 18° and 22°, respectively. It offers dual wheel options — 19-inch and 21-inch — and has a curb weight ranging from 2453–2610 kg.
Its powertrain features a 1.5L M15DRE range extender produced by Harbin Dong'an, a subsidiary of Changan, delivering a maximum output of 112 kW (150 hp) solely for onboard electricity generation. The rear-wheel-drive variant uses a single motor producing up to 210 kW (282 hp), paired with a 52 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery from Sunwoda, enabling a CLTC all-electric range of 270 km; its fuel consumption in charge-sustaining mode is 5.8 L/100km, with a top speed of 190 km/h.
The high-spec N70 Max AWD version adds a 100 kW (134 hp) front axle motor, bringing total system output to 310 kW (416 hp). Its battery is upgraded to a 76 kWh CALB ternary lithium battery, increasing CLTC all-electric range to 380 km, while charge-sustaining fuel consumption rises slightly to 6.2 L/100km.
Skynomad N90: Flagship Full-Size Seven-Seat SUV with 180° Rotating Front Seats
The Skynomad N90 serves as the brand's flagship full-size SUV, measuring 5285 × 1998 × 1825 mm, with a wheelbase of 3080 mm — 76 mm longer than the Mercedes-Benz GLS. It adopts staggered 21-inch wheels (255/45 R21 front, 265/45 R21 rear), with front/rear overhangs of 965 mm and 1240 mm, respectively. Approach/departure angles are 18°/19°, curb weight stands at 2800 kg, and gross vehicle weight rating is 3361 kg.
The interior offers both five- and seven-seat configurations. Notably, its front seats support 180° rotation, enhancing in-cabin social interaction and relaxation. Only the N90 Max variant has been filed so far, equipped with the same 1.5L range extender and dual-motor system as the N70 Max — delivering a combined output of 310 kW (416 hp) and a top speed of 190 km/h. It comes standard with the 76 kWh CALB ternary lithium battery, achieving a CLTC all-electric range of 370 km and a charge-sustaining fuel consumption of 6.26 L/100km.
Exterior design features include full-width lighting, semi-concealed door handles, roof-mounted LiDAR, ring-shaped taillights, and powered side steps.
Market Outlook and Strategic Significance
According to China EV DataTracker, Xiaomi sold 185,055 units in the first half of 2026 — a 17.2% year-on-year increase. The launch of the Skynomad series marks a pivotal step for Xiaomi to expand its appeal among family buyers and further diversify its product portfolio. However, official pricing, exact launch date, and delivery timelines remain unannounced. All technical specifications cited here are based solely on MIIT catalog filings; final configurations and real-world performance await official confirmation.
