Design: Flagship Dimensions and Dedicated Extended-Range Architecture
The Xiaomi Skynomad N90 Max is a full-size extended-range SUV, with exterior dimensions of 5,285 × 1,998 × 1,825 mm and a wheelbase of 3,080 mm — delivering class-leading passenger comfort and cargo space. Its powertrain adopts a dedicated '1.5T turbocharged engine (supplied by Dongan, a subsidiary of Changan) + dual-motor AWD' architecture: the engine serves solely as a generator — never driving the wheels — and charges the 76 kWh CALB ternary lithium battery pack. The system delivers a combined output of 310 kW (416 hp) and supports 20–80% fast charging in just 18 minutes.

Powertrain: 1,230 km Real-World Range, 75.3% CLTC Achievement Rate
According to Xu Jieyun, Deputy General Manager of Xiaomi's Strategic Marketing Department, the N90 Max recently completed a real-world long-distance test from Shanghai's 5G Future Center to Beijing Xiaomi Automobile Manufacturing Base — covering 1,230 km. The test carried four occupants plus 50 kg of additional payload, with cabin temperature set to 24°C. Eco mode was used throughout, prioritizing pure-electric driving; tire pressure was maintained at 2.9 bar, and regenerative braking efficiency was set to 80%. Average highway speed was Suda 104 km/h, and the 'Hyper Autonomous Driving' ADAS system was engaged to reduce driver workload.
Results: Pure-electric range achieved 323.6 km — 69.7% of its CLTC-rated value; average electricity consumption in EV mode was 19.7 kWh/100 km; after range extender activation, equivalent fuel consumption was 6.7 L/100 km. Upon arrival, the vehicle still displayed 54 km of remaining range — yielding a total real-world range of ~1,284 km, or 75.3% of its CLTC-rated combined range.
Intelligence: Hyper Autonomous Driving System Tested in Real Conditions
This long-haul test explicitly activated Xiaomi's in-house 'Hyper Autonomous Driving' ADAS system. While specific functional levels or NOP+-style capability boundaries were not disclosed, the company emphasized that the system handled the majority of driving tasks on highways — significantly reducing driver fatigue. Notably, Xiaomi previously announced China's first self-developed 3nm intelligent driving chip — but whether it has been integrated into the production-spec N90 Max remains unconfirmed.
Pricing & Launch Timeline: Pre-orders Open, Official Launch in September
The Xiaomi Skynomad N90 Max entered pre-sale in China on July 30, 2026, with a starting price of ¥299,900. The official market launch is confirmed for September 2026. For context, Xiaomi Automobile delivered 31,267 units in July 2026 — a 2.7% year-on-year increase — indicating accelerating production ramp-up and channel expansion.
Conclusion: Solid Extended-Range Logic, Highly Relevant Real-World Data
This Shanghai–Beijing test was conducted under real-world conditions — not in a controlled lab — featuring live traffic flow, climate control, and multi-passenger load. The verified 1,284 km total range, 69.7% CLTC pure-electric achievement rate, and stable, predictable range-extender engagement all affirm the N90 Max's engineering pragmatism as a large extended-range SUV. However, key questions remain — including powertrain supplier dependencies (Dongan engine, CALB battery), actual deployment status of the in-house ADAS chip, and post-launch delivery pace beginning in September.
