1,705 km of range and over 27,000 sales in just 1 month: Xiaomi dominates with its new hybrid SUVs.

This summer, the Chinese giant Xiaomi broke conventions. After surprising the world last year with its electric sedan SU7 and then its battery-powered SUV YU7, it announced it would create a sub-brand for its new long-range hybrid SUVs, named SkyNomad, and that it would sell one with a range of up to 1,705 kilometers.

The success was overwhelming and immediate: just 4 minutes after orders opened, the new hybrid or long-range electric SUVs had already received 10,000 orders. They went on sale on September 7th. But the surprise came just 1 month later, precisely when these Xiaomi hybrid SUVs completed their first full month of sales: they sold over 27,000 units. And what’s worse—or better, depending on the perspective—they accounted for more than 54%—54.1% to be exact—of the sales the Chinese brand achieved in October in its home market.

What are these new hybrid SUVs like? Xiaomi dominates with its latest offering

Xiaomi’s new sub-brand is already selling two extended-range hybrid SUVs, or EREVs, in China. These vehicles feature a thermal engine that serves solely as a power generator for the electric motor(s) that drive the car. Both models are available in 5- or 7-seater configurations.

They are the SkyNomad N90 and N70, respectively. The N90 is the largest model in this new Xiaomi lineup, measuring 5.29 meters in length—more than enough for its 7 seats. However, the most impressive feature lies beneath its chassis. It is equipped with two electric motors producing 310 kW/421 HP, paired with a 76 kWh battery that enables up to 464 kilometers of pure electric range according to China’s CLTC cycle. When combined with the range provided by its 112 kW/152 HP gasoline engine and fuel tank, the total driving range reaches 1,705 kilometers.

Beneath this N90 SUV is the Xiaomi SkyNomad N70, another 4,960-meter-long SUV with an almost identical design and two powertrains. The first features a single front electric motor producing 286 HP, the aforementioned 1.5-liter gasoline engine common to all Xiaomi models in this series, and a 52 kWh LFP battery that provides up to 1,351 km of combined range.

The Max version, on the other hand, comes with two electric motors, all-wheel drive, and a combined power output of 421 HP. Equipped with a 76 kWh battery, it offers up to 505 km of electric range—making it the hybrid SUV with the longest electric range in the world—and a total combined range of 1,461 km.

Over 27,000 units sold in just 1 month: more hybrids than electric cars sold

As we’ve mentioned, Xiaomi surprised the world last year with its sedan SU7, whose new generation is now on sale. However, looking at the latest sales figures from this Chinese giant for October reveals an unusual trend.

Just one full month after their launch, Xiaomi’s new hybrid SUVs, the SkyNomad, have already become the best-selling models of the Chinese brand. In fact, out of 50,123 cars sold by Xiaomi last October, these two hybrid SUVs combined to account for over 27,000 units sold: 27,132 in total, with 14,545 units of the N70 and 12,587 units of the SkyNomad N90.

This figure means that these hybrid SUVs accounted for 54.1% of Xiaomi’s sales in China last month, while the electric sedan SU7 saw 12,984 units registered and the SUV YU7 saw 10,037 units sold.

Now, will these Xiaomi hybrid SUVs make it to Europe? Well, the Chinese giant has already announced its arrival in Europe, including Spain, by 2027, but it hasn’t provided any specific details about its new SkyNomad sub-brand. If its new SUVs continue to be such a sales success in China, the high demand could delay their potential arrival in the Old Continent.
