Xiaomi has just taken one of the most significant steps since entering the automotive industry. After launching with the SU7 and expanding its lineup later with the YU7, the Chinese manufacturer officially introduced the SkyNomad series, a new range of SUVs that moves away from its exclusive focus on battery-powered electric cars.

The model dubbed “the SUV with the longest electric range in the world” is now available for purchase. Yet this launch stands out for several reasons. Its prices remain highly competitive for the Eastern market, and its range far exceeds that of even typical plug-in hybrids. Xiaomi is thus introducing its first extended-range electric vehicles (EREV), initially available in 5- or 7-seater versions with 4 different configurations.

Up to 1,705 km of range for around 35,400 euros

The most impressive figure belongs to the SkyNomad N90 Max, the largest model in the new series. This 5,290 mm long SUV features 7 seats arranged in a 2+2+3 configuration and a 76 kWh battery that allows it to travel up to 464 km on electricity alone, according to China’s CLTC testing cycle.

However, its main advantage lies in combining the energy stored in the battery with a gasoline engine that acts as an range extender. Xiaomi claims a combined range of up to 1,705 km, one of the highest figures reported for a production SUV. All this comes at an starting price of 269,900 yuan, approximately 35,400 euros at the current exchange rate.

The family also includes a variant called the N90 Max Explorer, which replaces 7 seats with 5 and adds an electrically liftable roof as standard for camping activities. The rear seats can be folded to create a sleeping area, and it even features underfloor heating. This version offers 462 km of electric range and 1,688 km in combined mode, with a price of 299,900 yuan, approximately 39,740 euros.

Starting at 27,600 euros with up to 505 km of electric range

Below the N90 is the SkyNomad N70, a SUV with a length of 4,960 mm, featuring an almost identical design and available in two mechanical configurations. The entry-level version, called the N70 Pro, comes equipped with a front electric motor producing 286 HP and a 52 kWh LFP battery. Xiaomi claims an electric range of 351 km and a combined range of up to 1,351 km, with a starting price of 209,900 yuan, approximately 27,800 euros.

The N70 Max becomes even more interesting from an electrification perspective. It features two electric motors, all-wheel drive, and a combined power output of 421 horsepower. Its ternary battery capacity reaches 76 kWh, enabling an electric range of 505 km according to CLTC standards—the highest figure in the entire new lineup. The combined range is 1,461 km, with a starting price of 239,900 yuan, approximately 31,700 euros. Xiaomi also claims it can recover up to 310 km of range in just 15 minutes. All SkyNomad models use a 1.5 turbo gasoline engine as an electric power generator. The company states that it takes about 18 minutes to charge the batteries from 20% to 80%.

Xiaomi also focuses on technology and safety

The entire family comes standard with Xiaomi’s HAD assistance system, powered by the Nvidia Drive Thor processor with a computing capacity of 700 TOPS. The N70 models use one LiDAR sensor, while the N90 models feature two. The multimedia system operates via HyperOS and a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor.

With the SkyNomad, Xiaomi significantly expands its potential customer base. The company remains committed to delivering 550,000 units by 2026, and its CEO Lei Jun has confirmed that Xiaomi Auto has already surpassed 800,000 units delivered since entering the market. It now aims to attract those who typically use electric vehicles but need to travel long distances without relying solely on charging stations.
