Xiaomi launches SkyNomad SUV series with reconfigurable interiors and extended‑range powertrains
China's Xiaomi unveiled its SkyNomad SUV line on 30 July 2024, expanding the company's electric‑vehicle portfolio into the large‑family segment. The flagship N90 Max model is a seven‑seat extended‑range electric vehicle (EREV) that combines a 76 kWh battery with a 1.5‑litre turbocharged range‑extender engine and a 60 L fuel tank. Priced at 299,900 yuan (≈ US$44,400), it offers a combined driving range of up to 1,705 km. A smaller N70 model, confirmed by regulatory filings, measures 4,960 mm long, 1,998 mm wide and 1,785 mm high with a 2,950 mm wheelbase; the N70 Max variant pairs the same 1.5‑L engine (112 kW) with dual electric motors for a total output of 310 kW and an electric‑only range of about 505 km. All SkyNomad vehicles are built on Xiaomi’s new Kunlun platform, which provides a flat floor and modular cabin that can be reconfigured with sliding rails, a movable console, and optional amenities such as a fridge and rear screen. Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun noted that strong sales of Li Auto’s L6 EREV support the market potential for this technology. The launch is intended to revive Xiaomi’s EV sales after first‑half deliveries fell short of the annual target and to prepare for a European market entry next year.
