The Chinese automotive market continues to expand through diverse model launches and technological integration. In the premium segment, FAW Group’s Hongqi brand is preparing to debut a refreshed HS5 crossover at the Chengdu Auto Show, while luxury minivans like the Maextro V800—a Huawei and JAC Motors collaboration—see high demand. Xiaomi’s EV unit has reached significant milestones, with its SU7 sedan series surpassing 500,000 cumulative deliveries. By mid-2026, Xiaomi pivoted toward the extended-range electric vehicle (EREV/REEV) market with its Sky Nomad (Pengcheng) series. This lineup includes the five-seat N70, starting at approximately $31,000 (209,900 RMB), and the seven-seat N90, with a high-end Max Explorer edition priced around $44,700 (299,900 RMB). These models emphasize flexible interior spaces and utilize L2+ level assisted driving. In September 2026, Xiaomi achieved a significant milestone by surpassing 40,000 monthly vehicle deliveries, up from approximately 31,267 in July and 30,153 in August. This growth is attributed to the Sky Nomad series, which utilizes a 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine as a generator to charge the battery. The lineup, which includes the N70 Pro, N70 Max, and N90 Max, offers a combined range of up to 1,705 km under the Chinese CLTC cycle. ~~Following its launch, the Sky Nomad series secured over 70,000 locked-in orders. Xiaomi Auto aims to reach 550,000 total vehicle deliveries by the end of 2026.~~ Between September 7 and October 7, 2026, Xiaomi reported that the ~~SkyNomad~~ Sky Nomad series specifically secured over 70,000 locked-in, non-refundable orders. Of the more than 40,000 total vehicles delivered in September, ~~SkyNomad~~ Sky Nomad models accounted for over 10,000 units. While the Sky Nomad series has seen significant initial interest, its performance has not yet matched the demand seen for the company’s YU7 SUV model. This strong order volume contributed to a rise in Xiaomi’s stock price on the Hong Kong exchange, which saw gains of up to 9.2%. Xiaomi’s market position remains strong, having secured first place in the 2026 J.D. ~~Power China Automotive Brand Loyalty Index.~~
