Xiaomi unveils Sky Nomad: first N90 SUV confirmed in China

Xiaomi has taken the wraps off Sky Nomad, a new family SUV line for China. The first model is the full-size N90, confirmed on July 8, 2026. It’s expected to be an extended-range electric vehicle, with rivals like Li Auto’s L9 and Aito’s M9 clearly in the crosshairs. In China, Sky Nomad will be sold under the Xiaomi Pengcheng name.

The full-size Xiaomi Sky Nomad N90 is expected to be an EREV, not a pure EV. It’s said to stretch past 5.3 meters, sit on a 3.1-meter wheelbase, and offer both five- and seven-seat layouts. That puts it right up against the Li Auto L9 and Aito M9. Local reports also point to a 200,000-yuan starting price, which would undercut those rivals, both of which start above 250,000 yuan.

Reports also say a 1.5-liter turbo engine will act only as a generator, paired with a battery larger than 70 kWh. The expected result is 400 to 500 km of electric range and more than 1,500 km combined. That follows Chinese authorities approving Xiaomi’s Beijing plant to build extended-range vehicles on June 10.

If you want EV-style driving without as much charging hassle, the Xiaomi Sky Nomad N90 already looks worth a close look. It also expands Xiaomi’s driver-focused SU7/YU7 strategy, adding a Kunlun-based flat floor, long-rail seating, LiDAR, powered side steps, and an optional rooftop tent for camping, travel, and family use. Xiaomi is targeting 550,000 deliveries in 2026 after 185,000 in the first half and a 3.1 billion yuan Q1 EV operating loss.
