Xiaomi enters the EREV market with Sky Nomad SUVs priced from 209,900 yuan

Xiaomi has made its first move beyond battery-electric vehicles, launching the Sky Nomad family of extended-range SUVs from 209,900 yuan (about $30,960). The initial range covers the five-seat N70 Pro and N70 Max, the seven-seat N90 Max, and a camping-oriented N90 Max Explorer edition, priced between 209,900 and 299,900 yuan. Launch pricing undercuts the July 30 pre-sale quotes by 20,000 yuan on the N70 Max and 30,000 yuan on the N90 Max, cuts of roughly 7.7% and 10%.

The N70 is a mid-to-large five-seat SUV measuring 4,960 mm long with a 2,950 mm wheelbase, offered with either a 210 kW single motor or a 310 kW dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup. The N70 Max carries a 76-kWh ternary battery rated at 505 km of CLTC electric range and 1,461 km combined, and can recover up to 310 km of range in a 15-minute charge. The larger N90 Max stretches to 5,285 mm on a 3,080 mm wheelbase with 2+2+3 seating, pairing the same dual-motor system and battery with 464 km of electric range and 1,705 km total. Every variant uses a 1.5-liter turbocharged range extender running on 92-octane gasoline, with 20-to-80% charging in as little as 18 minutes.

All versions come standard with Xiaomi's HAD driver assistance built on an Nvidia Drive Thor chip rated at 700 TOPS, plus a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3-powered HyperOS cabin with Xiao AI voice control and smart-home connectivity. The Explorer edition's centerpiece is a factory pop-top roof that raises maximum interior height to 2,294 mm and pairs with a flat-folding rear bench and underfloor heating, though the roof may only be raised while parked off public roads.

The lineup is central to Xiaomi's push toward 550,000 deliveries in 2026. Lei Jun said cumulative deliveries passed 800,000 on Monday, yet only about 44.8% of the annual goal had been met through August, implying an average of roughly 75,900 units per month over the final four months. The company is also entering a segment under pressure: China's EREV retail sales fell 15.35% year-on-year to 535,000 units from January through July, though Lei argued that rivals like Li Auto show consumers will pay for well-designed extended-range vehicles.
