Xiaomi SkyNomad N70 and N90 revealed as two large SUVs with batteries up to 76 kWh

Xiaomi confirmed the SkyNomad name on July 8, 2026. Two days later, China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology disclosed four applications: N70, N70 Max, N90 Max and N90 Max Camping. The filings provide the first joined-up set of production dimensions, weights, motor outputs and battery capacities.

Earlier reports often called Xiaomi’s large family SUV YU9 or used the internal Kunlun name. The finished structure is clearer. SkyNomad is a product series within Xiaomi Auto. SU7 and YU7 continue as sporty battery EVs, while N70 and N90 prioritize cabin space, long-distance use and an EREV system in which electric motors drive the wheels and a gasoline engine generates electricity.

Launching two vehicles also creates a genuine range rather than a single expensive flagship. The N70 is a large five-seater and the N90 is a full-size model. Certification is not the same as a retail launch, however. Xiaomi has not published final trims, prices, charging speeds or a confirmed delivery calendar, so those details should remain open until a dedicated announcement.

The SkyNomad N70 measures 4,960 by 1,998 by 1,785 mm on a 2,950 mm wheelbase. It seats five, can wear 19- or 21-inch wheels and is already longer than many conventional midsize SUVs. Kerb weight ranges from 2,453 to 2,610 kg depending on the powertrain.

The N90 is substantially larger at 5,285 by 1,998 by 1,825 mm, with 3,080 mm between the axles. Regular versions offer five or seven seats, weigh 2,800 kg and carry a gross vehicle rating of up to 3,361 kg. Staggered 21-inch tyres measure 255/45 at the front and 265/45 at the rear. The camping model is another 100 mm taller because of its lifting roof.

SkyNomad deliberately moves away from the low, flowing surfaces of SU7 and YU7. Both SUVs have high bonnets, upright sides, near-vertical tails and a large looped rear light signature. A roof lidar and optional powered side steps are visible in the filings. The sensor alone does not define the assistance package: Xiaomi has not yet detailed the production compute platform or enabled driver-assistance functions.

The N90 is designed around a variable interior rather than outright performance. Xiaomi says it began with the cabin requirements, giving the new Kunlun architecture a flat floor and long longitudinal rails. The front seats can turn toward the second row, while movable console modules and detachable tables support several layouts.

The seven-seat configuration uses a 2+2+3 arrangement. The second row gets individual chairs with armrests and leg supports, and Xiaomi has mentioned a large passenger display. Official scenes show the cabin acting as a one-person workspace, a cafe for two or a compact meeting room. Functionally, it borrows from an MPV even though the exterior remains a large SUV.

Xiaomi also illustrates room for at least seven suitcases behind the occupied third row. That is a manufacturer visualization, not an independent cargo test, and no volume in litres has been released. Other everyday details remain unknown, including rail travel, transformation time, table load limits and how the climate system behaves when occupants face each other.

The base N70 uses a 210 kW, or 282 hp, rear motor. A 52 kWh Sunwoda lithium-iron-phosphate battery provides 270 km of electric range in the Chinese certification data. With the pack depleted, listed fuel consumption is 5.8 litres per 100 km.

N70 Max adds a 100 kW front motor for all-wheel drive and 310 kW, roughly 416 hp, in total. It switches to a 76 kWh CALB ternary NMC battery. Certified electric range rises to 380 km, while depleted-battery fuel consumption increases to 6.2 L/100 km. Both versions are limited to 190 km/h.

A 1.5-litre M15DRE gasoline engine rated at 112 kW sits under the bonnet. It does not mechanically drive the wheels; it generates electricity instead. The result should feel like an EV while retaining an onboard energy source for long trips. Chinese certification figures are not directly equivalent to WLTP, winter operation or sustained motorway travel, so real range will vary with speed, weather, tyres and payload.

The flagship N90 Max combines a 100 kW front motor, a 210 kW rear motor and a 76 kWh CALB NMC battery. Total output is 310 kW, top speed is 190 km/h and certified electric range is 370 km. The depleted-battery fuel figure is 6.26 L/100 km.

Mass is the central question. A regular N90 Max weighs 2.8 tonnes, so the same 310 kW used by N70 Max has to move a much larger vehicle. Xiaomi has not stated its 0-100 km/h time, towing capacity or rapid-charging rate. Those omissions make direct performance and efficiency comparisons with Li Auto L9, Aito M9 or Zeekr 9X premature.

The five-seat Camping model weighs 2,840 kg and stands 1,925 mm tall. Its application lists a lifting roof with a sleeping platform, a side cabinet and an awning interface; a projector and removable tables appear as options. This is a distinct factory configuration for overnight travel rather than a cosmetic accessories pack.

Xiaomi Auto delivered 185,055 vehicles in China during the first half of 2026, up 17.2 percent year over year according to China EV DataTracker. N70 and N90 move the company into the large family EREV segment already contested by Li Auto, Aito, Deepal and several other Chinese manufacturers.

The two vehicles have separate jobs. N70 is the more approachable five-seat choice for buyers who want a large body and long electric range. N90 adds a third row, a more ambitious flexible cabin and a camping derivative. The final price ladder remains unknown; figures circulating outside Xiaomi should be treated as forecasts rather than a published price list.

Xiaomi has not announced official SkyNomad sales outside China. That includes Europe, the UK and every other export market. A future Chinese price would also exclude international logistics, duties, homologation, warranty and service. Current Xiaomi models in the AutoCore catalogue can be viewed separately; N70 and N90 should only be added after their production configurations are confirmed.
