2026 Xiaomi SkyNomad N70: Five-Seat EREV SUV From $31,300 With Up to 505 km EV Range

The Xiaomi SkyNomad N70 is one of Xiaomi's first two range-extender EVs, opening a second product line alongside the automaker's SU7 and YU7 pure-electric cars, and it went on sale in China on September 7, 2026. This dealer walkaround shows the N70 Max, a five-seat, dual-motor AWD SUV that pairs a 76 kWh battery with a 1.5-liter range-extender engine for a CLTC-rated 505 km of pure-EV range and 1,461 km combined. Xiaomi launched two N70 trims: the N70 Max at 239,900 yuan (about $35,800 at 6.70 yuan per dollar), 20,000 yuan below its pre-sale price, and a new entry-level N70 Pro at 209,900 yuan (about $31,300) with a 52 kWh LFP battery and a single 210 kW (282 hp) motor. Both come with standard LiDAR and the NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Thor chip. The N70 is the smaller, five-seat sibling to the seven-seat SkyNomad N90; both share Xiaomi's new Kunlun range-extender architecture but target different family sizes and budgets. For buyers cross-shopping the Li Auto L6 or AITO and Deepal's EREV SUVs, the N70 lands as an aggressively specced newcomer from a brand already dominant in China's EV space with the SU7 and YU7.

Performance & Specs

The N70 Max pairs a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder range-extender engine (112 kW / 150 hp, acting purely as a generator) with a dual-motor AWD electric drivetrain — a 210 kW (282 hp) front motor and a 100 kW (134 hp) rear motor for a combined 310 kW (416 hp). That's enough for a 5.5-second 0-100 km/h time and a 190 km/h top speed, both matching Xiaomi's launch specifications and confirmed by the reviewer on camera. Xiaomi has not published an official torque figure, and secondary sources quote conflicting numbers (540 Nm and 690 Nm), so treat any torque value as unconfirmed. The entry N70 Pro uses a single 210 kW (282 hp) motor, which most Chinese coverage describes as front-wheel drive, and takes 7.9 seconds to reach 100 km/h with the same 190 km/h top speed. The N70 Max rides on double-wishbone front and multi-link rear suspension with air springs and continuously variable damping, plus three selectable steering-effort levels.

Dimensions & Practicality

Height	1,765 mm
Wheelbase	2,950 mm
Ground clearance	Up to ~190 mm (air suspension)

At 4,960 mm long on a 2,950 mm wheelbase, the N70 is a genuinely large mid-size SUV, though Xiaomi keeps it strictly five-seat — the seven-seat layout is reserved for the larger N90 sibling. The Max stands 1,765 mm tall (Xiaomi lists the Pro at 1,785 mm). The second row on the showroom car uses captain's-style chairs that slide on five rails, up to 600 mm, and recline, with a flat load floor and a fold-out center table borrowing the same idea Zeekr uses on its 9X and 8X. Rear legroom tops out at 1,410 mm with the second row slid back. Xiaomi quotes 1,203 liters of standard cargo volume and 2,425 liters at maximum expansion; the company doesn't state how the smaller figure is measured, and the reviewer's own on-camera estimate of "550 to 600 liters" is considerably lower. There's no front trunk; the range-extender engine occupies that space. Wheels are wrapped in 255/45R21 Bridgestone tires with Xiaomi-branded brake calipers, and the cabin gets a large panoramic glass roof, though unlike its Zeekr rivals, the sunshade has to be operated manually rather than motorized.

Charging & Battery

The N70 range is reported to use a 400V high-voltage architecture rather than 800V, and Xiaomi quotes 20-80% in about 18 minutes for both battery packs at a compatible DC fast charger; a 15-minute charge is claimed to add roughly 310 km of CLTC range on the Max and 220 km on the Pro. Xiaomi hasn't published a peak charging-power figure yet. The Max uses a 76 kWh ternary NMC pack and the Pro a smaller 52 kWh LFP pack, trading range for cost. With the range extender running, Xiaomi rates WLTC-cycle fuel consumption at 6.1 L/100 km for the Max and 5.7 L/100 km for the Pro, with the Max carrying a 45-liter fuel tank. The 505 km CLTC EV range against the 76 kWh pack works out to roughly 15 kWh of battery capacity per 100 km of rated range.

FUEL TANK	45 L (Max; range-extender)

Design & Interior

The N70 wears a closed-off, grille-less front fascia with a full-width LED light bar and "SKYNOMAD" script running across the hood — no visible combustion-era styling cues despite the engine under the hood. Around back, a matching full-width taillight bar frames the "SKYNOMAD" wordmark above an "N70" badge on the tailgate, with the same clean, unbroken lighting signature Xiaomi has used across its SU7 and YU7 range. The 21-inch wheels carry a Xiaomi "Mi" logo center cap on their brake calipers, a small branding touch that shows up throughout the cabin too. Inside, the test car wears a two-tone cream-and-black leather interior with quilted stitching, open-pore wood trim across the dashboard, and a floating center console housing the gear selector. A digital instrument cluster sits behind the steering wheel alongside a large central touchscreen, and the second-row captain's chairs get their own fold-out tray table and rear entertainment display, aimed squarely at families who want a lounge-like back seat rather than a bench.

Technology & Features

The center touchscreen runs Xiaomi's own infotainment software with AI voice control and dual 5G/Wi-Fi connectivity, though as reviewed the interface is Chinese-language only — the reviewer notes English support may come in a future update but isn't available yet. Xiaomi's press materials cite a 25-speaker, 4,890-watt audio system in a 7.1.4 surround configuration on the Max, a notably high-end setup for this price bracket. The second-row seats can slide and recline, with a flat floor underneath for a flexible cabin layout. Three selectable steering-effort levels let drivers dial in how heavy the wheel feels, and the panoramic glass roof brightens the cabin considerably, even if its shade opens by hand rather than by motor.

Safety & ADAS

Every N70 gets Xiaomi's HAD driver-assist suite as standard, built around a roof-mounted LiDAR and 4D millimeter-wave radar, plus cameras and ultrasonic sensors, all processed by the 700-TOPS NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Thor chip. The N70 carries nine airbags, and the reviewer notes a 360-degree camera system and extensive parking-sensor coverage on the showroom car. That hardware suite positions the N70's ADAS as a strong L2+ system rather than any hands-off autonomy claim — Xiaomi hasn't published a formal SAE level for HAD, and the site treats it as L2+ until the automaker states otherwise.

ADAS LEVEL	L2+ (Xiaomi HAD)
ADAS FEATURES	LiDAR, 4D mmWave radar, cameras, ultrasonic sensors, 360° camera, parking sensors, 9 airbags

Pricing & Availability

Xiaomi launched the SkyNomad N70 in China on September 7, 2026 with two trims: the N70 Pro at 209,900 yuan (about $31,300 at 6.70 yuan per dollar) and the N70 Max at 239,900 yuan (about $35,800). The N70 Max is 20,000 yuan (7.7%) cheaper than the 259,900 yuan pre-sale price announced on July 30, which worked out to about $38,800, and the Pro is a new, lower entry point. Orders placed before October 7 carry launch-window benefits that Xiaomi values at up to 63,000 yuan on the Pro and up to 67,000 yuan on the Max, plus a 1.99% five-year financing offer with a down payment from 49,900 yuan. Cars from an initial batch can be locked with a 20,000 yuan deposit and are promised within one to five weeks, and deliveries began on September 12 in 75 Chinese cities. The N70 is sold only in China for now: Xiaomi has said it plans to begin selling cars in Europe in 2027, but as of September 2026 it has not confirmed the SkyNomad for Europe or any other export market.

How It Compares

The Li Auto L6 is the closest five-seat rival: at 249,800 yuan it costs about $1,500 more than the N70 Max, and its 300 kW (402 hp) system and 300 km of electric range trail the Max's 416 hp and 505 km, with a lower 1,250 km combined figure (all CLTC), though Li Auto has a much longer ownership track record than Xiaomi's new line. The Deepal S09 is a larger six-seater: its rear-drive, large-battery version lists at 259,900 yuan, about $3,000 above the N70 Max, with 231 kW (310 hp), 310 km of electric range and 1,210 km combined. The entry N70 Pro at 209,900 yuan undercuts both by roughly $6,000 to $7,500, and although it gives up power with 282 hp, its 351 km of electric range still beats both rivals. Against both, the N70 Max's 505 km EV-only range stands out as the biggest differentiator — neither rival gets close to that pure-electric figure.
