Xiaomi is taking its family-focused SUV strategy to a new level with the SkyNomad N90 Max, a large seven-seat range-extender SUV that puts cabin space, flexible seating and long-distance travel at the center of its design.
The N90 Max stands out with its three-row 2+2+3 seating configuration, large cabin, flexible seat rails and an extended-range electric powertrain. Xiaomi is positioning the vehicle as more than just a conventional family SUV β it is designed around the idea of turning the cabin into a flexible living space.
A Third Row Designed for Adults
One of the biggest talking points of the Xiaomi SkyNomad N90 Max is its third-row usability.
Rather than treating the third row as occasional seating for children, Xiaomi has designed the cabin around providing usable space throughout all three rows. The vehicle’s tall, boxy proportions and long wheelbase help create a spacious passenger compartment.
The N90 Max measures 5,285 mm long, with a 3,080 mm wheelbase, placing it firmly in the large SUV category.
The vehicle uses a 2+2+3 seating configuration, providing dedicated seating for seven occupants.
Flexible 2+2+3 Cabin Layout
The N90 Max is built around flexibility.
Its second- and third-row seating can be adjusted along extended rails, allowing owners to prioritise passenger comfort, cargo space or different cabin configurations depending on the journey.
The front seats can also rotate by 180 degrees when stationary, creating a more social cabin environment. Xiaomi has designed the interior to support family travel, relaxation and even mobile-work scenarios.
Range-Extender Powertrain
Unlike a conventional battery-electric vehicle, the N90 Max uses a range-extender electric powertrain.
The vehicle uses a 1.5-litre turbocharged gasoline engine as a generator, while electric motors provide propulsion. The N90 Max combines this system with a 76 kWh battery and dual electric motors.
The dual-motor system produces approximately 416 hp, with all-wheel drive.
Xiaomi quotes an electric driving range of up to 464 km under CLTC testing, while the combined range can reach approximately 1,705 km, depending on specification and test conditions.
Large SUV Dimensions
The SkyNomad N90 Max has substantial dimensions:
- Length: 5,285 mm
- Width: 1,998 mm
- Height: 1,825 mm
- Wheelbase: 3,080 mm
- Seating: 7
- Configuration: 2+2+3
- Drive: Dual-motor AWD
- System output: Approximately 416 hp
These dimensions help explain why Xiaomi has been able to focus so heavily on passenger and luggage space.
More Than Just a Family SUV
Xiaomi’s approach to the N90 Max is particularly interesting because the company is treating the interior as a flexible environment rather than simply a traditional three-row cabin.
Depending on configuration, the vehicle can provide space for passengers to relax, work or travel over long distances.
The cabin also offers features such as zero-gravity seating, a large central display, head-up display technology, a ceiling-mounted screen and a built-in refrigerator, depending on specification.
Technology and Driver Assistance
The N90 Max also brings substantial computing and driver-assistance technology.
Reported specifications include an NVIDIA Drive Thor platform for advanced driver-assistance functions and LiDAR hardware. The cabin is also equipped with Xiaomi’s connected-car ecosystem and advanced infotainment technology.
Safety-Focused Construction
Xiaomi says the N90 Max uses a high proportion of high-strength steel and aluminium in its body structure.
The company has reported that 90.4% of the body structure consists of high-strength steel and aluminium, while ultra-high-strength steel is used in key structural areas.
A New Direction for Xiaomi’s Automotive Business
The SkyNomad N90 Max represents a different direction for Xiaomi’s automotive ambitions.
The company’s SU7 and YU7 have focused heavily on performance and technology, while the SkyNomad family is designed around space, practicality and family mobility.
With its large three-row cabin, flexible seating, range-extender technology and extensive technology package, the N90 Max could become an important model for Xiaomi as it expands beyond its existing vehicle lineup.
Recent reporting indicates that the N90 Max was opened for pre-orders in China at around 299,900 yuan, with market launch planned for September 2026. Availability, pricing and specifications outside China may vary.
Final Take
The Xiaomi SkyNomad N90 Max is not simply another large SUV.
Its biggest selling point is the combination of seven-seat practicality, a genuinely flexible three-row cabin and range-extender electric technology.
For families who regularly travel with multiple passengers, the ability to use the third row without sacrificing the overall cabin experience could be one of the N90 Max’s most important advantages.
Xiaomi is clearly targeting a growing market for large, technology-rich family vehicles β and the SkyNomad N90 Max gives the company a distinctive entry into that segment.
