The Xiaomi Skynomad N90 Max completed a 764-mile Shanghai-to-Beijing highway run with four adults, 110 pounds of cargo, climate control set to 75 degrees Fahrenheit, and 34 miles still displayed. That gives Xiaomi's full-size extended-range electric SUV a credible long-distance case, though its 1,059-mile CLTC claim still needs independent testing.

How far did the Xiaomi Skynomad N90 Max travel in real conditions?

The run covered 764 miles on one charge and one full 15.9-gallon gasoline tank. The crew averaged 64.6 mph, used Eco mode, set tire pressure to 42 psi, and selected 80 percent regenerative braking. Looking at the data, those conditions resemble controlled highway travel rather than low-speed range chasing.

Range measure Published figure Documented result Retention
Electric-only distance 288 miles CLTC 201 miles 69.7%
Combined distance 1,059 miles CLTC 798 miles, including remaining display estimate 75.3%
Electric consumption No comparable EPA figure 19.7 kWh/100 km, or 3.15 mi/kWh N/A
Generator-on fuel use No EPA rating 6.7 L/100 km, or about 35.1 mpg N/A

The electric leg carries the real value. A 201-mile highway result from a 76 kWh pack suggests that many owners could complete daily driving on electricity, then reserve gasoline generation for longer routes. Consequently, the N90 Max attacks charging anxiety without making its 1.5-liter turbocharged engine mechanically drive the wheels.

What powers this 6,000-pound-class family SUV?

Dual electric motors deliver all-wheel drive, 310 kW, or 416 hp, and 690 Nm, or 509 lb-ft. Xiaomi claims 0-62 mph in 5.9 seconds and a 118 mph top speed. Specifically, the gasoline engine works as a generator, so motor response stays consistent and the drivetrain avoids a multi-speed transmission or a mechanical link from engine to axle.

Specification Xiaomi Skynomad N90 Max
Battery 76 kWh CALB ternary NMC pack
DC fast charging 20-80% in 18 minutes
Power and torque 416 hp and 509 lb-ft
Length 208.1 in / 5,285 mm
Width 78.7 in / 1,998 mm
Height 71.9 in / 1,825 mm
Wheelbase 121.3 in / 3,080 mm
Adjustable ground clearance 5.2-7.6 in / 132-192 mm
Seating Seven

The 20-80 percent session adds 45.6 kWh in 18 minutes, implying roughly 152 kW average power. That looks strong for a 400V EREV, but Xiaomi has not released a full charging curve or repeat-session thermal data. In addition, air suspension, continuously variable dampers, a front double-wishbone layout, and a rear five-link setup target ride control across the SUV's substantial mass.

Does the cabin support long trips or merely photograph well?

The cabin backs the range claim with useful hardware: a 16.1-inch center screen, an 8.8-inch driver display, a 21.4-inch 3K rear screen, a 9-liter refrigerator, and 25 speakers. Heated, ventilated, and massaging seats serve front and rear passengers. A 577-liter trunk expands to 1,831 liters, though Xiaomi provides no front trunk.

  • The standard model seats seven and starts near $40,215 in China.
  • The five-seat camping edition starts near $44,685.
  • Its electric pop-up roof creates 21.5 square feet of upper space and supports 441 pounds.
  • A power-folding 73.6-by-48.8-inch bed sits below, while the heated floor reaches 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

From an expert perspective, the camping edition offers real packaging value, not decorative accessories. The closed roof adds 3.9 inches of height, yet the body retains a 0.245 drag coefficient. By comparison, aftermarket roof tents create permanent aerodynamic drag and often add wind noise.

Is the Xiaomi Skynomad N90 Max a smart buy for US drivers?

No, at least not yet. Xiaomi has announced Chinese pricing, while Reuters reports a planned European entry in 2027. The company has provided no US sales date, EPA range rating, NACS charging plan, federal certification, local warranty, or service network. The attractive converted price therefore does not represent a US transaction price.

Pros Cons
201-mile documented electric highway leg No EPA-rated range
Fast 18-minute 20-80% charging claim No published charging curve
Seven-seat cabin with flexible cargo space Very large 208.1-inch body
Generator extends remote-road usability Gasoline use adds maintenance and emissions
Integrated camping hardware available No confirmed US launch or support

Pro-Tip: Judge the N90 Max by electric miles first

Compare your normal daily mileage with the 201-mile documented electric result, not the four-digit CLTC combined claim. If you can charge at home and stay under that distance, the engine may remain dormant most days. For frequent cross-country use, demand verified generator fuel economy, sustained mountain-grade output, towing limits, and cold-weather data before placing an order.

The Take

The Xiaomi Skynomad N90 Max range test proves that a large EREV can cover serious highway distance while preserving electric driving for routine use. Its battery equals the capacity of many pure EVs, and its generator supplies infrastructure insurance. Still, CLTC range, China-only pricing, and missing US certification keep this result impressive but geographically limited.
