Instead of creating the exterior, the powertrain and the chassis first and then making use of the space left over for the cabin, Xiaomi claims it started with the requirements of the cabin and developed the vehicle architecture around them.N90 Max comes with the dimensions of 5,285mm long, 1,998mm wide, and 1,825mm high, with a wheelbase of 3,080mm. On the other hand, the N70 Max has dimensions of 4,960mm long, 1,998mm wide, and 1,765mm high, with a wheelbase of 2,950mm.N90 Max uses an upright structure along with a flat roof design to provide increased headroom for the rear two rows. Xiaomi has used a waistline and rising sill line in order to give the SUV a robust appearance.The design makes use of a rounded-rectangle theme in the design of the headlights, taillights, door handles and side cameras. Xiaomi claims that the SkyNomad makes use of more than 140 aerodynamic optimizations and comes with an active grille as standard. The N90 Max has a claimed drag coefficient of 0.255.The SUV also gets smart electric doors that can be opened using touch or voice commands. The rear doors open to nearly 90 degrees, while an AI-powered 360-degree anti-collision system can detect obstacles near an opening door and either resist the opening or issue a warning.Flat floor and flexible seating are key highlightsThe most notable aspect of the SkyNomad is its approach to interior space. Xiaomi Kunlun Platform has been designed to minimise the amount of mechanical hardware intruding into the cabin.The architecture addresses packaging along the X, Y and Z axes. At the front, Xiaomi says a five-in-one extended-range electric vehicle system, integrated cooling and refrigerant modules and other components help reduce the front cabin length to 1,265mm.At the rear, the suspension and wheel-arch arrangement has been redesigned to free up additional space for third-row occupants. Xiaomi also redesigned the rear electric drive unit and suspension architecture to reduce the vertical intrusion into the cabin.The result is a completely flat floor extending from the first row through the third row and cargo area. Xiaomi says the floor has only a 2.95-degree slope, with a maximum flat area exceeding 4.4 square metres.N90 Max is also fitted with seat rails of up to 1,938 mm in length, with 900 mm of sliding distance in both the second and third rows. The seat rails feature reinforced 7 series aluminium alloys and are subjected to 15,000 cycles testing.This makes the interior highly flexible and adaptable to various scenarios, whether carrying seven people, providing huge cargo space or sleeping area.Seven-seat SUV offers up to 1,831 litres of cargo spaceXiaomi says the SkyNomad N90 series gives you 2,760mm of space for everyone inside, and the second-row legroom stretches out to 1.55 meters. With the usual seven seats, the SUV can fit seven people plus seven 20-inch suitcases, no problem. But if you move the seats around, you can get up to 1,831 liters of cargo room, enough to pack in 24 of those 20-inch suitcases.Inside, you’ll find 34 storage spots scattered throughout. The front passenger glovebox alone holds 18.4 liters and can fit up to seven 13-inch laptops, if you’re counting. That’s a lot of stuff packed into one cabin.The sliding centre console is another key feature. It can be extended when required and retracted flush when not in use. The console incorporates 50W wireless charging, a 9-litre compressor refrigerator, two USB-C ports and additional accessory expansion.Multiple cabin modes transform the SkyNomadAccording to Xiaomi, the flexible cabin not only provides traditional seating configurations. They have created 7+N scenarios where the cabin is adaptable to various needs of the passengers including family travel, business needs, camping, and cargo.For instance, the front seat can be rotated so that the occupants in the front seats face the rear ones. In addition, the third seat can also be folded and relocated.A first-class mode pushes the second and third rows back, providing up to 1,550mm of second-row legroom. The second-row seats can also be placed into a zero-gravity position with a 128-degree hip angle and 130-degree knee angle.For camping or resting, the second and third rows can be converted into a bed. With the front seats also repositioned, Xiaomi says the maximum sleeping length can reach 2,300mm.In Ultimate Storage Mode, the SUV provides up to 1,260mm of cargo depth and the maximum 1,831-litre cargo capacity.Premium cabin with OLED-certified soft-touch surfacesIn addition, Xiaomi is not forgetting about the quality of the interior. The N90 models have soft wraparound material on 95% of high-touch surfaces, which covers up to 32 square meters.According to the company, all 32 square meters of the interior have OEKO-TEX certification, and the materials are developed based on infant-grade safety criteria.The front and second row seatbacks have a multi-layer comfort system, whereas the front seats have 16-point massage, ventilation and heating. Up to four zero gravity seats can be installed.The SkyNomad is offered with Cream Beige and Mocha Brown interior finishes. Exterior colour choices include Mountain Green, Valley Blue and Volcanic Gray.Xiaomi SkyNomad safety featuresSafety is another major focus of the new SUV. The N90 Max uses a steel-aluminium hybrid body, with 90.4% of its body structure made from high-strength steel and aluminium alloy, according to Xiaomi.The structure incorporates 2,200MPa ultra-high-strength steel at 16 critical locations. Xiaomi says the embedded roll cage can withstand a maximum roof-crush load of nearly 14 tonnes.The N90 Max also comes with 12 airbags, covering all three rows. The safety system includes far-side airbags and third-row side airbags, along with a 3,200mm side curtain.There are nine collision sensors, including additional sensors around the front and C-pillars. Xiaomi says its safety development also accounts for smaller female occupants and child protection across the second and third rows.7,500mm battery safety and extended-range technologyThe SkyNomad uses Xiaomi's Armor Scale Battery, which forms part of the company's broader battery development programme. Xiaomi says it has a battery R&D team of more than 230 people and has filed 697 related patents.The battery features 18 layers of structural safety protection and up to 16 layers of thermal protection. Xiaomi says the battery can maintain full functionality following a 500J underbody impact without leakage, fire or explosion.The company has also incorporated extensive aerogel insulation to prevent thermal propagation.For emergency situations, the SkyNomad features triple-redundant door handles that allow mechanical opening even after a complete loss of electrical power. The N90 Max also has dual emergency pull handles on the tailgate.Xiaomi claims the N90 Max can handle emergency wading depths of up to 750mm and can remain free of significant water ingress for three minutes in an accidental submersion scenario.Xiaomi SkyNomad gets AI-powered cabin featuresThe SUV's electronics are controlled through a four-in-one domain control module based on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Mobile Platform. Xiaomi claims this delivers 17% higher CPU performance and 100% higher AI computing power compared with the previous generation.The SkyNomad supports dual 5G and Wi-Fi 7 connectivity. It also gets a customisable head-up display with a claimed 15,000-nit brightness.Inside, the vehicle has a six-screen connectivity system and a 25-speaker audio system. A 6.9-inch rear control screen allows passengers to control cabin functions from the second row.Xiaomi's Hyper XiaoAi AI assistant can reportedly switch between 11 cabin layout modes through a single voice command, coordinating the seats, lighting and climate based on the user's request.Up to 1,705km combined rangeThe SkyNomad comes equipped with the Kunlun HyperRange extended-range architecture from Xiaomi. Its battery capacities vary between 52kWh and 76kWh.N70 Max has a reported 505km driving range in electric-only mode on the CLTC cycle, whereas N90 Max can provide an electric range up to 464km.Mentioned combined range of up to 1,705km is achievable by the N90 Max. The car's five-in-one silicon-carbide range-extending drive unit reduces energy consumption, as the company says 15.85kWh/100km.N90 Max is equipped with dual-motor all-wheel-drive with a maximum power output of 310kW. Xiaomi says the braking distance from 0-100km/h for this car equals 38.57 meters, as well as the ability to do 10 consecutive braking manoeuvres.Despite the nearly 5.3m length of the N90 Max, Xiaomi says the car has a turning radius of 5.95m.Xiaomi SkyNomad: what makes it different?With the SkyNomad series, Xiaomi is moving beyond simply adding more power or range to an electric SUV. The company is placing cabin flexibility at the centre of its vehicle architecture.The use of a flat floor, long rails, multiple sitting options, a seven-seater option, and an extended-range powertrain makes the SkyNomad very family-oriented. Apart from that, Xiaomi will feature several high-end specifications such as zero-gravity sitting, a 50-watt wireless charger, a built-in refrigerator, high-end driver-assistance system hardware, and multi-screens in the cabin environment.The Xiaomi SkyNomad N90 Max has a price tag of RMB 299,900, while the Xiaomi SkyNomad N70 Max is available at RMB 259,900 in China.
