Xiaomi SkyNomad N90 Is Formally Unveiled — Codename Kunlun, Interior That Transforms Into a Studio


Two days after Xiaomi introduced the SkyNomad brand, the N90 SUV has received its full formal unveiling. The design details, internal codename, and flexible cabin concept are now officially confirmed — alongside a regulatory green light from China’s MIIT and a surprise second model, the N90 MAX.

Summary

  • Codename “Kunlun,” cross-shaped headlights: The N90’s distinctive front fascia features a cross-shaped headlight design with a sealed grille and embedded SkyNomad branding.
  • Interior transforms into a studio, café, or reception room: Xiaomi’s “variable large space” concept allows the cabin to be reconfigured for work, meetings, or leisure on the go.
  • 5-seat and 7-seat versions confirmed: Both configurations will be offered, targeting families and business users equally.
  • Standard LiDAR included: Laser radar sensors come fitted as standard — not an optional upgrade — enabling advanced driver assistance and environmental awareness.
  • MIIT approval granted: Both SkyNomad plug-in hybrid SUV models received China market regulatory approval on July 10, clearing the path to sale.
  • SkyNomad is NOT a Xiaomi sub-brand: Xiaomi clarified on the same day that SkyNomad is a separate independent series, not a sub-brand of Xiaomi Auto.

The Interior Is the Real Story

Xiaomi is describing the N90 as a “smart variable large-space SUV” — and the interior concept is what separates it from most family EVs. The cabin can be reconfigured into a studio for content creation, a mobile café, or a reception room for business meetings. That flexibility goes well beyond fold-flat seats. It implies a modular interior architecture with adjustable lighting, power outlets, screens, and seating orientations built around the idea that the vehicle is a living space as much as a transport tool.

The HyperOS integration runs through all of it. Xiaomi’s operating system serves as the connectivity backbone — linking the vehicle to Xiaomi smartphones, smart home devices, and cloud services. That ecosystem play is what genuinely distinguishes this from a standard Chinese EV with a big screen on the dashboard.

N90 MAX Also Unveiled

The same day, Xiaomi unveiled the N90 MAX alongside the standard N90. It features a wheelbase exceeding 3 meters — larger than the N90’s already generous 3.1m figure — with a distinct interior layout designed for maximum rear passenger space. Full specs for the MAX have not been confirmed yet.

Not a Sub-Brand — A Clarification That Matters

Xiaomi specifically stated that SkyNomad is not a sub-brand of Xiaomi Auto. The distinction is similar to how Redmi operates separately from Xiaomi’s main smartphone line — sharing parent company resources but operating with its own identity and market positioning. This matters for pricing expectations: SkyNomad may be positioned differently from Xiaomi’s core SU7 and YU7 lineup, potentially targeting a more value-oriented family buyer rather than the performance-focused audience those vehicles attract.
