Xiaomi Skynomad N90 Max: Inside the Off-Road Motorhome With 1,700 km of Range

Rotating seats, a heated fridge, a pop-up roof tent, 1,705 km of range, and 6.6 kW of external power — Xiaomi’s Skynomad N90 Max blurs the line between SUV, camper, and weekend house.

Xiaomi no longer makes only smartphones and ordinary crossovers. The Skynomad N90 Max is an attempt to rethink the family car itself. It has seats that rotate 180 degrees, a built-in fridge with heating, a pull-out laptop table, and even a pop-up roof tent. Range is 1,705 km, it can supply up to 6.6 kW to external devices, and it can ford water 750 mm deep. This is no longer just transport but a mobile base for travel that erases the line between car, camper, and country house.

Why It Needs 5.3 Meters and 7 Seats

The N90 Max is genuinely huge. Length is 5,285 mm, wheelbase 3,080 mm, and the cabin seats seven in a 2+2+3 layout. But the size is not only for show: the main bet is on interior space.

The second row has ample legroom, and the third row is reachable through a passage between the seats without folding them. Even with seven passengers aboard, 577 liters of cargo space remain. Fold the seats and use the vehicle for hauling gear, and volume grows to 1,831 liters.

But Xiaomi clearly designed the cabin with the idea that passengers would spend time here not only while moving.

The front seats can be ordered with power rotation. Parked, they turn 180 degrees to face the second row. A pull-out table measuring 600×420 mm fits between them. It holds a laptop up to 16 inches and is meant for work, meals, or an ordinary conversation over coffee.

Instead of a familiar cabin where everyone faces forward, you get a small living room. For a family car that is a fairly radical change of scenario.

Turn the Car Into a Full Bedroom

The N90 Max also has a more practical way to use the space. The third row folds, the second row slides forward, and with the branded mattress inside you get a flat sleeping area for two. Curtains are provided to block outside light from the cabin.

In this case the large body works as more than a passenger cabin. You can sleep in it, wait out rain, work, or simply spend several hours at a stop.

Xiaomi also installed a 9-liter fridge in the cabin. It can cool food and drinks to −6 °C and heat contents to +50 °C. For a vehicle built for long trips, that looks far more practical than many decorative electronic features.

First- and second-row seats can get ventilation, heating, and 16-point massage. Up to four seats offer a “zero gravity” mode. A separate multimedia zone is provided for passengers, and the audio system includes 25 speakers and a subwoofer.

And a Second Floor Appears on the Roof

The most unusual version is called Explorer Edition. It has an electric pop-up camping module on the roof. In normal form it barely changes the silhouette; at a stop it rises and becomes extra sleeping space.

Here the Skynomad idea opens fully. The N90 Max can already become a bedroom, and the Explorer Edition adds another level of space to the vehicle.

The regular N90 Max can be used for camping too. The cabin works for overnight stays, and extra outdoor gear lets you organize space beside the vehicle. A separate motorhome is not always necessary for a trip.

Gasoline Is Not There to Turn the Wheels

Structurally, the N90 Max is more interesting than a typical hybrid. Under the hood sits a 1.5-liter turbo gasoline engine, but it does not drive the wheels directly. It is a range-extender generator that produces energy for the traction battery and electric motors.

Two electric motors do most of the work, providing all-wheel drive. Combined peak output is 310 kW, or about 422 hp. Zero to 100 km/h takes 5.9 seconds; top speed is 190 km/h.

On the road the vehicle behaves more like an EV, but a long trip does not require constant hunting for charging stations.

The traction battery has a capacity of 76 kWh. On electric drive alone the N90 Max can travel up to 464 km on the CLTC cycle, and total range with the gasoline generator reaches 1,705 km. A 15-minute fast charge can add up to 285 km of range on the same cycle.

Fuel consumption with a depleted battery is claimed at 6.26 L per 100 km on the WLTC cycle.

There is another interesting feature. The N90 Max can supply up to 6.6 kW to external devices, and the cabin has a 220 V outlet. At a stop, the large battery can power household and camping equipment, not only movement.

A Big Crossover That Has Not Forgotten Bad Roads

Despite the living-room-and-bedroom story, the N90 Max does not look like a vehicle invented only for parking at a campsite.

It has air suspension and adaptive dampers, double-wishbone front suspension, and a multi-link rear setup. There is all-wheel drive and several chassis modes.

Claimed wading depth is 750 mm. The range-extender air intake sits 1,109 mm above the road, and the battery is protected to IPX8 and IPX9K.

That does not turn the N90 Max into a dedicated off-roader, but it shows the vehicle is meant for more than smooth asphalt between cities.

At its size the machine is also supposed to be relatively easy to maneuver: turning radius is 5.95 m. Braking distance from 100 km/h to a full stop is claimed at 38.57 m.

Plenty of Xiaomi Here, Not Just Plenty of Car

If the interior feels like a mix of living room and campsite, the electronics fully match the brand’s origin.

The N90 Max uses the NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Thor compute platform with up to 700 TOPS of performance. Driver-assistance systems run on Xiaomi HAD with its own XLA cognitive model. Sensors include a roof-mounted lidar, a rear solid-state lidar, a 4D millimeter-wave radar, 11 high-resolution cameras, and 12 ultrasonic sensors.

HyperOS runs in the cabin, with several screens and a separate multimedia system for rear passengers. The 25-speaker audio system delivers peak power up to 4,890 W.

For a vehicle this large, such an electronics package is almost a separate layer of engineering. But it does not change the N90 Max’s main idea: the car should be comfortable not only in motion.

And How Much It All Costs

In Russia the Xiaomi Skynomad N90 Max is currently offered from 8.9 million rubles. The model’s Russian page separately warns that the listed price is informational and may differ from actual dealer prices.

For that money the buyer gets a 5.285-meter vehicle with seven seats, dual-motor all-wheel drive, and a hybrid powertrain that allows a claimed total range of up to 1,705 km on CLTC.

But the numbers are perhaps not the most interesting part.

Large family vehicles have evolved along roughly one script for decades: more space, more trunk, more comfort. Xiaomi went another way. It took an enormous body and started thinking not only about how to move a family, but about what the family would do inside the car after stopping.

Hence the rotating seats, table, fridge, sleeping area, 220 V outlet, and finally the version with a pop-up camping module on the roof.

So the Skynomad N90 Max is more interesting to view not as yet another large Chinese crossover, but as an attempt to make the car part of the journey itself — not merely a way to reach the destination.
