Xiaomi’s SkyNomad N70 is now on sale in China, starting at the equivalent of 26,900 euros. At nearly five meters long, the SUV could challenge established European brands on price if it reaches Spain. Xiaomi has not announced a European launch.
The size stands out immediately. The SkyNomad N70 is 4.96 meters long and 2 meters wide, putting it in the same league as the Audi Q7. It seats five, yet its footprint matches some of the largest premium SUVs. In China, the N70 Pro starts at 209,900 yuan and comes with a 210 kW (281 hp) front electric motor. The N70 Max adds a second motor and all-wheel lead, lifting output to 310 kW (416 hp). It costs 239,900 yuan, or about 31,000 euros at today’s rates.
CarNewsChina reports that Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun personally handed over the first SkyNomad keys to customers in September 2026. The handover marked the official start of deliveries in China.
The Chinese price is only a starting point for Spanish buyers. Xiaomi has not said if or when the SkyNomad N70 will come to Spain, and there is no official European price. Estimates put the Spanish price between 43,000 and 46,000 euros after taxes, homologation, shipping, tariffs and dealer margins. That could put a large, high-tech SUV within reach of buyers who currently get much less car for the same money.
Under the hood, the N70 has a 1.5-liter turbo petrol engine that does not lead the wheels. Instead, it recharges the battery as a generator when needed. The N70 Pro has a 52 kWh LFP battery, with an electric range of up to 351 kilometers on China’s CLTC cycle. The N70 Max gets a 76 kWh battery and claims up to 505 kilometers CLTC. Drivers can use electric power for daily trips, while the petrol engine kicks in on longer journeys. That reduces the need for charging stops on the road.
The N70 is built on a range-extender (EREV) platform, not as a pure electric vehicle; its 1.5-liter turbo engine functions only as a battery generator. Reports from promobil and EV/electric-vehicles.com describe the N70 as a direct competitor to traditional hybrids and full EVs in the large SUV segment.
For buyers needing more space, Xiaomi also offers the SkyNomad N90. It is 5.28 meters long and seats up to seven. The interior can be set up for lounging or work, and can also serve as a sleeping area. The N90 Max claims a combined range of up to 1,705 kilometers CLTC using both the battery and petrol generator.
The N70’s appeal rests on more than size and power: Xiaomi is also targeting established brands on price. If the company brings even part of its Chinese pricing to Europe, the SUV could prompt rivals to rethink their strategies. A five-meter vehicle with up to 416 hp and hundreds of kilometers of electric range for around 45,000 euros would challenge current market leaders.
The move follows a pattern set by other Chinese brands. When Geely’s Starray EM-i arrived in Spain, it offered similar value, as reported earlier. Chinese brands are competing on price while targeting the heart of the European market with technology and scale.
Xiaomi still has not confirmed a European launch for the SkyNomad N70. If the estimates hold, Spanish buyers could have a full-size, tech-packed SUV at a price below that of much smaller rivals. Luxury no longer has a monopoly on size, range or technology, and pricing power may be shifting east.
