Xiaomi’s new family SUV is basically a house on wheels with enough claimed range to cover more than 1,000 miles. It also costs considerably less than its outlandish feature list might suggest. The company has officially launched the SkyNomad N90 Max in China for 299,900 yuan, equivalent to roughly $44,400 through direct conversion.

Preorders are open now, with the first vehicles expected to reach customers in September. The converted figure provides useful context, though it does not represent pricing outside China. Xiaomi describes the seven-seat flagship as a “house you can move.” This unusually grand pitch starts making sense once you see what happens inside.

Xiaomi gave its SUV several different rooms

The N90 Max’s front seats can rotate 180 degrees to face the second row. Its center armrest slides outward to become a table, while the second row offers zero-gravity seats with extendable footrests. Selected versions also add a refrigerator and overhead speakers.

Xiaomi says the reconfigurable cabin can operate as a personal studio, two-person café, three-person lounge, or family play area while parked. This just about covers any kind of comfort you might miss during a long journey. The underlying Kunlun architecture uses a flat floor and extended seat rails to make those transformations possible.

The N90 Max Camping Edition is even more absurd. It includes a pop-up roof with an elevated sleeping platform, an attachment point for a side tent, additional storage, and a detachable table. An in-car projector is also available, effectively turning the SUV into a small mobile campsite.

Its range numbers remain equally bonkers

A 76kWh battery powers the N90 Max’s electric motors, while a 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine works as an onboard generator. Combined with a 60-liter fuel tank, Xiaomi claims the system can cover up to 1,705km, or approximately 1,059 miles, under China’s testing cycle.

The larger battery can provide up to 505km of electric-only range under the CLTC standard. Dual-motor versions produce a combined 310kW, equivalent to roughly 416 horsepower. Xiaomi also revealed the smaller five-seat SkyNomad N70 and N70 Max, but complete pricing for those models remains unavailable. SkyNomad currently remains a China-focused series. Xiaomi plans to begin selling vehicles in Europe during 2027, but it has yet to confirm whether this enormous house on wheels will make the journey.

BYD Seal 06 Budget EV at a Charging station

China's affordable EV market is getting ridiculously good in terms of value. Barely a day after Volkswagen opened preorders for its $17,175 ID. Era 5S plug-in hybrid, BYD has launched the 2027 Seal 06 with prices starting even lower.

The DM-i plug-in hybrid begins at 99,900 yuan, or around $14,700, while the fully electric Seal 06 starts at 109,900 yuan, roughly $16,100. In comparison, America’s cheapest EV, the 2027 Chevrolet Bolt, starts at $28,995. That makes the Bolt almost $13,000 more expensive than the entry-level Seal 06 EV.

Volkswagen's latest hybrid car is impressive on paper, but the real shocker is its price tag. SAIC Volkswagen has opened preorders for the ID. Era 5S in China with a limited-time starting price of 115,900 yuan, or roughly $17,175. Its regular Pure trim costs around $17,770, while even the range-topping Max comes in at just $22,215.

To put that into perspective, Chevrolet lists the 2027 Bolt at an MSRP of $28,995, making it America’s cheapest EV. Nissan’s 2026 Leaf starts at $29,990 before destination charges. So the cheapest Bolt is around $11,820 above Volkswagen’s introductory ID. Era 5S price.
