Xiaomi’s N90 teasers reveal a full-size SUV with many of the firm’s design quirks. The headlights are a blocky evolution of the YU7’s “waterdrop” units, and the looped-lightbar taillights resemble those on the Zeekr 9X.

The N90’s side profile departs from the SU7 and YU7’s swoopy styling. In its teaser, Xiaomi called them “driver’s cars” and labelled the N90 an “intelligent expanding-space SUV.” Its cabin-focused design gives it a shape similar to rivals like the Li Auto L9 and NIO ES8.
InteriorXiaomi hasn’t released pictures of the interior, instead posting schematics of the cabin, akin to an apartment’s floor plan. It stresses that the N90 will feature a highly flexible layout with sliding & rotating seats, combining an “SUV shape with an MPV cabin”.

Leaked images of the N90’s interior confirm its MPV-style approach, too. The spy shots show a front row with a walk-through centre console, allowing occupants to move from side to side. Xiaomi’s teasers also hint that the console itself may be movable.

Xiaomi has emphasised the Sky Nomad N90’s focus on in-cabin life, and its previously spotted built-in roof tent underscores its outdoor focus. The SUV will likely feature a fold-flat interior and high-power AC outlets, as the EcoFlow power stations in the second row suggest.

The Sky Nomad N90 will become Xiaomi’s largest vehicle to date, with an expected length of 5.3 m and a wheelbase of 3.1 m. Its flexible interior also hints at two potential layouts, a 2+3 five-seater and a 2+3+2 seven-seater.
As for its powertrain, the N90 will feature a 1.5-litre turbocharged range extender in the front. It’s expected to offer dual-motor AWD, in line with its outdoor theme. A 70+ kWh pack from Sunwoda and CALB will provide 400-500 km of EV range, with total range exceeding 1,500 km.
Xiaomi’s teasers also show the N90’s roof-mounted LiDAR, hinting at advanced assisted driving capabilities. The firm is expected to release more information ahead of the Sky Nomad N90’s official full reveal.
