Bengaluru, July 9, 2026:  Xiaomi EV today announced Xiaomi SkyNomad, the second product series under Xiaomi EV brand. Xiaomi SU7 and Xiaomi YU7 Series are positioned as “the driver’s car”; SkyNomad Series is positioned as an “intelligent, reconfigurable, large-space SUV”. Together, the two series represent two distinct answers to different user needs, delivered in more than five years of Xiaomi building cars. Where Xiaomi SU7 and Xiaomi YU7 Series focus on the driver, SkyNomad Series focuses on the people inside, designing the cabin as a living space that adapts across the hours of a day.The launch marks another step in Xiaomi EV’s portfolio expansion.

Why SkyNomad

China’s auto industry has advanced rapidly in recent years. Large six- and seven-seat layouts and feature-rich interiors are now common, and the market is not short on space or supply. Buyer priorities, however, are shifting: increasingly, the deciding factor is not whether a cabin is large or the seats are soft, but whether occupants feel genuinely at ease inside it.

This shift reflects how people actually use their cars: commuting up to two hours a day, resting in the driver’s seat, working from a parked car, taking the family on a weekend trip, or using the vehicle as a second home while camping. For these owners, a car functions not only as a vehicle but as an extension of your living space, on the move .

That principle, designing a car built around how people actually feel inside it, was the starting point for SkyNomad’s development in early 2023.

A Cabin That Adapts, Not Just Expands

SkyNomad is built on Xiaomi’s all-new Kunlun Architecture, developed from early 2023 specifically to enable reconfigurable interior space. In an SUV body, a flat floor and long-track seating system allow the cabin to switch between driving mode, accommodating passengers, luggage, and pets with generous room, and parked modes that transform into a workspace, a lounge, or a family activity space. Delivering this required the integration of AI, Xiaomi’s smart-device ecosystem, and smart manufacturing capabilities — three areas where Lei Jun has noted that Xiaomi holds a rare combination of depth.

“Our answer was to let intelligence define the space, to build a living interior that moves with you,” Lei Jun, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Xiaomi, wrote in a post on Weibo describing SkyNomad’s development.

Who SkyNomad Is Built For

SkyNomad targets buyers who need one vehicle to cover daily commuting, family travel, and occasional work-from-car use, not a lifestyle statement, but a flexible tool that adapts across roles. The series is designed for professionals and parents alike, not as separate categories, but as the same person across different hours of the day.

Xiaomi SkyNomad Series will soon launch in Chinese mainland, the result of three and a half years of development. Stay tuned for more news.
