Xiaomi has entered the extended-range electric vehicle segment with the SkyNomad N90, a large three-row SUV that doubles as flexible living space. The model launches under a fresh Sky Nomad sub-brand and gives buyers a boxy, upright shape built on the new Kunlun architecture. Reservations opened in early July with a planned launch by the end of the third quarter.
Xiaomi sent its new YU7 GT around the Nordschleife and walked away with a lap time of 7 minutes 34.931 seconds. That run beat the Audi RS Q8 Performance by almost two seconds and left the Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT Coupé behind as well.

We know the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra is currently the fastest electric sedan, but one owner pushed the EV a little too hard at the track, and a crash promptly ensued. It comes straight from the factory with beginner mode activated, which limits performance to more manageable levels, and owners need to take a special training course and pass an exam before the higher levels are unlocked.
The Xiaomi YU7 is set to be the company’s first electric SUV when it launches in the coming months, with pricing starting at just under $35,000 USD. How does it stack up against the refreshed Tesla Model Y? Well, the latter measures 188.8 inches, while the YU7 is 196.8 inches in length.
Called the Xiaomi Mijia Glasses Camera, this pair of AR smartglasses gives off Google Glass vibes. Featuring Sony MicroOLED displays with a 3,281 ppi resolution and maximum brightness of 3,000 nits, an octa-core Qualcomm processor, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity as well as a 1020mAh battery that can be charged to 80% in just 30-minutes.
