Xiaomi unveils Sky Nomad, a boxy SUV series to chase China’s family-car money
Xiaomi has opened a second front in its rapid march into carmaking, confirming on Thursday a new SUV series called Sky Nomad and offering the first proper look at the boxy family hauler that will lead it.
The move pushes the smartphone maker squarely into China’s most lucrative vehicle segment, and away from the sports-saloon image built by its SU7 and YU7 models.
The company’s electric vehicle unit described Sky Nomad as its second product line after the SU7/YU7 range, casting it as an “intelligent, transformable large-space SUV”. In China the series will trade under the name Xiaomi Pengcheng, according to the company.
Founder and chief executive Lei Jun drew a firm line between the two families, calling the SU7 and YU7 a “driver’s car” while framing Sky Nomad as a mobile living space.
