Xiaomi has introduced a Studio version of its SkyNomad N90 Max SUV, converting the vehicle into a camper. The main change is a factory-installed electric pop-up roof integrated into the body structure on the production line. When raised, interior height reaches 2294 mm, allowing a person up to 1.80 m tall to stand upright. The upper tier (2110 by 985 mm) serves as a 1946 mm-long sleeping area. An aluminum honeycomb-reinforced frame supports up to 200 kg. The rear seats convert into a bed (1.87 by 1.24 m) in 30 seconds via electric drives. Equipment includes a 9-liter compressor refrigerator, 220 V and 15 V outlets, and an aluminum wood-effect floor with heating up to 38 degrees. The powertrain is EREV: a 1.5-liter gasoline turbo engine acts as a generator, while two electric motors produce a combined 310 kW (421 hp). A 76 kWh battery provides 460 km of pure electric range (CLTC), with total range reaching 1705 km. Fuel consumption with a depleted battery is 6.26 l/100 km.
