November 11 2026 – Xiaomi’s campus lit up with “N70” in lights after its new extended-range SUV series delivered a strong first full month of sales, founder Lei Jun said on social media. The celebration followed a quieter office-party moment: Xiaomi’s canteen prepared tiramisu cakes to mark the Pengcheng lineup’s October performance.
According to Dongchedi’s monthly retail data, the Pengcheng series delivered 27,132 vehicles in October, with the N70 accounting for 14,545 units and the N90 for 12,587. The N70 ranked first among extended-range vehicles and first in the mid-to-large SUV segment, while the N90 topped the large SUV category and placed second among extended-range models. October was the series’ first full delivery month; initial customer deliveries began on September 12.
The result lifted Xiaomi’s overall auto business past the 50,000-unit mark for the first time. In the October retail ranking of new-energy vehicles priced above 200,000 yuan, the Pengcheng N70, SU7 and Pengcheng N90 took the top three positions, with the YU7 finishing eighth.
Pengcheng is Xiaomi’s move into extended-range powertrains after entering the market with pure-electric models. Both SUVs use a 1.5-liter four-cylinder Kunlun range extender and a dual-motor four-wheel-drive system. The N70 starts at 209,900 yuan as a five-seat mid-to-large SUV, while the N90 starts at 269,900 yuan as a large seven-seat SUV, with a top version priced at 299,900 yuan.
The timing matters because China’s passenger-car market remains under pressure. In October, total retail sales fell 27.1 percent year on year, but the extended-range segment grew, with wholesale volume rising 19.9 percent year on year and 31.3 percent month on month. Xiaomi’s early traction shows that the extended-range route is gaining fresh momentum, though maintaining delivery stability and product competitiveness will be the next test.
