Emir BardakçıNewly surfaced spy photos have revealed Xiaomi’s third vehicle, the “Kunlun N3,” mid-testing outside its Beijing plant. Camouflaged but clearly positioned as a premium SUV, this model marks Xiaomi’s first foray into the luxury extended-range hybrid segment—a direct move to capture market share among family buyers who value advanced tech, efficiency, and space.
The Kunlun N3 isn’t a standalone move. It’s a calculated addition, building on the momentum of the SU7 coupe and the upcoming YU7 sports SUV. With these three, Xiaomi is rapidly assembling a well-rounded automotive lineup aimed at multiple consumer segments, all backed by the company’s reputation for tech integration and smart design.
Product Highlights and Market Positioning
With the N3, Xiaomi is targeting a clear gap in its portfolio: the family-oriented, medium-to-large premium SUV. The vehicle’s main features include:
- Three-row seating, available in both 6- and 7-seat configurations
- An extended-range hybrid powertrain, focusing on both performance and efficiency
- Spacious, family-friendly design
- Positioned squarely in the medium-to-large SUV market
Development Progress and Roadmap
Recent spy shots show the N3 at Xiaomi’s supercharging station in Beijing, indicating that the prototype is deep into integration testing—particularly for charging infrastructure compatibility. This suggests that Xiaomi is progressing according to schedule for a 2025 launch and is prioritizing a seamless user experience.
Platform and Size Strategy
Industry analysts speculate the Kunlun platform may support several size variants, mirroring strategies used by established luxury brands. The largest model currently under testing measures about 5.3 meters, positioning it to compete directly with leading high-end SUVs.
Broader Automotive Strategy
The Kunlun N3 is the final component in Xiaomi’s initial three-vehicle rollout, joining the SU7 coupe (“Modena”) and YU7 sports SUV (“Le Mans”). With this lineup, Xiaomi is strategically addressing a wide spectrum of consumer needs while ensuring brand consistency and advanced technology across all models.
