Most newsworthy: Xiaomi has applied to register multiple trademarks for “寻天” (SKYNOMAD), signaling a dedicated new sub-brand for its first range-extended (series-hybrid) SUV expected in H2 2026. China’s trademark database shows filings since August 2025 across categories such as office supplies, machinery and leather goods, with some registrations already approved and publicly disclosed.

Xiaomi moving to register SKYNOMAD trademarks and certify in-vehicle hardware signals concrete steps toward an automotive sub-brand and a range-extended SUV, affecting suppliers and software partners. Tech professionals should monitor certification, connectivity, and IP developments that influence integration opportunities and regulatory risk.

Xiaomi's legal department announced it won first-instance judgments in four online defamation cases against self-media accounts—"小白说汽车", "文龙笔记", "盛涵雪", and "高手路太弯"—which had posted insulting and defamatory remarks about Xiaomi's car unit. Courts found the statements violated reputation rights and ordered public apologies and monetary compensation. Xiaomi also reported law enforcement action in a separate incident where a car owner faced deliberate dangerous behavior; police imposed administrative detention after Xiaomi coordinated with local authorities. The company emphasized that the internet is not lawless and urged factual, rational conduct to protect safety and order.
Xiaomi Communications registered a new in-vehicle device (model 26109VP30C) with China’s MIIT on April 24 and received certification on April 30 identifying it as a 5G-capable, dual-SIM car wireless terminal — widely reported as Xiaomi’s next-generation intelligent cockpit. The listing fuels speculation this cockpit will be used in Xiaomi’s upcoming range-extended SUV codenamed “Kunlun N3,” expected to launch under a new sub-brand “Skynomad” (Chinese: 寻天) in H2 2026 without Xiaomi’s main-brand badging. Spotted spy photos suggest the SUV may feature a rising roof for camper-style use. The move signals Xiaomi’s deeper vertical integration of hardware, connectivity and in-car systems as it expands its EV ambitions.

Most newsworthy: Xiaomi has applied to register multiple trademarks for “寻天” (SKYNOMAD), signaling a dedicated new sub-brand for its first range-extended (series-hybrid) SUV expected in H2 2026. China’s trademark database shows filings since August 2025 across categories such as office supplies, machinery and leather goods, with some registrations already approved and publicly disclosed. IT House and earlier reports link the SKYNOMAD name to Xiaomi’s automotive division and suggest the upcoming YU9 full-size SUV will wear the new brand instead of the Xiaomi logo. Spy photos indicate a retractable roof that could enable recreational-vehicle style use. Why it matters: the move formalizes Xiaomi’s auto product branding and supports its strategy to launch differentiated EV/extended-range vehicles under a separate marque.
