Xiaomi has introduced a new 20-inch carry-on to its travel accessories lineup: the Mijia Metal Suitcase. The luggage is currently available through a crowdfunding campaign on the Xiaomi Youpin platform for 1,699 yuan (roughly $255) and is scheduled to begin shipping on October 29, 2026.
Mijia Metal Suitcase Specifications
The exterior of the suitcase is built using a combination of aluminum alloys. The main shell is made from a 5000-series aluminum-magnesium alloy, while the internal frame uses a 6000-series aluminum-magnesium-silicon blend for structural support. Instead of using standard visible fasteners, Xiaomi opted for a rivet-free construction method.
The company says this process involves 150 manufacturing steps to create a flat, uniform exterior while maintaining the metal’s structural integrity. The corners are reinforced with zinc alloy to absorb standard impacts during transit, and the exterior features the horizontal stripe pattern seen on previous Mijia luggage models. It is available in two colors: Light Silver and Titanium.
The suitcase features HINOMOTO multidirectional wheels with precision metal bearings, TPE rubber coating, and a 6mm shock-absorption system for smoother movement. The wheels are SGS-certified for noise levels below 43dB and can travel up to 72km with less than 2mm of tread wear, according to Xiaomi’s testing.
The telescopic handle is also made from 6000-series aluminum and offers four height adjustments. It includes a microfiber synthetic leather grip, and Xiaomi says the handle mechanism has been tested to withstand 18,000 extension and retraction cycles.
Inside, the suitcase offers 37 liters of storage, enough for a three- to five-day trip. It features dual compartments with U-shaped zippers, two accessory pockets, and an antibacterial peach-skin velvet lining that claims to inhibit 99% of common bacteria.
It also comes with a one-touch TSA-approved combination lock that opens both clasps simultaneously, along with slow-rebound carrying handles and electroplated hinges.
In related news, Xiaomi has recently launched its lightest Mijia backpack yet, featuring a foldable design and water-resistant construction.
