Robotic lawn care moved from niche to necessity this week as Navimow revealed its 2026 fleet, earning CNET’s Editor’s Choice nod for the flagship X390.
Wire-Free Mapping Takes Center Stage
Older bots demanded buried boundary cables; Navimow’s 2026 range skips that chore. Network RTK, solid-state LiDAR and real-scene mapping build yard maps inside the app, letting owners draw or tweak zones on a phone. Setup is promised in minutes, not hours.
George Ren, Navimow CEO, framed the goal:
> “Innovation isn’t just about adding new features; it’s about simplifying life through technology that works seamlessly in the background.”
Residential Models: i2 and X4 Series
Small-lawn lineup:
- i2 AWD – $999, ¼ acre, 58 dB, tri-frequency RTK, 30% longer range via third wheel
- i2 LiDAR – 3D scanner reading 200,000 points/sec, clears paths only 1 cm wider than the bot
Large-yard flagship:
- X430 – $2,499, up to 1 acre
- X450 – $2,999, up to 1.5 acres
- Both climb 40° slopes, recharge quickly, and cut a 43 cm swath; one acre takes roughly 14 hrs
Dual 180 W motors plus turf-safe Xero Turn drive steer like zero-turn mowers without ripping grass.
Commercial Fleet: Terranox Series
For golf courses or schools, the Terranox line covers up to six acres per unit. Four-wheel drive, independent steering and EFLS 3.0™ navigation fuse RTK, VSLAM and visual-inertial odometry for fleet control across massive properties. VisionFence gives 360° obstacle detection; operators monitor units remotely.
