The Segway Navimow range comprises 18 models spread across five series, from 500 to 10 000 m² and from 799 to 4 999 €. For a small garden without perimeter wire, the Navimow i105E at 799 € is sufficient. For the best all-round compromise, the i210 LiDAR Pro at 1 399 € combines RTK and LiDAR without a remote station. For very large areas, the X450 RTK covers 5 000 m² and the flagship X330 adds AI vision. The right choice depends first on the surface area, then on the navigation technology.

Understanding the Navimow range: five series, one logic

Segway structures its Navimow range according to a clear logic once the key is known: the number following the series letter roughly indicates the target surface area. An i105 targets 500 to 600 m², an i220 targets 2 000 m², an X450 targets 5 000 m². Here is how the five series are divided.

Série i1 (i105E, i108E). This is the entry-level pure RTK GPS range. It covers 600 to 960 m², produces 54 dB of noise and sits between 799 and 999 €. No LiDAR, no camera: positioning relies entirely on the centimetre-accurate satellite signal. It is the most affordable and quietest series in the range.

Série i2 (i205 AWD, i208 LiDAR, i208 AWD, i215 LiDAR, i220 LiDAR, i210 LiDAR Pro, i220 LiDAR Pro). This is the core range, from 500 to 2 000 m² and from 799 to 1 799 €. It includes three sub-families: pure LiDAR versions (i208, i215, i220 LiDAR), four-wheel-drive AWD versions (i205, i208 AWD) and hybrid RTK + LiDAR Pro versions (i210, i220 LiDAR Pro). The maximum slope varies by version: 27 % for pure LiDAR models, 45 % for AWD and Pro models.

Série H (H800, H1500, H3000). This series uses hybrid RTK + Vision navigation without perimeter wire. It covers 800 to 3 000 m² for a budget of 1 649 to 2 699 €. It occupies an intermediate segment between the i2 Pro series and the X3 flagships, with a focus on medium to large family gardens.

Série X3 (X315, X330, X350, X390). These are the brand's AI vision flagships. Cutting width rises to 22 cm, covered surface ranges from 1 500 to 10 000 m² and price extends from 2 499 to 4 999 €. Hybrid RTK + AI Vision navigation enables dynamic obstacle detection. The maximum slope reaches 45 % across the entire series.

Série X4 (X420, X450). This returns to pure RTK GPS but on very large surfaces: 2 000 to 5 000 m² for 2 499 to 3 199 €. Without onboard vision, it is simpler to configure and less expensive than equivalent-surface X3 models. It suits open terrain where the satellite signal is not obstructed by dense tree cover.

For more on the positioning principles used by these five series, our complete guide to robotic mower navigation systems details the differences between RTK, LiDAR and AI vision.


The three Navimow navigation technologies

All Navimow models share one common point: none requires a buried perimeter wire. The difference between series lies in the robustness of positioning according to the environment and the maximum slope.

Pure RTK GPS (i1 and X4 series)

RTK (Real Time Kinematic) uses a GNSS signal corrected in real time by a fixed reference station installed in the garden. Accuracy reaches a few centimetres, enabling regular mowing patterns and tight parallel passes. It is the least expensive technology to implement, which explains the entry-level pricing of the i1 and X4 series.

Its main limitation: under dense tree cover or near high walls, the satellite signal can degrade, leading to positioning inaccuracies. The models concerned are the i105E, i108E, X420 and X450. For a largely open garden, this technology is fully sufficient.

LiDAR vision (part of the i2 series)

The i208 LiDAR, i215 LiDAR and i220 LiDAR models carry a LiDAR sensor that maps the environment without a remote RTK station. This approach performs better under partial cover because it does not depend exclusively on the satellite signal.

The trade-off is a maximum slope limited to 27 %, versus 45 % for RTK or hybrid models. This ceiling must be checked carefully before purchase if the garden has marked elevation changes.

Hybrid RTK + LiDAR or RTK + Vision (i2 Pro, H and X3 series)

Hybrid models fuse full-sun RTK with a LiDAR sensor or vision camera for shaded areas. This combination offers the best positioning robustness regardless of garden layout. The maximum slope rises to 45 % on all these models.

The models concerned are the i205 AWD, i208 AWD, i210 LiDAR Pro, i220 LiDAR Pro, H800, H1500, H3000, X315, X330, X350 and X390. This is the most versatile family in the range, and the one we recommend as soon as the garden includes trees, hedges or prolonged shade.


Our selection by garden profile

Segway i105E: best entry-level option for small gardens (799 €, 8.3/10)

The Navimow i105E is the entry point to Segway's wire-free range. It targets gardens up to 600 m² where the satellite signal is not obstructed by dense vegetation.

Key figures:

  • Rated surface: 600 m²
  • Max slope: 45 %
  • Navigation: RTK GNSS
  • Cutting width: 18 cm
  • Cycle runtime: 60 min (64 Wh)
  • Noise: 54 dB
  • Water resistance: IPX6
  • Multi-zones: 3
  • Year: 2024

Why this choice: at 799 €, the i105E is the cheapest wire-free robot in the Navimow range while retaining centimetre-accurate RTK GPS positioning. Its 54 dB makes it one of the quietest machines on the market at this price, which matters for neighbouring gardens. IPX6 water resistance guarantees operation in rain without restriction. With three configurable zones, it handles simple-geometry gardens without difficulty. In the range, it sits as the most accessible entry point before moving up to the i108E.

Watch points: the 60-minute cycle is short for a 600 m² surface if mowing is frequent. The model lacks AI vision and dynamic obstacle detection, so the garden must be cleared before each session or occasional stops on obstacles accepted.

Ideal for: owners of a 400 to 600 m² open garden without many trees, seeking to move to wire-free for under 800 €.

Segway i108E: best value RTK (999 €, 8.4/10)

The Navimow i108E is the extended version of the i105E: same RTK technology, same noise level, but coverage increased to 960 m² and runtime of 90 minutes.

Key figures:

  • Rated surface: 960 m²
  • Max slope: 45 %
  • Navigation: RTK GNSS
  • Cutting width: 18 cm
  • Cycle runtime: 90 min (64 Wh)
  • Noise: 54 dB
  • Water resistance: IPX6
  • Multi-zones: 4
  • Year: 2024

Why this choice: for 200 € more than the i105E, the i108E gains 360 m² of coverage, 30 extra minutes of runtime and one additional mowing zone (4 zones versus 3). This improvement-per-euro ratio is the best in the i1 series. At 54 dB it remains as quiet as its smaller sibling. For a standard 700 to 900 m² open garden, this is the model we recommend first before considering the i2 series.

Watch points: like the i105E, the i108E lacks AI vision. Undetected obstacles (toys, tools left on the lawn) can cause stops. Pure RTK navigation can also lose accuracy under dense canopy.

Ideal for: a 700 to 960 m² well-exposed garden with few fixed obstacles, where the budget stays under 1 000 €.

Segway i210 LiDAR Pro: best all-round compromise (1 399 €, 8.7/10)

The Navimow i210 LiDAR Pro is the first model in the range to combine RTK and LiDAR in a hybrid architecture. It also adds 4G anti-theft connectivity, absent from the i1 series.

Key figures:

  • Rated surface: 1 000 m²
  • Max slope: 45 %
  • Navigation: hybrid RTK + vision
  • Cutting width: 18 cm
  • Cycle runtime: 110 min (158 Wh)
  • Noise: 54 dB
  • Water resistance: IPX6
  • Multi-zones: 5
  • Year: 2025

Why this choice: the i210 LiDAR Pro marks a clear quality step up from the i1 series. The 158 Wh battery (versus 64 Wh on the i105E and i108E) extends runtime to 110 minutes, reducing the frequency of returns to base. Hybrid RTK + LiDAR navigation maintains accurate positioning even under trees or beside hedges. Integrated 4G anti-theft is a concrete advantage for lightly supervised gardens or second homes. With 5 configurable zones, it handles complex-geometry gardens.

Watch points: the i210 LiDAR Pro is not compatible with Apple HomeKit. Users integrated into an Apple smart-home ecosystem should verify this before purchase. The 1 000 m² coverage remains at the lower end of the i2 Pro series average.

Ideal for: a 700 to 1 000 m² garden containing trees or shaded areas, with a budget around 1 400 €.

Segway X330: AI vision flagship for large surfaces (2 999 €, 8.9/10)

The Navimow X330 is the entry model in the X3 series, the flagships of the range. It covers 3 000 m² with hybrid RTK + AI Vision navigation and cutting width increased to 22 cm.

Key figures:

  • Rated surface: 3 000 m²
  • Max slope: 45 %
  • Navigation: hybrid RTK + vision
  • Cutting width: 22 cm
  • Cycle runtime: 180 min (360 Wh)
  • Noise: 58 dB
  • Water resistance: IPX6
  • Multi-zones: 8
  • Year: 2025

Why this choice: the X330 represents the most significant capability leap in the range. The 22 cm cutting width (versus 18 cm across the entire i series) reduces the number of passes needed on large surfaces. The 360 Wh battery delivers 180 minutes of runtime per cycle, enabling 3 000 m² coverage in a limited number of sessions. AI vision detects dynamic obstacles (animals, toys) without human intervention. With 8 configurable zones, it handles the most complex gardens in the range.

Watch points: the X330 weighs 15 kg, complicating handling during installation or winter storage. At 58 dB it is slightly louder than the i1 and i2 series, although the level remains acceptable for residential use.

Ideal for: owners of a 2 000 to 3 000 m² garden with varied obstacles, trees and shaded areas, with a budget of 3 000 €.

Segway X450: pure RTK for very large surfaces (3 199 €, 8.8/10)

The Navimow X450 is the most capable model in our selection in terms of surface area: 5 000 m² with pure RTK GPS navigation and 240 minutes of runtime per cycle.

Key figures:

  • Rated surface: 5 000 m²
  • Max slope: 45 %
  • Navigation: RTK GNSS
  • Cutting width: 22 cm
  • Cycle runtime: 240 min (360 Wh)
  • Noise: 58 dB
  • Water resistance: IPX6
  • Multi-zones: 8
  • Year: 2025

Why this choice: the X450 is the rational choice for very large open surfaces. Its 240 minutes of runtime per cycle is the highest in our selection, enabling 5 000 m² coverage with minimal interruptions. The 22 cm cutting width and 45 % maximum slope make it suitable for large undulating terrain. By choosing pure RTK rather than AI vision, Segway keeps the price below that of the X350 while offering the same coverage.

Watch points: the absence of AI vision is the main point to note. On a 5 000 m² plot the probability of encountering dynamic obstacles (animals, tools) is higher than on a small garden. The area must either be cleared before each session or frequent stops accepted.

Ideal for: a large 3 000 to 5 000 m² largely open plot without dense tree cover, where the simplicity of RTK navigation is an advantage.

How to choose your Navimow

Surface area first

The surface stated by the manufacturer is a maximum value under ideal conditions. In practice we recommend applying a margin of 30 to 130 % according to garden complexity: numerous obstacles, narrow zones, irregular shape. A 600 m² garden with several islands and narrow passages justifies choosing a model rated 900 to 1 000 m². Our method for calculating effective surface area is detailed in our complete guide to robotic mower navigation systems.

Technology next

A largely open garden without trees or high hedges does not need hybrid navigation. Pure RTK from the i1 and X4 series is sufficient and costs less. However, as soon as the garden has significant tree cover, prolonged shade or high walls, hybrid navigation (LiDAR Pro, H series or X3 series) is preferable to maintain stable positioning throughout the season.

Slope

The 27 % threshold is the limit not to exceed for the pure LiDAR i208, i215 and i220 models. Beyond this threshold these models are unsuitable and may present risks of slipping or loss of control. For slopes between 27 % and 45 %, turn to the AWD models of the i2 series, the LiDAR Pro models, the H series or the X series. All models in our selection handle 45 %.

Budget

The grid is simple: under 1 000 €, the i1 series (i105E, i108E) covers the needs of small RTK gardens. Between 1 000 and 2 700 €, the i2 and H series offer LiDAR, hybrid and AWD versions for surfaces up to 2 000 m². Beyond 2 500 €, the X3 and X4 series take over for large and very large surfaces, with 22 cm cutting width and long runtimes. Our selection of the best robotic mowers under 1 000 € compares the i1 models with alternatives from other brands in this segment.

4G anti-theft connectivity

4G anti-theft connectivity is present on the i210 LiDAR Pro, i220 LiDAR Pro and the entire X series. It enables robot location in case of theft and remote alerts. For isolated gardens, second homes or properties without permanent supervision, this feature provides concrete security. It is absent from the i1 series and the pure LiDAR versions of the i2 series, which is a point to factor into the purchase decision as soon as the context justifies it.


FAQ

What is the best value Navimow in 2026?

For a standard 700 to 900 m² garden, the Navimow i108E at 999 € (Mowy Lab rating 8.4/10) offers the best balance: centimetre-accurate RTK GPS, 54 dB noise, 90 minutes runtime and IPX6 water resistance. If the garden contains trees or shaded areas, it is better to step up to the i210 LiDAR Pro at 1 399 €, which adds LiDAR navigation and 4G anti-theft connectivity.

What is the difference between the i1, i2, H and X series of Navimow?

The i1 series is the pure RTK entry level, between 799 and 999 €. The i2 series adds LiDAR and hybrid RTK + LiDAR, from 799 to 1 799 €. The H series focuses on hybrid RTK + Vision without wire, from 1 649 to 2 699 €. The X3 and X4 series are the flagships: 22 cm cutting width, surfaces up to 10 000 m², from 2 499 to 4 999 €.

Do Navimow models work without perimeter wire?

Yes, the entire Navimow range is wire-free. RTK models use a satellite reference station, LiDAR and hybrid models add an onboard mapping sensor. Installation reduces to 30 minutes to 2 hours of software calibration, versus 8 to 15 hours to lay buried cable on a traditional robot.

Which Navimow to choose for a sloped garden?

Beyond 27 % slope, the i208, i215 and i220 LiDAR models, capped at 27 %, must be excluded. Models accepting 45 % are the i105E, i108E, i205 AWD, i208 AWD, i210 LiDAR Pro, i220 LiDAR Pro and the entire X series. For steep slopes with uneven terrain, the AWD versions of the i2 series are the most suitable thanks to their four-wheel drive.

Is the Navimow X350 worth its price compared with the X450?

Both models cover 5 000 m². The X450 at 3 199 € is pure RTK GPS, simpler and less expensive. The X350 at 3 799 € adds AI vision for dynamic obstacle detection and carries a 504 Wh battery. If the terrain is open, the X450 is sufficient. If it contains trees, animals or frequent moving obstacles, the X350 justifies the 600 € difference.

Is a subscription required to use a Navimow?

No, no mowing function requires a subscription. The 4G anti-theft connectivity on the i210 LiDAR Pro, i220 LiDAR Pro and X series may include a SIM card whose fees after the offered period vary by country. Basic functions, mapping and app control remain free without condition.
