The Li L9 made its market debut in June 2022, with customer deliveries beginning in late August that year. Its 10,000th unit rolled off the production line at Li Auto's Changzhou manufacturing base the following month. The model has now reached the 300,000-unit delivery milestone less than four years after its first customer handover.
Li Auto said the L9 fleet had accumulated 15.529 billion kilometers of travel since deliveries began, while its in-car voice system had responded to 2.947 billion user requests. Over the same period, 55 over-the-air updates introduced 1,003 new features and delivered 825 user-experience improvements.
Li Auto launched the new-generation L9 in May 2026 with two variants. The Ultra is priced at 459,800 yuan, while the higher-spec Livis carries a price tag of 509,800 yuan.
The new L9 features Li Auto's in-house M100 chip, which delivers 1,280 TOPS of computing power per processor. Built on an automotive-grade 5-nanometer process, the chip achieves computing efficiency of 82% and reduces end-to-end latency in assisted-driving applications by 40%.
The M100 also supports Li Auto's VLA driving model, whose computational workload is ten times that of the previous generation. By combining a 3D ViT perception model with multimodal reasoning, the system is designed to interpret driving intent and anticipate potential road risks.
