Li noted that the supply bottleneck has been resolved and production has resumed. The company is coordinating with partners to recover the lost production volume and has stated that customer delivery schedules remain unaffected. The update came as the 160,000th unit rolled off the production line last week. While Li Auto celebrated this milestone on the 21st of this month, today's statement provides details on the supply issues that occurred behind the scenes.

As a pure-electric SUV, deliveries of the Li i6 began on September 27, 2025, at the Changzhou Smart Manufacturing Base with a starting price of 249,800 CNY. The vehicle measures 4.95 meters in length, 1.93 meters in width, and 1.65 meters in height, with a 3-meter wheelbase and a five-seat layout.
The Li i6 is equipped with a new 5C lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery capable of fast charging and discharging, delivering peak power of over 500 kW and a CLTC range of 720 km. The cabin features a 16.8-inch head-up display and dual 3K screens in the front, along with a large 21.4-inch 3K screen for rear passengers, all integrated with the MindGPT-powered "Li Classmate" AI system. In terms of market performance, the model has consistently exceeded 20,000 units in monthly sales for four consecutive months. Retail data from the first half of 2026 indicates cumulative sales of over 120,000 units, ranking first in its segment—ahead of rivals such as the Xiaomi YU7 and Fangchengbao Titanium 7. Despite the recent production disruption, the automaker remains confident in maintaining delivery schedules.
