Li Auto unveils next-generation L9
On February 6, Li Auto announced the next-generation Li L9, positioning the model as a flagship SUV built around the concept of embodied intelligence. The company released official images alongside the announcement, while founder and CEO Li Xiang took to social media to outline key product highlights and the broader market strategy behind the new vehicle.
Reflecting on the model's evolution, Mr. Li said the original Li L9, launched four years ago, became widely known for redefining comfort and positioning itself as a top-tier SUV in its price range. Since then, the company has rethought what a generational upgrade should mean. Rather than chasing headline specifications, the new Li L9 is designed to deliver a step-change in user experience, with a focus on responsiveness, intelligence, and a more human-like interaction between vehicle and driver.
Building on this philosophy, Li Auto is also preparing a high-end variant priced at 559,800 yuan, branded as the Li L9 Livis. The company describes this version as its ultimate interpretation of a flagship SUV in the era of embodied intelligence, delivering what it sees as three major generational leaps in vehicle technology and architecture.
