Li Auto Inc. (“Li Auto” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: LI; HKEX: 2015),
a leader in China’s new energy vehicle market, today unveiled Li
L9, the Company’s flagship smart SUV for families. Li L9 is a
six-seat, full-size flagship SUV, offering superior space and
comfort for family users. Its self-developed flagship range
extension and chassis systems provide excellent drivability with a
CLTC range of 1,315 kilometers and a WLTC range of 1,100
kilometers. Li L9 also features the Company’s self-developed
autonomous driving system, Li AD Max, and top-notch vehicle safety
measures to protect every family passenger. Li L9’s innovative
five-screen, three-dimensional interactive intelligent cockpit
brings a new level of driving and entertainment experience. Li L9
comes standard with over 100 flagship features at a retail price of
RMB459,800.
Li L9 is open for reservation starting today and
will arrive at all Li Auto retail stores nation-wide by July 1,
with test drives available from July 16. Delivery will commence by
the end of August 2022.
Meanwhile, the Company announced that it will
open-source its fully self-developed AEB system to promote
autonomous driving safety technology in the industry and make
travel safer for more users.
Flagship Range Extension System and
Chassis System
Li L9 is equipped with a dual-motor,
intelligent, all-wheel drive system with maximum power of 330
kilowatts and maximum torque of 620 Newton meters, enabling
acceleration from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in 5.3 seconds and
ensuring performance and smoothness. Li L9 features a 44.5
kilowatt-hour new-generation NCM lithium battery, supporting a
longer driving range under EV mode of a CLTC range of 215
kilometers and a WLTC range of 180 kilometers.
Li L9’s range extension system is powered by a
self-developed and self-manufactured 1.5-liter, four-cylinder,
turbo-charged engine, boosting maximum thermal efficiency to 40.5%
and reducing fuel consumption under the CLTC standard operating
conditions to 5.9 liters per 100 kilometers. Coupled with a low
drag coefficient and high motor efficiency, Li L9’s CLTC range
reaches 1,315 kilometers and its WLTC range reaches 1,100
kilometers. It can also supply up to 3.5 kilowatts of electricity
for external use, providing additional utility for flexible use
anytime, anywhere.
Li L9’s chassis has a self-developed control
system, a double-wishbone front suspension and a five-link rear
suspension. These work in tandem with its smart air spring and
continuous damping control (CDC) system, responding in milliseconds
and empowering Li L9’s chassis to adjust based on road conditions
for outstanding handling and ride comfort.
Li L9 features a self-developed central vehicle
domain controller, enabling high-speed processing of complex
vehicle information and precise vehicle control with
millisecond-grade response time.
Flagship Safety System to Protect Each
Family Passenger
Safety always has been a top priority for Li
Auto. Li L9 satisfies the highest safety requirements of the
China-New Car Assessment Program (“C-NCAP” or “中国新车评价规程”) and the
China Insurance Automotive Safety Index (“C-IAS” or
“中国保险汽车安全指数”).
Every Li L9 comes standard with the Company’s
flagship, full-stack self-developed ADAS, Li AD Max, with enhanced
functionality bolstered by upgraded perception capability and data
processing power. The perception hardware includes one forward
128-line LiDAR, six 8-megapixel cameras, five 2-megapixel cameras,
one forward millimeter wave radar, and twelve ultrasonic sensors,
realizing 360-degree detection of both vehicle surroundings and
distant objects. In addition, Li L9 provides a “sentry” mode that
monitors both the inside and outside of the vehicle through
interior 3D ToF transmitters and exterior cameras.
To handle the increased processing needs
resulting from the large number of sensors, Li AD Max is powered by
dual Orin-X chips with 508 TOPS of computing power and real-time,
efficient processing of fusion signals. The dual processors provide
fallback redundancies for each other, ensuring more stable
operation of the autonomous driving system.
In addition, the system is optimized to
recognize and react to common accident scenarios, with features
designed to identify and evade risks in advance and help prevent
accidents.
Li L9 is the first volume production vehicle
with redundancy design applied to its powertrain, steering system,
braking system, and power supply system for the computing platform
to ensure reliability and safety, since safety is never redundant
for families.
Flagship Intelligent
Cockpit
Li L9’s pioneering five-screen three-dimensional
interactive mode elevates the driving and entertainment experience
to a new level. Through a combined head-up display, or HUD, and
interactive safe driving screen, key driving information is
projected onto the front windshield through the HUD, enhancing
driving safety by keeping the driver’s sightline on the road. The
interactive safe driving screen, which is located above the
steering wheel, adopts mini-LED and multi-touch technology,
enabling easier interactions. Li L9’s other three screens,
including the vehicle’s central control screen, the passenger
entertainment screen, and the rear cabin entertainment screen, are
15.7-inch 3K automotive-grade OLED screens, delivering first-class
entertainment experiences to the entire family.
With six microphones and a set of 3D ToF
transmitters in the vehicle coupled with the deep learning-based,
multi-module three-dimensional interactive technology pioneered by
the Company, Li L9 provides a smart experience that can be enjoyed
by family members of all ages, from kindergarteners to seniors.
Li L9 also uses Dolby Atmos technology combined
with 4D vibration units embedded in the second-row seats, to create
an unprecedented immersive experience equivalent to having an
upscale 4D movie theater in the vehicle.
Li L9’s smart cockpit is supported by a
computing platform composed of two Qualcomm Snapdragon
automotive-grade 8155 chips, which ensures the smoothness and
responsiveness of its five-screen three-dimensional
interactions.
Flagship Space, Comfort and
Design
The goal of Li L9 is to create a flagship smart
SUV for families. With flagship space and comfort, it aims to make
every member of the family feel at home on their journey. In terms
of dimensions, Li L9 has a length of 5,218 millimeters, width of
1,998 millimeters, height of 1,800 millimeters, and wheelbase of
3,105 millimeters. Through careful designs of the vehicle layout
and space, Li L9’s interiors space surpasses that of mainstream
SUVs in its class.
Li L9’s seats are designed to maximize passenger
comfort and reduce travel fatigue. Seats in all three rows come
standard with electric seat adjustment controls and seat heating
functions, as well as 3D comfort foam cushioning and Nappa leather
upholstery. Features for the first- and second-row seats include
seat ventilation and spa-level massage across ten acupressure
points.
From its stance to its proportions, Li L9
showcases an elegant silhouette with no complicated or redundant
lines in its design language. Li L9 adopts a signature integrated
halo LED headlight, which is more than 2 meters from end to end in
a continuous flow and seamlessly combines functionality with art.
Its uniformity, coherence, softness and color temperature are all
industry leading.
With flagship space and comfort, a flagship
range extension system and chassis system, flagship safety
features, and a flagship interactive experience, Li L9 aims to
Create a Mobile Home, Create Happiness (创造移动的家, 创造幸福的家).
