en.Wedoany.com Reported - Chinese automaker Li Auto showcased its flagship large SUV, the Li L9 Livis, at the 2025 Beijing Auto Show. The vehicle features multiple new technologies, including an 800V active suspension, and is priced at 559,800 yuan. More details will be officially revealed at the launch event on May 15. The introduction of the Li L9 Livis aims to build a technological barrier, making it difficult for other automakers to easily replicate its product strength.
Li Auto launched its first model, the Li ONE, in 2019. Positioned as a mid-to-large SUV, it was priced at 328,000 yuan after subsidies. Deliveries began in December 2020. Leveraging its positioning as the "ultimate dad car," cumulative sales surpassed 10,000 units within six months and exceeded 30,000 units within 12 months. In May 2021, the new Li ONE upgraded its driving assistance features. The 100,000th unit rolled off the production line in October of that year, monthly sales broke 10,000 units in November, and cumulative sales exceeded 200,000 units.
In 2022, Li Auto launched the L series flagship model, the Li L9, priced at 459,800 yuan. The vehicle garnered immense attention with its combination of a "fridge, TV, and large sofa" and its promotion as "the best SUV under 5 million yuan." Deliveries began in August 2022, and it surpassed 10,000 units in its first full delivery month in September. Driven by its success, Li Auto long held the top sales position among domestic new force automakers, until Leapmotor's rise in 2025.
The Li L9 Livis introduces an 800V active suspension. Official demonstrations show it gliding smoothly over potholed roads, effectively suppressing body roll during cornering, and supporting scenarios like single-wheel push-ups and self-extrication from sand traps. The vehicle is also equipped with a "full version" steer-by-wire chassis, including steer-by-wire, four-wheel steering, and fully electronically controlled mechanical brakes (EMB). Even if three wheels fail simultaneously, single-wheel braking can effectively bring the vehicle to a stop. The turning radius of the 5.2-meter-long vehicle is reduced to 5.4 meters.
In terms of power, the new 1.5T range extender reduces noise through an electronic intake system and EOC active noise cancellation technology. Fuel consumption is reduced to 6.3L/100km (WLTC, charge-depleting mode), a decrease of nearly 20%. The maintenance interval has been extended to 3 years or 30,000 kilometers of range extender mileage. The battery pack has been upgraded to 72.7kWh, providing a CLTC pure electric range of 420km and a combined range of 1650km. It supports 420kW 5C ultra-fast charging, capable of charging from 10% to 80% in 10 minutes. The company plans to build 8,300 5C charging piles by the end of 2026.
The interior of the Li L9 Livis pursues a "sense of luxurious relaxation." The front screen has been upgraded from a dual-screen setup to a single full-width screen that supports split-screen display. The seats feature diamond quilting, the doors are accented with natural wood trim, the headrests have Livis embroidery, and the headrest speaker grilles have been moved to the sides. The rear ceiling-mounted screen can slide forward and backward. The second row is equipped with power armrests and pop-out cup holders. The door panels feature electronic door release buttons, physical door handles, and buttons for adjusting the privacy glass opacity.
At the Beijing Auto Show, Li Xiang personally tested the capacitive anti-pinch function of the soft-close doors, addressing the safety issue of finger pinching that occurred with the soft-close doors on the previous L7 model. Li Xiang had previously stated on social media that "anti-pinch and soft-close are contradictory," but a solution was ultimately found for the L9 Livis.
Regarding the exterior, Li Xiang stated: "For a large and bulky car, proportion and stance determine 90% of its temperament." The Li L9 Livis features a two-tone body with a triple-layer paint process, and the gold waistline is hand-polished. The front star ring light supports three-color illumination and, combined with ADB matrix headlights and UWB proximity sensing, enables interactive light language. The new vehicle measures 5255/2000/1810mm in length, width, and height, with a wheelbase of 3125mm, and is paired with 22-inch wheels to create its proportional stance.
The new vehicle is equipped with four LiDAR sensors, combined with 8-megapixel high-definition cameras, and carries two self-developed 5-nanometer Mach 100 chips, providing a total computing power of 2560 TOPS. It supports full-scenario NOA, covering highways, urban ring roads, and city streets, and can handle 300 types of complex parking scenarios.
