Li Auto L9

Li Auto L9 is a full-size, six-seat intelligent flagship SUV that Li Auto launched in June 2022, distinguished by being the first model to popularize the six-seat SUV format in China by combining MPV functionality with SUV form—featuring electric sliding doors and powered seats for third-row access that avoided the awkward "climbing over" experience of traditional seven-seaters . The vehicle comes standard with an air suspension system; after an early incident with an overseas supplier, Li Auto switched to KH Automotive Technologies (孔辉科技) as its exclusive air-spring supplier, with the two companies scaling rapidly to meet demand that reached over 10,000 units monthly by late 2022 . The L9 uses extended-range electric technology with a large battery enabling roughly 200 km of pure-electric city driving while retaining gasoline range-extension for highway trips, a configuration Li Auto's CEO Li Xiang has described as solving the "long-distance travel anxiety" that would otherwise deter families from switching to electric vehicles .
