Li L8 Range-Extended SUV Debuts with 430 km EV Range and 5C Fast Charging

The Li Auto officially introduced the next-generation Li L8 Range-Extended SUV on June 23, expanding its premium SUV lineup with major improvements across vehicle size, powertrain technology, chassis hardware, intelligent cockpit capabilities, and advanced driver assistance systems. The new model is offered in two trims, Ultra and Livis, carrying official prices of CNY 369,800 and CNY 429,800, respectively. As part of a limited-time promotion, customers can purchase the two variants for CNY 359,800 and CNY 419,800. These upgrades position the latest Li L8 as a more capable range-extended SUV for drivers seeking both electric efficiency and long-distance usability.

Larger Dimensions and Enhanced Vehicle Architecture

The redesigned Li L8 receives updated exterior dimensions that contribute to improved cabin space and road presence. The SUV measures 5,135 mm in length, 2,000 mm in width, and 1,800 mm in height, while maintaining a wheelbase of 3,045 mm. Alongside its increased proportions, the vehicle benefits from chassis hardware enhancements intended to improve overall driving performance and ride quality. These dimensional updates support the vehicle's positioning within the mid-to-large premium range-extended SUV segment while providing a spacious platform for passengers and onboard technologies.

Dual-Motor AWD Powertrain and Extended Driving Range

The Li L8 Range-Extended SUV uses a dual-motor intelligent all-wheel-drive system consisting of a 145 kW, 265 Nm front asynchronous induction motor and a 275 kW, 445 Nm rear permanent magnet synchronous motor. Power is supplied through Li Auto's third-generation self-developed 1.5T four-cylinder range extender. Together, the system produces a maximum output of 420 kW and a peak torque of 710 Nm. The SUV reaches a top speed of 200 km/h and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds, combining strong performance with extended driving capability.

Battery, Charging and Driving Performance

Every variant is equipped with a 72.7 kWh ternary lithium 5C ultra-fast charging battery pack. Under the CLTC testing cycle, the vehicle offers an all-electric driving range of 430 km and a combined driving range of 1,670 km when supported by the range extender. Fast-charging capability enables the battery state of charge to increase from 10% to 80% in approximately 10 minutes, allowing drivers to minimize charging stops while maintaining long-distance travel convenience.

Advanced Intelligent Cockpit and Driver Assistance Technologies

The cabin integrates the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8797 processor to power its intelligent cockpit functions. Interior technology includes a 29-inch 6K panoramic display together with an ultra-high-definition projection head-up display for enhanced driver visibility. Intelligent driving features are supported by the Mach M100 computing platform delivering 1,280 TOPS of processing power, while the Livis variant includes dual Mach M100 chips. The system also incorporates an ATL-P high-performance LiDAR sensor and a UWB high-precision near-field radar, enabling VLA-based full-scenario Navigate on Autopilot (NOA) and VLA-based intelligent parking assistance.
