The Li L9 (Chinese: 理想L9; pinyin: Lǐxiǎng L9; lit. 'ideal L9') is a luxury full-size crossover SUV by Chinese manufacturer Li Auto. It is the second vehicle from the manufacturer after the Li One, and also the first L-series model, which also includes the similar L8, L7 and L6.
History
The L9 was unveiled online in March 2022 and officially launched in June 2022 with the first vehicles to be delivered in China from August 2022.[1]
Specifications
The vehicle can be described as a range extended vehicle or as a PHEV. It has two electric motors: a 130-kilowatt (174 hp; 177 PS) motor in the front and a 200-kilowatt (268 hp; 272 PS) motor in the rear. It is also equipped with a front-mounted 1.5-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder petrol engine with a 65-litre (17.2 US gal; 14.3 imp gal) petrol tank capacity. The newer facelifted model has a gas tank of 55 litres (14.5 US gal; 12.1 imp gal). The petrol engine is a range extender for the electric motors; it does not directly power the wheels.
Total power output is 240 kW (322 hp; 326 PS) and 530 N⋅m (54 kg⋅m; 391 lb⋅ft). The company claims a NEDC range of 1,315 kilometres (817 mi), and an electric-only NEDC range of 215 kilometres (134 mi). The L9 accelerates 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in 5.3 seconds.[2]
Charging to 80% takes 40 minutes with a fast charger. A full charge at 200V takes 6 hours. Battery capacity is 40.6 kWh (146 MJ), out of which 37.2 kWh (134 MJ) is usable.
The L9 is available with six or seven seats in three rows.[1] The interior has a pair of two 4-millimetre (0.16 in) thick 15.7-inch wide screens, and the infotainment system runs on Android Auto.[3]
