Li Auto Inc. (NASDAQ: LI) has launched the Li i8, a six-seat battery electric SUV, priced between RMB321,800 and RMB369,800. The vehicle is built on a new BEV platform featuring an in-house developed electric drive system and a 5C battery pack, offering a CLTC range of up to 720 kilometers. Li i8 can gain 500 km of range in just 10 minutes of charging, thanks to the company's extensive network of 3,000 super charging stations across China, including 1,000 highway stations [1].The Li i8 combines off-road capabilities, sedan-like handling, and MPV-level comfort. It features advanced LiDAR sensors, Li AD Pro/Max assisted driving systems, and the MindGPT-powered Li Xiang Tong Xue Agent for smart functionality. Deliveries are set to begin on August 20, 2025 [1].
Li Auto's investment in proprietary battery technology and charging infrastructure demonstrates its focus on addressing the complete ecosystem rather than just vehicle production. The company's 3,000-station network, covering over 250 cities, creates significant barriers to entry for competitors [1].
The Li i8's strategic pricing and six-seat configuration differentiate it from many competitors' five-seat offerings, targeting the upper-middle market segment where margins are typically stronger. By emphasizing the vehicle as a "mobile home," Li Auto is targeting emotional rather than purely rational purchase decisions [1].
The launch of the Li i8 positions Li Auto to capture significant market share in China's premium family EV segment. The vehicle's advanced technologies and extensive charging infrastructure place Li Auto at the forefront of fast-charging technology in the consumer EV market [1].
