Li Auto released interior images of its new Li i6 pure-electric SUV on Sunday, as the company readies the model for its official launch next week.
The five-seat SUV features Li Auto’s signature cabin design with dual connected screens in the front, a 21.4-inch rear entertainment display, and an electric queen seat. Other amenities include a dual-temperature refrigerator, panoramic glass roof and privacy shades, the company said. “The Li i6 offers a new form of five-seat SUV,” the automaker added.
The Li i6 will be Li Auto’s third battery electric vehicle and second pure-electric SUV, following the Li i8 and the Li Mega MPV. The new model will be officially launched on Sept. 26, with an expected price range between 250,000 yuan ($35,150) and 300,000 yuan. Regulatory filings show it will be offered in single- and dual-motor versions with a maximum CLTC range of 720 km.
The launch comes as Li Auto faces declining sales this year. Deliveries in August fell 40.7% year-on-year to 28,529 units, marking the third straight month of steep decline. From January to August, deliveries totaled 263,198 vehicles, down 8.6% from a year earlier.
Founder and CEO Li Xiang said on Sept. 1 that the company aims to stabilize monthly deliveries at 9,000–10,000 units for the Li i6 and 6,000 units for the Li i8 by year-end. Including the Li Mega MPV, Li Auto expects monthly BEV deliveries to reach 18,000–20,000 units.
