Li Auto announced today that it delivered 47,774 vehicles in June, marking a notable 46.66% increase from the same period last year and a 36.42% rise from May’s figures. This places June’s deliveries as the second-highest on record, following December’s peak of 50,353 vehicles.
In the second quarter, Li Auto reported delivering 108,581 vehicles, reflecting a 25.48% year-on-year growth and a 35.05% increase from the first quarter. The company’s quarterly deliveries fell within its previously guided range of 105,000 to 110,000 vehicles, set during its first-quarter earnings report in May.

For the first half of the year, Li Auto delivered 188,981 vehicles, up 35.84% compared to the same period last year. Since its inception, the company has delivered a cumulative total of 822,345 vehicles.
Li Auto attributed a significant portion of its June sales success to the Li L6, its most affordable model, which contributed over 20,000 units to the monthly total.

Founder, chairman, and CEO Li Xiang highlighted the company’s recent market achievements, stating, “Since the second quarter, Li Auto has reclaimed the top spot in sales among China’s emerging new energy auto brands and has become the sales champion of Chinese auto brands in the RMB200,000 and higher NEV market, driven by the launch of our new model, Li L6, and the improvement of store efficiency.”
The Li L6, an extended-range electric vehicle (EREV), was launched on April 18, following previous models such as the Li L7, Li L8, and Li L9. Despite the launch of its first battery electric vehicle (BEV), the Li Mega MPV, on March 1, its performance was reportedly lackluster.
