I just purchased a Li L8, a smaller version of L9. Upgraded from Lexus es300h. A totally revolutionary upgrade. The guy in Lexus dealership asked me in which way does the L8 better than Lexus.

So it doesn't have any weaknesses in my point of view. My wife and mom are happy in the second row. My kids are happy in the third row.

[@theolich4384]

Teslas do sell for less than they do in the States (while the same MIC models go for much more in Europe than they do in China) though. I think it's because when it comes to EVs, the Chinese do have a competitive edge which hadn't been the case with ICE vehicles. So the most curious would be how should the Germans price their EVs in the Chinese market today? The (MIC by BAIC the local partner, thus no import tax) EQE for example is facing what Mercedes had never experienced in China before - legitimate competitors like the NIO ET7.

[@tren133]

X7 is relatively cheap in the US because it is built in the US. Importing it into China is what causes it to nearly double in price. Same reason very few Chinese made cars are imported into the US. It is no longer because of quality/safety issues, but taxes. The X5L is built in China, so it is a good deal cheaper, but still starts at around 90k USD though. So either way, BMW is gonna be in trouble in the coming years when Li is selling a fully loaded 3 row plug in extended range EV that can hit 60 in 5 seconds for 30% less than a entry trim 2 row X5 with a 4 banger under the hood. That BMW badge is worth quite a bit in China still (e.g. the I'd rather cry in the front seat of a BMW reality show contestant), but I guess some of the younger professionals don't care as much, and the L9 is just soooo much cheaper.

[@Angelo-oct4]

I am chinese and I just got my X7 arrived which I bought it about half a year ago. To be exact, it caused me 1.41m RMB (190K USD). it's very obvious, the import tax is pretty unbelivable in China.(from 50%+, higher the price higher the tax) Telsa have a full on factory in Shanghai so the price is roughly the same as the US price, because they are all locally produced and don't need to pay additional import taxes. Same as BMW/mercades/Audi, they all got few partilly seires/model produced in their Chinese factory.(normally low end one) are quiet cheap as well

[@fufu6070]

The L9 is ahead of the x7 by a country mile. The notion that the bmw drives better becomes a tenuous one given how well we saw the L9 handle a wide variety of terrains, some of which not even attempted by the bmw. I struggle to picture how well the x7 would handle those inclines and moguls. In any case, the low COG of a large battery HEV should give me all the confidence in its driving dynamics.

[@derbigpr500]

"The L9 is ahead of the x7 by a country mile" Isn't in any way, literally. X7 is better off road, yes, don't doubt it, plenty of videos online to prove it. BMW is 20 years ahead in terms of engineering and driving. It will sit on 250 km/h all day long in perfect comfort and safety.

NATO:Resist! Chinese cars will pose a threat to national security!

[@hollowtian6148]

As someone who drives a bmw sports car, I’m just glad that Li admits their car is not designed for driving but for family comfort. I just hate some car manufacturers make their SUV so big and still pretends to be some sort of performance car 😂😂😂

[@callas60]

Wow! Hope Li comes to Malaysia soon.

Eventually tech will overcome mechanics, I had an AMG for 3 years and in the end I drive it like a grocery car. L9 is like a private jet.

[@zhangdoe655]

Oh and in China L9 is like 500k RMB and X7 is like 1mil…so X7=2L9 almost😂

[@marty1035]

China so far ahead of USA and Europe on tech development. They have more engineers graduating annually than the rest of the world combined.

[@sputnikfreshie3601]

Go china!

[@polichem2002]

If I may request, please review the 2022/2023 Changan CS75 Plus. Thank you.

Wheelsboy is a type of guy to bring two 3 row luxury SUVs to a racetrack😂

[@Fa-uk5fb]

I’ve got an x7 50d ultimate. But now I’m waiting for China to send the suv to uk so I can buy on of these.

[@nielosoweznaki]

What's with the taxi / London cab thingy on the roof of L9 ;) ?

[@thrissurdiary9583]

If u work out autopilot that works in India.... Then world have to worry about AI....

[@willemm]

The Chinese one wins by virtue of being electric. However, BMW will probably come with an electric variant very soon...

[@williamritchie693]

No. Stick with x7. It’s a time honored brand who has experience building luxury. BMW is the better hands down. Plus the battery fails a lot among other things. My friends have one and though it looks nice it’s a handbag of issues.

I'm a Range Rover owner, but have to say, Li's car is easier to use in the city than the Range Rover

[@SaddamHusain-qo8cl]

L9 is far more advance and minimal than x7 in its visuals and looks. X7 is looking like an old fashined t shirt, big grill, over designed front, big ugly back with no minimalism and design aesthetics, no comparison with Li at all. Li is a profound definition of tech and visuals.

[@NaucnaHipnoza]

Li looks superior on racing track from here and next to the BMW. Yes , I heard BMW always has good seats. By the way, where from was that water coming from the LI :)?

[@jimmychoi5219]

Does the car infotainment and command system support English in China?

[@yiftahrauch805]

Any safety rating for Li's products?

[@jzvr5842]

5 Stars.

[@peterlai9018]

How reliable is that 1.5T engine in the L9?

[@llih0074]

The engine in L9 It's an authorized and deeply customized BMW prince engine. This engine is only used to generate electricity and always runs at a fuel-efficient speed. So durability and NVH are pretty good.

[@五金零件加工制造]

1.5T发动机只负责发电，不直接输出动力

[@beliyiannis]

Very good video for one more time!!! Well done 👍

[@irmetov]

I wish L9 had an English interface and they sold it in the US.
