The Li Auto L9 (Exclusive First Look)

I unveil Li Auto's Li-L9, a luxury and innovation marvel. Despite expectations in the Li Auto community and forum conjecture, Li Auto deviates from the small SUV road to redefine automotive magnificence. Thanks to Li Auto's generosity, I visited Shenzhen to see the L9's global debut, a masterpiece that had only been seen in brief images but was now set to enchant the globe.
The L9's aggressive lines and stunning presence, adapted to the Chinese market's sophisticated sensibilities, defied my every anticipation. This newest flagship represents years of diligent innovation, delivering approximately 180,000 Li Ones to anxious fans without revealing what was next. With over 60% of its design team from Porsche and Land Rover, the L9 is a labor of love and a blend of global ingenuity. The halo light's appeal and the body proportions reflect the design philosophy that form serves function.
My showroom L9 experience was transformative. Li Auto's luxury-meets-practicality concept was reflected in the seats' unmatched comfort. The L1-inspired soft-touch materials and beautiful assembly show painstaking attention to detail.
The L9's halo light and grille-less design tell a story, notwithstanding my worries. The large back window cleverly creates an open atmosphere, making passengers feel free.
The L9's appeal goes beyond looks to function. Li Auto's attention to detail includes power-operated rear seats for more luggage room and a lower car for easier loading. A 4-cylinder, 1.5-liter turbo engine and electric batteries combine for a 1,315-kilometer range that blends efficiency and performance.
The L9's 21-speaker Dolby Atmos system creates an auditory masterpiece, while its cameras and sensors, including LiDAR and sonar radars, usher in a new era of safety and innovation.
Second row luxury continues with enough space and a strong foldable table, seamlessly mixing business and pleasure. The vehicle's extensive entertainment options balance work and play.
Li Auto's L9 is a mobile sanctuary. Each trip is made more comfortable and convenient with power-adjustable seats with massage, heating, and air conditioning in both front and rear, sufficient storage, and several charging outlets.
The L9 raises the bar for Chinese and worldwide automobile standards. Innovative features like gesture-controlled screens and voice command integration make it a landmark in automobile luxury and innovation. I'll show you the Li-L9, an automotive design marvel.

[@雷财经]

@@HermanWillems You don't need to worry about this. With the slowdown of the US economic growth, the US is opening the door to China's last core areas through trade wars, financial wars, public opinion wars, etc. The areas include: banking, insurance, Communication, etc., the holding and sole proprietorship of foreign-funded enterprises in China have been realized. So don't worry about China's self-protection. If China does not open its door, the United States will help China cause civil unrest.

[@byhyew]

Sorry, Li Auto nor any Chinese maker would be going directly to North America anytime soon. No Chinese businessman want their family taken hostage by Washington for political reasons. The Huawei precedent will haunt them for a generation. So it will have to go through third party reseller, which will undoubtly rise the price quite a bit.

[@hongchacn9677]

Suspension: Front double wishbone suspension, rear five-link suspension. Suspension Type: There are several air suspension modes to choose from. The maximum rise is 4 cm, and the maximum fall is 4 cm. If cargo needs to be loaded to the rear, the front suspension remains the same and the rear suspension can be lowered by up to 5cm. There is no information on the turning radius. If selling outside of China, I think an English system will be added.
