December 31, 2023, China – Li Auto Inc., a front-runner in China’s burgeoning new energy vehicle market, has today announced a significant development in its product lineup. The company, listed on both Nasdaq (LI) and HKEX (2015), is gearing up to officially unveil its advanced flagship family MPV, the Li Mega, on March 1, 2024, with plans to start deliveries shortly thereafter in early March.
The anticipated Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for the Li Mega is set within the range of RMB 600,000, which translates to approximately INR 69.98 lakh.
The Li Mega is poised to redefine the market’s perception of family MPVs with its groundbreaking design that challenges the traditional, formulaic aesthetic typically seen in this segment. Meticulously engineered with a focus on aerodynamics, the vehicle promises a harmonious blend of spacious interiors and an efficient high-capacity battery. This innovative design approach results in a significantly reduced drag coefficient without compromising on cabin space.
In terms of performance, the Li Mega sets new benchmarks for production MPVs, especially regarding its drag coefficient. An improvement of just 0.01 in this metric can extend the China Light-Duty Vehicle Test Cycle (CLTC) range by an additional 7 km. The vehicle’s impressively low drag coefficient, combined with its high-voltage battery electric platform and superior vehicle integration efficiency, translates to exceptionally low energy consumption.
One of the key features of the Li Mega is its cutting-edge Li Auto-CATL Qilin (Kirin) 5C battery. This battery enables the vehicle to achieve a remarkable driving range of 500 km with just a 12-minute charge. This feature is particularly beneficial for Chinese families, allowing them to rapidly charge their vehicles during road trips and effectively eliminating range anxiety.
Safety is a paramount feature of the Li Mega, which comes equipped with the Li Auto Fortress Protection System. This comprehensive safety system offers 360° protection, ensuring the safety and security of every family member on the go. With its innovative design, advanced technology, and focus on safety, the Li Mega is set to be a game-changer in the family MPV market.
