i9

Li Auto's electric flagship — 6 seats, 705 km CLTC and a 0.215 drag coefficient

Launched in China on 16 September 2026 at a single price of 369,800 yuan. A six-seat family SUV, 5,225 mm long on a 3,168 mm wheelbase, with a 101 kWh 5C pack that adds 500 km in 10 minutes (Li Auto's figure) and all-wheel drive making 400 kW (536 hp) for 0-100 in 4.9 seconds. Its 0.215 drag coefficient is the lowest of any production SUV, the company says.

Pros and cons from Gulf-specific experience (heat · Ramadan · infrastructure)

Gulf Pros

  • 5C charging: 10 minutes adds 500 km CLTC — Li Auto's published figure
  • Six seats, two of them rotating and four with a zero-gravity mode
  • Dual-chamber air suspension and rear-wheel steering — hardware from the class above

Watch out for

  • No Gulf distributor has named this model as of 22 September 2026 — China price only
  • Range is on the optimistic Chinese CLTC cycle; the real Gulf-summer figure is clearly lower
  • Li Auto's ultra-fast network is China-only; in the Gulf it would rely on third-party chargers

What sets it apart

Verified OEM technologies that make this model stand out — from crab walk to battery swap.

5C charging — 10 minutes for 500 km of range (Li Auto claim)

How the score works (published formula)

A weighted average of four pillars from catalogue data only: Heat range 35% (from the Real-Range Index), Charging 25% (power + 10–80% time), Value 20% (price vs its body-class median), Dealer support 20% (Gulf markets with an official dealer). A pillar with no data is dropped and weights renormalise — no number is invented. Pure EVs only.
