Li Auto 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.

In the Gulf
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

Open the charging map →Practical tips for Gulf drivers
EV ownership in the Gulf brings heat, Ramadan, sand and long roads. These are general practical tips; each model’s experience depends on its variant and market.
Prayer times and charging
Choose a compatible station near your destination, and check access hours and operating status in the operator app before arrival.
Ramadan
Check station occupancy in the operator app and choose a quieter time when possible.
Sand and dust
Inspect the charge port and cooling vents after dusty conditions, and follow your car’s cleaning schedule.
Cross-border travel
For trips between Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, use verified compatible chargers on your route, with a backup stop and a safe arrival reserve.
Insurance and maintenance
Compare insurance and maintenance schedules for the specific model and dealer. Prices and intervals vary between vehicles.

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.

It may be in stock or inbound at an independent showroom without an official dealer. Warranty there comes from the seller, not guaranteed — exactly what our managed EV Gulf route replaces.
Import via EV Gulf
Inspection + freight + registration
We source it for you through our network of contracted partners: VIN, battery and software checked before shipping, then local registration — one contract, one invoice, instead of coordinating separate parties yourself.
