The numbers that matter here

Same speed, 45°C summer310 kmHeat Score 67/100 — Strong

Works for you in the Gulf

  • 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

Go in knowing

  • 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

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

0.215 drag coefficient — the lowest of any production SUV, per the company
