Launched on July 29, the Li i8 is available in three variants, priced between 321,800 yuan and 369,800 yuan. Its starting price aligns with that of the Li L8 REEV, positioning it as a competitive option within Li Auto’s expanding vehicle lineup. The Li i8 combines the spaciousness of an MPV, the versatility of an SUV, and the driving dynamics of a sedan, reflecting a decade of research and development to enhance family-oriented mobility.
Chairman and CEO Li Xiang stated: “The Li i8 has received strong user feedback since its debut, prompting accelerated production at the company’s factories.” Deliveries of the Li i8 are set to begin on August 20, coinciding with the rollout of Li Auto’s VLA large AI driving model and its intelligent digital assistant, “Li Xiang Tongxue.”
Li Auto continues to expand its retail and service network across China, operating 535 retail centers in 153 cities and 527 service and body shop locations in 222 cities as of July’s end. The company has also established 3,028 supercharging stations, totaling 16,671 charging piles nationwide, supporting its growing electric vehicle customer base.
The launch of the Li i8 and the expansion of charging infrastructure underscore Li Auto’s commitment to advancing sustainable mobility and meeting rising demand for electric vehicles. With production ramping up and a robust network in place, the company is well-positioned to strengthen its market presence in the coming months.
