Where Aerodynamics Meets Elegance
Minimalist Aesthetics: A continuous light strip + blackened split headlights widen the visual profile, while parametric-texture grille optimizes cooling and drag (Cd 0.306, best in class) .
Size Agility Paradox: At 5,218mm long with a 3,105mm wheelbase, the L9 defies its bulk through rear-wheel steering (“Crab Mode”), enabling nimble urban maneuvering like a compact car .
Five Screens, One Living Room
Immersive Interaction: Replacing traditional gauges, a HUD + steering wheel display + triple 15.7-inch OLED screens enable multitasking (e.g., navigation, streaming, climate control) .
Family-Centric Engineering:
Thoughtful Details: Rear fridge for baby bottles, foldable tables with wireless charging, 220V outlets for remote work .
Motion Sickness Fix: CRBS regen braking + IMU sensors dynamically adjust power distribution to reduce nausea .
Comfort First, Compromises Second
Strengths: Dual-chamber air suspension + CDC dampers adjust ride height (+40mm off-road). Highway NOA slashes driver fatigue by 60% .
Controversies:
Chassis Tuning: Body float over bumps; steering lacks premium feedback .
Noise Isolation: Excellent cabin quietness, but external music leakage and tire roar at speed persist; range extender whine in fuel mode .
The “Value Disruptor”
Upscale Challenge: Offers space/tech rivaling BMW X7/Mercedes GLS at half the price .
Key Rivals:
AITO M9: Features drone parking but smaller third row; less family-optimized .
NIO ES8: Battery swap convenience but 900km max range; lacks rear screens .
Target Audience: Multi-Generational Families
Core Use Cases:
Urban Commute: 215km EV range covers daily drives at 1/5 fuel cost .
Road Trips: 1,400km range enables cross-province journeys; 3.5kW export power runs campsite appliances .
Brand DNA: Scenarios Define Products
The L9 succeeds by:
Demand Deconstruction: Breaking family needs into “comfort/intelligence/performance,” rebuilt via fridge-screens-sofa .
Cost Mastery: The L9 Pro removed lidar but kept essentials, boosting sales post-price cut .
Verdict: The Family Benchmark, Flawed Yet Unrivaled
The Li Auto L9 isn’t perfect—chassis refinement and noise control need work—but its 1,400km range erases anxiety, five-screen ecosystem bonds generations, and 500k RMB value shames luxury giants. In an era of “pragmatic premium,” it proves true innovation starts with atomic-level empathy for users .
