The new model’s launch boosted the stores’ inflow by 30%, accumulating 20 orders per sales point. The new Li Auto L9 entered the Chinese market on May 15 with two trim levels and a price range of 459,800 – 509,800 yuan (67,615 – 74,970 USD). This model aims to solidify the brand’s market position as its sales have been falling year-over-year for most of the time due to intensifying competition in the EREV & PHEV crossovers segment. According to China EV DataTracker, Li Auto delivered 34,085 units in April 2026 in China, up 0.4% Y-O-Y. CarFans analyzed the new Li L9’s market performance 72 hours after the launch. It appeared that 90% of the customers choose the flagship Livis version that comes standard with active suspension, four LiDARs, two Mach 100 chips for 2,560 TOPS, and a wire-controlled chassis. Male clients accounted for 90% of sales, while the average age of customers was between 35 and 42 years. Interior of the Li Auto L9 Livis CarFans reported that the high interest towards the Li Auto L9 Livis is caused by the fact that the car’s finalized price was 30,000 yuan (4,410 USD) lower than the presales price. That is probably also the reason why 60% of customers paid an additional 20,000 yuan (2,940 USD) for the two-tone exterior color, and 50% of customers ordered the second- and third-row electrochromic glass for 10,000 yuan (1,470 USD). Brown-gold became the most popular choice, while green-white became the main volume-selling interior color. Core rivals of the Li Auto L9 include BEV, EREV, and PHEV models: the Nio ES9, the Aito M9, and the Zeekr 9X. Sales of the new L9 were highest in Shandong, Hebei, Beijing, Guangdong, and Zhejiang.
