Li Auto has issued a teaser photograph of the forthcoming L6 with a timely Year of the Dragon New Year's theme.

The official launch of this car is scheduled for April 2024. The Li Auto L6 will launch in April 2024 and will be the most mass-market oriented Li model yet with prices expected in the CNY 200,000 - CNY 300,000 (US$ 27,800 US$ 41,700) price bracket.

Currently, Li Auto sells the L7, L8 and L9 SUVs which are all range extended models (EREV) and the L6 will join these. Also launching in 2024 is the Li Mega the brand's first all-electric model and an MPV in a break from the SUV only line-up which has served the brand so well.

The L6 is positioned as a luxury five-seat SUV whereas the L7 is the brand's flagship five seater. While the L6 is still quite big it is smaller than the L7. Riding on a 2920mm wheelbase it has a length, width and height of 4925mm 1960mm and 1735mm respectively. In contrast the L7 is 5050mm in length, 1995mm in width and 1750mm in height, while the wheelbase is 3005mm.

As well as a Pro and Max version there will be a cheaper Air version. Lower priced versions will not be equipped with Lidar. Visually, the car will be like a scaled down L7 with only minor differences. The interior is also expected to be similar to the L7.

A 1.5T engine with 113 KW maximum power will act as a generator for range extension. Drive will come from dual electric motors. At launch it will come with a lithium iron phosphate battery supplied by either CATL or Sunwoda. Later, a nickel cobalt manganese (NCM) ternary lithium battery will also be available.
