The new car will drop the 1.2T three-cylinder engine from Harbin Dongan Auto Engine Co Ltd in favor of a 1.5T four-cylinder engine from Xinchen China Power, the report said, citing a leaked spec sheet.
The spec sheet from cheshi.com also shows that Li Auto's X01 model measures 5,150*1,980*1,800, which is larger in length, width and height than the current Li ONE's 5,023*1,960*1,755.
Its front and rear drive motors are 130 and 200kW respectively, with peak torques of 200 and 450N-m. This gives it a much higher power parameter than Li ONE, and reduces the 0-100km acceleration time from 6.5 seconds to 5.8 seconds.
It has a 44.5kWh battery capacity and a pure electric range of 155km under WLTC conditions. it also supports fast charging, with a 20-80% charge time of 36 minutes.
It has a 65L fuel tank, increasing the WLTC range from 735km to 800km.
Both The X01 and Li ONE will be produced at Li Auto's plant in Changzhou, Jiangsu province, with an overall annual capacity of 100,000 units. But when the X01 goes into production, annual capacity will climb to 90,000 units, while the Li ONE's annual capacity will drop to 10,000 units, cheshi.com reports.
The X01 will be equipped with two Journey 3 chips from local chip company Horizon Robotics, 128 lines of LiDAR, five millimeter-wave radars and 12 ultrasonic radars, allowing the model to expand to support L4 autonomous driving, according to the report.
