Li Auto's (NASDAQ: LI) second all-electric SUV model, the Li i6, has a range of up to 720 kilometers and is set to launch in September.
China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) today released the latest batch of new energy vehicle (NEV) models eligible for vehicle purchase tax exemptions, with the Li i6 included in the list.
The electric SUV's battery pack has only one option, with a capacity of 87.3075 kWh, weighing 622.8 or 620.0 kilograms, with an energy density of about 136 Wh/kg or 140 Wh/kg.
The Li i6 offers three CLTC range options: 660 kilometers, 710 kilometers, and 720 kilometers.
The document does not specify the suppliers for these battery packs, but according to a previous regulatory filing, suppliers include CATL (SHE: 300750) and Sunwoda.
The Li i6 measures 4,950 mm in length, 1,935 mm in width, and 1,655 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3,000 mm, according to a filing on June 20.
The vehicle offers single-motor and dual-motor variants, with production facilities including Li Auto's factory in Beijing, where its headquarters are located, and a factory in Changzhou, Jiangsu province.
The Li i6 is a spacious two-row, five-seat family pure-electric SUV set to launch in September, Li Xiang, founder, chairman, and CEO of Li Auto, said on Weibo following the disclosure of the vehicle's regulatory filing information on June 20.
"We aim to provide families considering the Mercedes-Benz GLC, BMW X3, or Audi Q5 with an additional purchasing option," Li said at the time.
Li Auto is one of China's leading extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) manufacturers, with its current lineup primarily consisting of L-series extended-range electric vehicles (EREVs), including the Li L6, Li L7, Li L8, and Li L9, all of which are SUVs.
The Li Mega MPV (multi-purpose vehicle), which was launched on March 1, 2024, is Li Auto's first battery electric vehicle (BEV) model.
The company is preparing for the launch of its first pure electric SUV model, the 6-seat Li i8, and shared the interior photos of the vehicle earlier today.
Li Auto will begin accepting pre-orders for the Li i8 on July 17, with the official launch event scheduled for July 29.
