- The move expands Li Auto's overseas footprint to four markets, including Uzbekistan.
- Li Auto has launched its three EREVs -- the Li L6, Li L7, and Li L9 -- in these markets.
Li Auto (NASDAQ: LI) today announced its entry into three overseas markets, further expanding its international presence following its launch in Uzbekistan.
The Chinese automaker has officially entered the Egyptian, Kazakh, and Azerbaijani markets, marking a key breakthrough in its overseas expansion, it announced today on Weibo.
This marks the brand's completion of core market coverage spanning Central Asia, the Caucasus region, and Africa, signaling the entry into a substantive implementation phase of its globalization strategy, Li Auto said.
Li Auto launched its L series extended-range electric vehicles (EREVs) in these three new markets: the Li L6, Li L7, and Li L9 -- all SUV (sport utility vehicle) models.
The company's lineup in China also includes the Li L8 from the L series, along with three battery electric vehicle (BEV) models: the Li Mega MPV (multi-purpose vehicle), Li i6 SUV, and Li i8 SUV.
To ensure consistent user experience, Li Auto will provide overseas customers with official warranty services, after-sales support, and ongoing OTA technical upgrades, it said.
Since October 2025, Li Auto has accelerated its overseas expansion, completing channel establishment and product launches in four key international markets, it said.
The company's new products launching in 2026 will incorporate overseas market regulatory compliance considerations from the early R&D stage, further enhancing global competitiveness, Li Auto said.
"Launching in these markets marks a crucial step in our overseas development," said Wu Zuomin, head of international business at Li Auto.
The company is not only focused on entering new markets but also delivering a consistent user experience through local partnerships, Wu said.
Li Auto opened its first overseas retail center in Uzbekistan in October, selling the Li L9, Li L7, and Li L6 to the local market.
Li Auto is among the later entrants among China's EV startups to expand overseas. Its domestic peers Xpeng (NYSE: XPEV) and Nio Inc (NYSE: NIO) began exploring overseas markets several years ago.
