Li Auto has scheduled the official launch of the 2026 Li i6 electric SUV for October 28. The company will begin displaying the vehicle at its 485 retail locations across China starting October 11, followed by a presentation at the Paris Motor Show on October 12. The model will be marketed as the Li 6 in Europe.
The new SUV features proprietary 5C battery technology and the Mach driver-assistance chip. Customers will be able to book test drives and place orders immediately following the launch event. Deliveries in the Chinese market are slated to commence in early November, maintaining the timeline previously adjusted by the company in September.
The 2026 Li i6 will be available in both single-motor and dual-motor all-wheel-drive configurations. While the design remains consistent with previous versions, the updated model incorporates semi-hidden door handles. Pricing for the new iteration has not yet been disclosed by the manufacturer.
The Li i6 remains a primary driver of the company's sales volume. In August, the model recorded 16,979 deliveries, representing 45.06 percent of the brand's total monthly output. Cumulative deliveries of the vehicle reached 181,813 units by the end of August, with 152,842 units delivered during the first eight months of the year.
