Li Auto's 16.7% YoY delivery growth shows strong momentum with comprehensive model upgrades and infrastructure expansion boosting competitive position.

The company has successfully completed a comprehensive upgrade across its entire model lineup, strategically differentiating its products within China's competitive premium NEV market. The suspension systems in particular represent meaningful technological advancement - the dual-chamber air suspension and dual-valve CDC system in the Li L9 addresses a critical consumer pain point in the premium segment where ride comfort and handling stability are paramount purchase factors.
Li Auto's strategic positioning is evident in their technical specifications. By equipping all models with all-weather LiDAR for advanced safety features, they're establishing a competitive advantage in advanced driver assistance capabilities. The standardization of dual-chamber Magic Carpet air suspension in the L8 and L7 models is particularly significant, as this technology is typically reserved for vehicles at much higher price points, creating exceptional value proposition in the RMB300,000-400,000 segment.
The infrastructure expansion to 2,414 super charging stations with 13,195 charging stalls demonstrates Li Auto's commitment to solving the charging anxiety issue that often limits EV adoption. The planned completion of their 2,500th station in June will further strengthen their competitive position just as they launch their first battery electric vehicle (BEV) model in July - a critical expansion beyond their current extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) portfolio.

Li Auto has completed a comprehensive upgrade of its entire model lineup to new versions over the past month. The deliveries of Li MEGA Home began in late May, and its production ramp up is accelerating as orders significantly exceeded expectations. The new Li L series demonstrates substantially enhanced product strengths, with each upgrade tailored to genuine user needs and optimized for high-frequency usage scenarios. Li L9 features the dual-chamber air suspension and dual-valve CDC flagship suspension system, delivering an exceptional balance of spacious interior comfort and stable handling. Meanwhile, both Li L8 and Li L7 feature dual-chamber Magic Carpet air suspension as standard, significantly boosting their sporting performance and setting them apart in the RMB300,000 to RMB400,000 price segment. All models come standard with an all-weather LiDAR to deliver industry-leading automatic emergency braking (AEB) and automatic emergency steering (AES) active safety capabilities.
In late May, Li Auto began to roll out OTA update version 7.4, upgrading the smart assistant Li Xiang Tong Xue with new animated avatars and enhanced intelligence. Additionally, the Company expects to complete the deployment of its 2,500th super charging station in June, setting the stage for the planned launch of its first battery electric SUV, Li i8, in July.
