The all-new 2026 Lixiang L9 will be launched in March

Lixiang AUTO will release the all-new generation Lixiang L9 in March 2026 – this is not just a regular model update, but a comprehensive technological leap forward for family travel scenarios. Based on announcements from the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and authoritative media reports, the 2026 Lixiang L9 achieves a leapfrog upgrade in four dimensions: power, intelligence, space, and experience. The top-of-the-line version will still be priced at 439,800 RMB, continuing the strategy of "more features without a price increase."

1. Basic Vehicle Configuration Parameters

2. Vehicle Upgrades

🔋 Battery and Charging: Saying goodbye to "charging anxiety"

73kWh large battery: Capacity increased by nearly 40%, pure electric range exceeds 400 kilometers, meeting the needs of a week of city commuting with zero fuel consumption.

5C ultra-fast charging technology: Coupled with Lixiang's self-built 800V ultra-fast charging network, charging speed is comparable to refueling a gasoline car, adding 400km+ of range in 11 minutes, significantly improving efficiency for long-distance travel.

Streamlined fuel tank: The fuel tank is reduced from 65L to 50L, but due to the improved thermal efficiency of the range extender, the comprehensive range remains stable at over 1400 kilometers, achieving "weight reduction without range reduction."

🚗 Chassis and Handling: A 5-meter-long car, as agile as a compact car

Rear-wheel steering system: Introduced to the L9 for the first time, the turning radius is reduced from 6.3 meters to within 5.5 meters, making U-turns in parking garages and navigating narrow roads effortless.

Upgraded dual-chamber air suspension: A new "baby mode" is added, reducing body sway by 40% when going over speed bumps, significantly improving comfort for elderly passengers and children in the rear seats.

Active chassis control: Millisecond-level response to road changes, balancing sportiness and comfort, reducing body roll by 24% during cornering.

🧠 Intelligent Cockpit: Sci-fi level interactive experience

Integrated ultra-large screen: The separate screens are completely eliminated, and the central control and passenger entertainment screens are integrated into a seamless large screen covered with a single piece of glass, providing a smooth interaction experience like an iPad Pro. Qualcomm 8797 Chip: Computing power increased by over 50%, the "Lixiang" voice assistant responds faster, and supports multi-turn semantic understanding and multi-screen interaction.

Intelligent Driving Chip Upgrade: The self-developed M100 chip is deployed for the first time, with computing power and energy efficiency surpassing Nvidia Thor-U, supporting more complex embodied intelligence decision-making models.

Enhanced Perception Capabilities: Can identify construction cones 500 meters away, automatically planning avoidance routes, and covering a wider range of urban NOA scenarios.

🏡 Home Experience: Attention to Detail

Second-row Zero-Gravity Seats: 18-point hot stone massage + electric leg rest, providing a first-class travel experience on long journeys.

8.8L Onboard Refrigerator: Dual cooling/heating modes, allowing for easy switching between cold drinks and hot soups.

Third-row Heating + USB Ports: 12 Type-C ports are standard throughout the vehicle, meeting the charging needs of all family members' electronic devices.

Improved Sound Insulation: The new generation range extender features a composite sound insulation cover, reducing idle noise to as low as 35 decibels, comparable to a library environment.

3. Vehicle Price and Market Positioning

Compared to Competitors: The ATIO M9 top-of-the-line model is priced at over 500,000 RMB, and the LYNK&CO 900 is expected to start at 450,000+ RMB. The 2026 Lixiang L9 offers the lowest price in its class, providing the largest battery, fastest charging, most flexible handling, and strongest cockpit, making it the "ultimate answer for a family flagship SUV."
