On June 23, 2026, Li Auto officially launched the all-new 2026 Li Auto L8, positioned as a flagship extended-range SUV for families, featuring a spacious five-seat layout. The new model is available in two trim levels—Ultra and Livis—with official starting prices of RMB 369,800 and RMB 429,800, respectively. As a key model that brings Li Auto's flagship technologies to a broader market, the new L8 is the first to feature "Zero-Gravity" seats for all four main seating positions as standard across the lineup. It also incorporates a 5C ultra-fast charging battery, a drive-by-wire chassis, and an advanced intelligent driving system. By condensing the flagship experience of the "9-series" into a five-seat SUV, it offers a premium travel solution for global families that balances luxury comfort with long-distance range confidence.
The newly launched Li Auto L8 comes in two trim levels, with pricing and initial sales policies as follows:
Ultra Version: RMB 369,800
Livis Version: RMB 429,800
The all-new Li Auto L8 continues the brand's signature minimalist design language. The front fascia features a continuous "Star Ring" daytime running light and intelligent ADB matrix headlights. The side profile is characterized by clean, elongated lines, flush door handles, and a smooth roofline, achieving a balance between aerodynamic efficiency and a commanding, luxurious presence. The rear echoes the front with a continuous taillight design; the overall styling is minimalist yet imposing, befitting its status as a flagship family SUV.
In terms of dimensions, the new vehicle measures 5,135 mm in length, 2,000 mm in width, and 1,800 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3,045 mm—typical proportions for a large SUV. The spacious five-seat layout ensures ample room for both front and rear passengers, eliminating the need to compromise passenger comfort or cargo capacity for a third row of seats. Detailed features include capacitive anti-pinch electric doors, electric sunshades for side windows, and a welcome light carpet. Complemented by custom 285mm-wide Michelin silent tires, the vehicle creates a comprehensive sense of luxury and occasion, both inside and out.
Ride comfort is a key breakthrough for the all-new Li L8. It is the industry's first five-seat SUV to feature **four full-sized zero-gravity seats as standard across the entire lineup**, ensuring that passengers in both the front and rear rows enjoy the same high level of relaxation.
The seats utilize Li Auto’s proprietary "five-link adjustable Magic Carpet cushion" technology: the cushion has a standard length of 525mm and can be electrically extended to a maximum of 562mm, providing ample leg support. The backrest offers a maximum recline angle of 55 degrees, and when paired with a zero-pressure leg rest extending up to 420mm, it allows passengers to achieve a near-flat zero-gravity posture. The second row features a dual zero-gravity seat configuration; standard legroom is 970mm, which expands to 1,300mm when zero-gravity mode is fully deployed, allowing passengers to stretch out fully and relieve fatigue during long journeys.
Cabin comfort features are comprehensive: a standard 6-zone smart climate control system allows for precise temperature adjustments across front and rear rows as well as left and right zones, catering to the individual comfort needs of different passengers. A 10L smart electric refrigerator is included, supporting both cooling and heating functions to suit all-season needs. The cabin employs dual active noise cancellation technology, combined with double-layered acoustic laminated glass and custom silent tires, to create a "deep-sea level" quiet environment. The interior features extensive use of premium soft-touch materials, with craftsmanship and texture quality rivaling flagship models from luxury brands.
The intelligent cockpit is powered by the flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 8797 automotive chip, delivering robust computing power for the smooth execution of multitasking and complex applications. The center console features a 29-inch 6K panoramic display offering crisp visuals and fluid interaction, integrating functions such as navigation, multimedia, and vehicle controls. Customers who place an order during the initial sales period receive a complimentary 21-inch 4K rear-cabin mobile screen, supporting diverse use cases—from rear-seat entertainment to light office work—further enhancing the rear-seat experience. The audio system features the 4,720W "Star Ring Theater" audio setup; its multi-driver acoustic layout delivers an immersive surround-sound experience comparable to professional home theater systems.
In terms of intelligent driving, the new vehicle is equipped with the Mach M100 Ultra chip, boasting a total computing power of 1,280 TOPS. It supports advanced driver-assistance functions such as Highway NOA (Navigate on Autopilot) and Urban NOA, covering common scenarios like daily commuting and long-distance road trips. This effectively reduces driver fatigue during long journeys while enhancing overall driving safety.
The all-new Li L8 features a third-generation, in-house developed extended-range system paired with a 72.7 kWh 5C super-charging battery. Under the CLTC (China Light-Duty Vehicle Test Cycle) standard, it offers a pure electric range of 430 km—sufficient for the vast majority of daily urban commutes—allowing for zero-fuel, low-cost daily driving in pure electric mode. With a full tank and full charge, the combined CLTC range reaches 1,670 km, with a fuel consumption of just 6.2 L/100 km in extended-range mode (battery depleted), completely eliminating the range anxiety often associated with pure electric vehicles.
The 5C super-charging capability is another major technical highlight, significantly boosting DC fast-charging efficiency. It allows for substantial range recovery in a short time, meeting the need for quick top-ups during highway travel and further extending the vehicle's long-distance capabilities.
The two trim levels utilize distinct chassis architectures to cater to varying user preferences and driving scenarios:
Ultra Version
It comes standard with the third-generation "Magic Carpet" air suspension, featuring dual-chamber air springs and dual-valve dampers. It also incorporates steer-by-wire and rear-wheel steering systems, enabling this large SUV—measuring over 5 meters in length—to achieve a turning radius of just 5.1 meters, ensuring greater agility during U-turns and navigation through narrow roads. The air suspension automatically adjusts vehicle height and damping based on speed and road conditions, balancing high-speed stability with off-road capability, while delivering vibration isolation performance on par with flagship models from luxury brands.
Livis Edition
Equipped with an 800V fully active suspension system and an EMB (Electro-Mechanical Brake) system, the chassis delivers a response time of under 100 milliseconds. It precisely and rapidly detects road irregularities to adjust the vehicle's posture, further elevating handling limits and ride comfort to deliver a supreme, flagship-level driving experience.
As a major iteration from Li Auto—a brand deeply committed to the family travel market—the all-new Li Auto L8 features "Zero-Gravity Seat Parity" as its core differentiator. This innovation elevates the ride comfort of a spacious five-seat SUV to a new level, while the brand's mature extended-range technology eliminates range anxiety, and the drive-by-wire chassis combined with advanced intelligent driving systems enhances the overall travel experience. For families worldwide who seek luxury and prioritize convenience on long-distance journeys, the all-new Li Auto L8 offers a flagship-grade choice that seamlessly blends comfort, intelligence, and practicality.
