Li Auto i6 electric crossover launched in China for 35,010 USD
The Li Auto i6 was launched in China as a BEV 5-seat crossover with 720 km of range, 4WD, and a ceiling-mounted screen for 21.4 inches. It is available for purchase with a starting price of 249,800 yuan (35,010 USD).
Li Auto is the first Chinese NEV maker to become profitable thanks to a high sales volume of its range-extended crossovers. Last year, this brand started exploring the BEV segment with the launch of the Mega minivan. However, the Li’s first all-electric model fell short of expectations in terms of sales. In July 2025, Li Auto launched its second BEV model, which is the i8 6-seat SUV. It delivered 2,212 units last month, according to China EV DataTracker.
On September 26, the third Li-branded model entered the domestic market. It is the large 5-seat crossover called i6. This BEV has the highest market potential among other pure electric cars from Li Auto, primarily due to its moderate price range.
