Chinese electric vehicle brand Li Auto is preparing to enter the Vietnamese market with four large SUVs: the L6, L8, L9 and i6.
The L6, L8 and L9 will use range-extended electric vehicle (REEV or EREV) powertrains, while the i6 will be a battery-electric vehicle. The models are expected to launch in December 2026 or January 2027, according to Hoang Chi Trung, General Director of Li Auto Vietnam.
The manufacturer has disclosed the specifications and configurations intended for Vietnam. The models are expected to retain their Chinese-market equipment packages, although official launch dates and retail prices have yet to be announced.
L6
The entry-level L6 Ultra measures 4,935 x 1,960 x 1,735 mm, with a 2,920 mm wheelbase and a five-seat layout. It will compete with the BMW X3 (from VND 2.3 billion (US$ 89,960)), Mercedes-Benz GLC (from VND 2.32 billion for the GLC 200 4Matic) and Volvo XC60 (from VND 2.3 billion for the mild hybrid and VND 2.75 billion for the plug-in hybrid). Vietnam currently has no direct REEV competitor, although the XC60 plug-in hybrid has a comparable electrified powertrain configuration.
The L6 uses a 51 kWh LFP battery, supporting fast charging from 20%-80% in 12 minutes, alongside a 1.5-litre turbocharged range-extender engine and a 50-litre fuel tank. Its claimed electric range is 245 km, while the combined range is 1,040 km under the WLTC standard. It also supports 3.5 kW vehicle-to-load (V2L) functionality.
The dual-motor four-wheel-drive system produces 408 PS and 529 Nm, comprising a 177 PS/220 Nm front motor and a 231 PS/309 Nm rear motor. Acceleration from 0-100 km/h takes 5.4 seconds. The suspension features aluminium double-wishbone front and five-link rear arrangements with CDC dual-valve shock absorbers.
Equipment includes a 29-inch 6K panoramic front screen, a head-up display (HUD), a 19-speaker audio system (with an optional 21-speaker setup), front seats with an 18-point massage function, an on-board refrigerator and 20-inch wheels (with 21-inch wheels optional). The interior has a brown-and-white two-tone finish, while a 21-inch 4K rear entertainment screen is optional. Driver assistance equipment comprises a self-developed 1,280 TOPS chip, front LiDAR, millimetre-wave radar, seven 8-megapixel cameras and a 360-degree camera system.
L8
The L8 measures 5,135 x 2,000 x 1,800 mm, with a 3,045 mm wheelbase and five seats in a 2-3 layout. The L8 Ultra and L8 Livis will be offered. Competitors include the BMW X5 (from VND 4.16 billion), Mercedes-Benz GLE 400 e 4Matic plug-in hybrid (VND 4.67 billion), Volvo XC90 (VND 3.29 billion-3.71 billion) and Lexus RX (VND 3.35 billion-4.94 billion). These models use conventional or plug-in hybrid powertrains, with no direct REEV equivalent currently available.
The L8 has a 72.7 kWh NCM battery with 5C charging, taking the charge level from 10%-80% in 10 minutes. Its 1.5-litre, self-developed turbocharged range-extender engine is paired with a 60-litre fuel tank. Claimed WLTC electric and combined ranges are 353 km and 1,385 km, respectively, with combined fuel consumption of 6.5 litres per 100 km.
Its dual-motor four-wheel-drive system produces 571 PS and 710 Nm, with a 197 PS/265 Nm front motor and a 374 PS/445 Nm rear motor. Acceleration to 100 km/h takes 4.8 seconds. The L8 Livis has an 800V active suspension system, while the Ultra uses third-generation Magic Carpet air suspension.
Equipment includes a 29-inch 6K panoramic screen, a 21-inch 4K rear entertainment display, HUD, a 27-speaker audio system, massage seats and a 10-litre heating and cooling refrigerator. It comes with 21-inch wheels, with 22-inch units available as an option.
The Livis has two self-developed driver assistance chips with a combined computing capacity of 2,560 TOPS, front LiDAR, two side solid-state LiDARs and rear LiDAR. The Ultra uses a single 1,280 TOPS chip and front LiDAR. Both variants have nine short-range radars, seven 8-megapixel cameras and four 360-degree cameras.
L9
The flagship L9 measures 5,255 x 2,000 x 1,810 mm, with a 3,125 mm wheelbase and six seats in a 2-2-2 layout. The L9 Ultra and L9 Livis will compete with the BMW X7 (from VND 6.2 billion), Mercedes-Benz GLS (from VND 5.69 billion) and Lexus GX 550 (from VND 6.4 billion). There is currently no direct competitor combining an equivalent six-seat configuration with an electrified powertrain.
Sharing the L8's powertrain, the L9 uses a 72.7 kWh battery with 5C charging, taking the charge level from 10%-80% in 10 minutes, and a 60-litre fuel tank. Its 571 PS twin-motor system enables acceleration from 0-100 km/h in 4.9 seconds. Claimed WLTC electric and combined ranges are 350 km and 1,370 km, respectively.
Compared with the L8, the L9 adds a 33-speaker audio system, Snapdragon 8797 Max-powered infotainment, a 29-inch 6K panoramic display, a 21-inch 4K rear entertainment screen, HUD, a 10-litre refrigerator and twin panoramic sunroofs. The Livis has 800V active suspension, while the Ultra uses third-generation Magic Carpet air suspension. Wheel options are 21 and 22 inches.
The L9 Livis also has dual driver assistance chips with a combined computing capacity of 2,560 TOPS, front, side and rear LiDARs, and 10 short-range radars.
i6
Unlike the other three models, the i6 is a battery-electric SUV available with two-wheel drive (2WD) or four-wheel drive (4WD). Its Vietnam specifications are yet to be finalised following its China debut in early November, although its arrival is scheduled by December 2026.
The i6 measures 4,950 x 1,935 x 1,655 mm, with a 3,000 mm wheelbase and five seats. Its 96 kWh battery supports 5C fast charging and was developed in-house, including the cells, battery pack and battery management system (BMS). The 2026 model uses 5C cells sourced from Sunwoda and CALB. The claimed range is 780 km under the CLTC standard, equivalent to approximately 632 km under WLTP.
The rear-wheel-drive version has a single 335 PS motor, while the four-wheel-drive version combines a 201 PS front motor and a 335 PS rear motor to produce 536 PS.
Equipment includes matrix headlights, an electric front boot, front 'zero gravity' seats reclining by up to 150 degrees, a 29-inch 6K panoramic front screen and a 21-inch 4K rear entertainment screen. The i6 uses a Qualcomm 8797 chip alongside Li Auto's self-developed Mach M100 chip and offers 20-inch or 21-inch wheels. Its front-end design follows that of the L9 and i9, while the exterior features semi-flush door handles.
The L6, L8 and L9 will use range-extended electric vehicle (REEV or EREV) powertrains, while the i6 will be a battery-electric vehicle. The models are expected to launch in December 2026 or January 2027, according to Hoang Chi Trung, General Director of Li Auto Vietnam.
