Li Auto L9 Livis Flagship SUV Launches from ¥559,800 with In-House Chip Offering 3x NVIDIA's Compute Power

Li Auto has officially unveiled its new flagship SUV—the Li L9 Livis—priced at RMB 559,800, set to debut in the second quarter of this year. Representing the culmination of a decade of Li Auto’s technological advancements, the L9 Livis is not only a smart electric vehicle but also the first embodiment of the company’s embodied AI robotics strategy. The vehicle is equipped with two self-developed 5nm “Dual Mach 10” chips, delivering a total computing power of 2,560 TOPS—three times that of NVIDIA’s Thor-U chip. It features a 360-degree LiDAR system, an 800V fully active suspension, and a “complete” drive-by-wire chassis—the industry’s first to integrate steer-by-wire, four-wheel steering, and globally pioneering fully electric mechanical braking (EMB). The intelligent cabin will be upgraded with Qualcomm’s next-generation chip, while the enlarged body houses a 70 kWh battery pack and 5C ultra-fast charging technology, enabling a pure electric range exceeding 400 kilometers. It also adopts a next-generation range extender with higher thermal efficiency. Li Xiang, founder and CEO of Li Auto, describes the L9 Livis as a “living, intelligent companion.”
