Li L9 Achieves Best-in-Class 1.7L/100km Fuel Consumption in Range-Extended EV Test

Recently, the Li Auto L9 Livis ranked first among range-extended electric vehicles in a real-world energy consumption test. The test was conducted on May 18 under partly cloudy skies with temperatures ranging from 17°C to 28°C. The vehicle was set to 24°C cabin temperature (automatic fan speed level 3) in "EV Priority" mode, equipped with 22-inch wheels, 285-width tires, and tire pressure at 2.5 bar. The test covered multiple driving conditions, including pure electric, city driving with depleted battery, and highway driving with depleted battery. Starting with a full tank of fuel and a fully charged battery, the vehicle traveled a total of 684.0 km at an average speed of 56 km/h, achieving a measured combined fuel consumption of 1.7 L/100 km. In pure electric mode, with an average speed of 58 km/h, the vehicle achieved a real-world EV range of 460.9 km, with a displayed energy consumption of 14.4 kWh/100 km. In urban commuting conditions—averaging 34 km/h over a distance of 107.4 km—the measured fuel consumption with a depleted battery was 4.7 L/100 km. On the highway, at an average speed of 84 km/h over 115.7 km, the measured fuel consumption with a depleted battery was 5.7 L/100 km. The L9 Livis is powered by Li Auto’s self-developed range-extender engine, which features an expanded high-efficiency thermal operating range, enabling stable operation within its optimal efficiency zone across all driving scenarios—from low-speed city driving to high-speed cruising. Additionally, energy losses along the power generation-to-drive chain have been optimized, improving the overall efficiency of converting fuel into electricity and reducing fuel consumption when the battery is depleted. Combined with a large-capacity battery pack and refined control logic, the vehicle delivers optimized performance for both daily all-electric commuting and efficient long-distance travel.
