Li Auto launched the rear-wheel-drive long-range variant of the Li Auto i8 on August 6, 2026, with a nationwide starting retail price of RMB 309,800. This mid-to-large all-electric SUV is equipped with a 97.8 kWh ternary lithium 5C ultra-fast charging battery, delivering a CLTC-rated range of 780 km and an energy consumption of 13.6 kWh per 100 km. The vehicle measures 5,085 mm in length, 1,960 mm in width, and 1,740 mm in height, with a drag coefficient of 0.218. It features welcome lighting carpets integrated into the side mirrors, chrome accents on the front fascia, semi-recessed door handles, and a newly added electric front trunk that supports automatic opening and closing, offering waterproof, dustproof, and odor-resistant capabilities, along with built-in lighting and a drainage outlet. Under the hood, the i8 comes standard with a dual-chamber "Magic Carpet" air suspension system, offering four height adjustment levels (ranging from a maximum of 196 mm to a minimum of 131 mm). The chassis employs a front double-wishbone and rear five-link fully aluminum suspension setup, complemented by four high-performance hydraulic bushings, achieving a torsional rigidity of 49,500 N·m/deg. For comfort, both driver and front passenger seats are standard full-size zero-gravity seats with 16-point kneading massage functions. The right-side second-row seat also features a zero-gravity design, with a leg rest extension angle of 78° and a maximum recline angle of 145°, controlled via physical buttons for ventilation, heating, and massage. The front cabin includes dual oversized vanity mirrors with stepless brightness and color temperature adjustment. In terms of safety, the vehicle earned G/G+/G+/G ratings under the China Insurance Automotive Safety Index (C-IASI) 2023 protocol. It features dual-release mechanisms—electronic and mechanical door handles—for enhanced safety and has received the China Automotive Health Index (C-AHI) 2025 Five-Star Healthy Vehicle certification.
