In early November 2026, CATARC Automotive Test Center (CATARC) announced the latest results of the China Green Car Assessment Program (C-GCAP). The all-new Li L9 earned five-star+ certifications in three dimensions—health, energy efficiency, and low carbon—and set the highest score since the implementation of the 2024 revised evaluation regulations. The evaluation system is led by CATARC. The current 2024 revision adds assessment items in the health section, including eco-friendly materials, particulate matter purification, and electromagnetic protection for special groups. It also establishes an evaluation framework for plug-in hybrid models, including extended-range vehicles, that measures energy consumption from both fuel and electricity dimensions, and incorporates full life-cycle carbon emissions into the scope of assessment. In the healthy cabin assessment, the all-new Li L9 set the highest score under the revised regulations in this section, achieving a perfect score in the particulate matter purification item. Under both normal room temperature and high-temperature exposure test conditions, the vehicle's interior formaldehyde emissions were below one-sixteenth of the national standard limit. CATARC used a full-spectrum dome environmental chamber to simulate outdoor vehicle use scenarios to verify cabin air quality. The all-new Li L9 passed the test and became one of the first models to receive the "Healthy Ark" certification. The leather supplier selected for the vehicle's interior has received Leather Working Group Gold certification, and eco-friendly dyes are used throughout production; the door panels, armrests, and other parts use solvent-free eco-friendly synthetic leather that has passed OEKO-TEX baby-level safety certification. In terms of electromagnetic protection, Li Auto set up over a thousand electromagnetic compatibility test cases throughout the entire R&D cycle, and reserved electromagnetic safety distances for groups such as the elderly and children during the vehicle layout stage. The all-new Li L9 received the "Human Electromagnetic Health Star" special certification. In the cabin thermal environment test, the vehicle is equipped with a third-generation thermal management system and intelligent airflow-linked temperature control technology. In the energy efficiency dimension, the all-new Li L9 is equipped with a self-developed third-generation range extender with a maximum thermal efficiency of 43%; the wide-range exhaust gas recirculation technology has a minimum operating temperature of minus 10 degrees Celsius; and the self-developed five-in-one electric drive architecture achieves a comprehensive efficiency of 94.8% in power generation conditions. In the low-carbon section, the all-new Li L9 achieved a perfect score. During the design phase, components such as recycled aluminum motor housings and bio-based biodegradable materials were adopted; in the production phase, green electricity is used through the factory's photovoltaic project. Currently, all models on sale under Li Auto have obtained the highest-level C-GCAP certification. Going forward, Li Auto plans to continue advancing R&D in three directions: healthy cabins, energy efficiency optimization, and low-carbon technologies.
