Li Auto L9 Ushers in the Second Half of Embodied Intelligence

[Technical Breakthrough] The all-new Li Auto L9 has launched, defining the industry's first flagship SUV with embodied intelligence.

Core Strategic Shift: Autonomous Driving Is the First Half; Humanoid Robots Are the Second Half

On May 13, during "Luo Yonghao’s Crossroads," Li Xiang clearly stated that autonomous driving and general-purpose humanoid robots represent a sequential progression—the perception, decision-making, and control capabilities developed through autonomous driving will form the technological foundation for humanoid robots. He emphasized: “Not doing AI is the real risk.”

Key Specifications: Comprehensive Upgrades Across Three Core Areas

The all-new Li Auto L9, launched on May 15, features a full-by-wire chassis + 800V active suspension, a self-developed Mach M100 chip, and a third-generation range extender + 5C high-capacity battery, achieving critical advancements in chassis, chip, and battery technologies.

Strategic Foundation: Using a New Map to Discover a New Continent

In response to skepticism about “trying to become Toyota first,” Li Xiang replied: “You can’t reach a new continent with an old-world map.” Backed by a decade of technological accumulation, Li Auto is betting big on the embodied intelligence track, aiming to simultaneously validate both premium extended-range and pure electric pathways, and establish a new benchmark for China’s automotive premiumization.
