In China, the first electric crossover Li Auto debuts

The LI (Lixiang) brand in Russia is preparing to present in the homeland I8-a five-meter six-seater all-around, similar, rather, to cross-wen. It will probably show him live at the Shanghai Motor Show next week, but the Chinese Ministry of Industry has already revealed the appearance and characteristics of the novelty. And the manufacturer himself announced the approximate cost – about 400 thousand yuan (4.5 million rubles).

In motion, the LI Auto i8 will be installed with two electric motors. Located on the front axle will give out 204 horsepower, on the back – 279. The total return will reach the impressive 536 forces, but the maximum speed will be limited to electronics at the level of 180 kilometers per hour.

In terms of dimensions, the electric car is slightly inferior to Volkswagen Tramont: the length exceeds five meters, the height and width are 1.96 and 1.74 meters, respectively, at a 3.05-meter wheelbase. The equipment is 2610 kilograms.

LI Auto (Lixiang) cars are still delivered to the Russian market in parallel imports, but already in 2025 this should change. Sinomach Auto, which carries Oting and Rox in the Russian Federation, signed an agreement on strategic cooperation. That is, LI will soon begin to offer the Russians officially – with a guarantee and service support.
