October 12, the 2026 Paris Motor Show kicked off, with the pure-electric mid-size SUV i6 from Li Auto making its European debut. The new car was named Li 6 in the overseas market. In terms of its overseas rollout plans, Li Auto will officially enter the European market in the first quarter of 2027, with the Li 6 launching and going into delivery in Norway and the Netherlands first. It will then gradually expand to other European countries. At the same time, Li Auto emphasized that it plans to introduce plug-in hybrid models in Europe and will conduct deep localizations in both hardware and software to provide users with more choices. Li Xiang, Chairman and CEO of Li Auto, said that Li Auto’s connection with Paris is deeper than many people think. Back in 2015, when Li Auto was still known as "Car and Home," its first product, SEV, was designed with the L6e standard for Europe in mind from the very beginning. At that time, it also announced plans for shared mobility in Paris and San Francisco. Ten years later, Li Auto is bringing a product that is better prepared for the European market. On October 12, Li Xiang responded to "Li Auto’s slow overseas expansion" and stated that Li Auto will continue to tailor its products to different markets and will only launch products that are ready for the market. As of now, the company established its first overseas R&D center in Munich in January 2021. In July this year, Li Auto launched the Li Auto L9 in Central Asia, where it is widely recognized for its lack of charging infrastructure. According to Li Auto’s official introduction, the i6 has cumulatively delivered over 190,000 units in China in the first year of its release, ranking among the top three in terms of pure electric vehicle sales in the 200,000 yuan and above segment for eight consecutive months. Considering the European cities with narrow streets, tight parking spaces, and the commonality of cross-border driving, the Li i6 is designed to offer more flexible body shapes, comfortable spaces, and intelligent experiences to suit European family travel needs. Here is a brief overview of the key features of the 2026 model of Li Auto’s i6: The exterior of the vehicle has undergone local optimizations, with the front bumper design matching that of the current Li L9 and Li i9. It continues the brand’s family design. The new model comes equipped with the same IDEMIA Mega headlights as the Li MEGA, features a half-hidden door handle compliant with new national standards, and supports voice, remote, and physical tapping to open the electric front trunk. According to the vehicle’s official specifications, the 2026 model of Li Auto’s i6 has a length of 4950mm, a width of 1935mm, and a height of 1655mm, with a wheelbase of 3000mm. It offers two wheel sizes: 20-inch and 21-inch. In terms of the interior, the 2026 model of Li Auto’s i6 adopts the latest design language from Li Auto. It features a larger screen, with a 29-inch 6K panoramic screen in the front and a 21-inch 4K entertainment screen for the second row. The new model also offers a pair of zero gravity seats in the front, which can recline to 150 degrees and feature 18 points of massage for the back, waist, and buttocks. The second-row seats also feature a 140-degree recline angle and a comfortable legrest. In addition, the 2026 model of Li Auto’s i6 includes upgrades such as the use of Qualcomm Snapdragon 8797 in the cabin, which enhances voice, navigation, and audio interactions; the use of Li Auto’s self-developed M100 chip, which provides 1280 TOPS computing power for safer and more efficient autonomous driving; and the use of Li Auto’s self-developed complete battery system, which covers the entire value chain from cell, pack, and BMS, with a 96 kWh battery providing a CLTC range of 780 kilometers, and supports 5C ultra-fast charging. In terms of power, the 2026 model of Li Auto’s i6 offers both single-motor and dual-motor versions. The single-motor version has a maximum power output of 250 kW, while the dual-motor version has front and rear motors with maximum power outputs of 150 kW and 250 kW, respectively.
