BEIJING, China, Dec. 01, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Li Auto Inc. (“Li Auto” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: LI; HKEX: 2015), a leader in China’s new energy vehicle market, today announced that the Company delivered 41,030 vehicles in November 2023, representing an increase of 172.9% year over year. Cumulative year-to-date deliveries of Li Auto vehicles reached 325,677 as of the end of November 2023, achieving its 2023 target of 300,000 vehicles ahead of schedule.
Xiang Li, chairman and chief executive officer of Li Auto, commented, “Bolstered by the strong growth momentum of our three Li L series models, our monthly deliveries have exceeded 40,000 vehicles for two consecutive months, the highest among Chinese emerging new energy automakers and premium brands in China, making us the best-selling brand among SUVs priced above RMB300,000 in China. Li L9, Li L8, and Li L7 have each surpassed the 100,000 cumulative delivery benchmark, and maintained a leading position in their respective segments. In November, Li Auto achieved its full-year delivery target ahead of time. Propelled by the growing market demand, we will continue to strive for a 50,000 monthly delivery target in December with ample preparations in sales, supply, production, and delivery capabilities.”
“Li Auto has made significant progress in the research and development of autonomous driving, and plans to accelerate the rollout of AD Max 3.0 through the upgrade of OTA version 5.0 in December. With this upgrade, our AD Max 3.0 will provide full scenario autonomous driving (Navigation on ADAS) and assisted driving (lane change control) functions, as well as the industry’s leading AEB active safety system and automated parking system. Additionally, Li Xiang Tong Xue, the updated smart in-car voice assistant based on our self-developed large model, will not only function as a reliable assistant in driving, travel, and entertainment, but also serve as an encyclopedic teacher for younger passengers. Furthermore, we developed a brand-new AC Eco mode by leveraging our self-developed thermal management system and the powerful algorithmic capabilities of our XCU controller. As such, the driving range on battery can be increased by 15% to 20% during the winter.”
As of November 30, 2023, the Company had 398 retail stores in 136 cities, as well as 320 servicing centers and Li Auto-authorized body and paint shops operating in 209 cities.
