The Li One (Chinese: 理想ONE; pinyin: Lǐxiǎng ONE; lit. 'ideal one') is a luxury mid-size crossover sport utility vehicle produced by Chinese manufacturer Li Auto. It is the first production vehicle from the manufacturer.

As of 2021, it had the second-longest electric range of any plug-in hybrid in the world (180 km in the NEDC cycle) after the BMW i3 120 Ah REx (203 km in the EPA cycle).

History

[edit]

The One was presented in April 2019 at the Shanghai Auto Show. It has been in series production in Changzhou since November 2019. The first vehicles were delivered in China from early 2020.[1][2] After three years on the Chinese market, the Li One was discontinued in October 2022 to make way for the newer Li L8.[3]

Specifications

[edit]

The vehicle can be described as a range extended vehicle or as a plug-in hybrid. It has two electric motors: a 100 kW (134 hp; 136 PS) motor in the front and a 140 kW (188 hp; 190 PS) motor in the rear. It is also equipped with a front-mounted 1.2-litre turbocharged 3-cylinder petrol engine with a 45 litres (11.9 US gal; 9.9 imp gal) petrol tank capacity. The newer face-lifted model has a gas tank of 55 litres (14.5 US gal; 12.1 imp gal). The petrol engine is a range extender for the electric motors; it does not directly power the wheels.

Total power output is 240 kW (322 hp; 326 PS) and 530 N⋅m (391 lb⋅ft; 54.0 kg⋅m). The company claims a NEDC range of 700 km (430 mi). The facelifted model has a NEDC range of 800 km (500 mi), and an electric-only NEDC range of 180 km (110 mi).

Charging to 80% takes 40 minutes with a fast charger. A full charge at 200V takes 6 hours. Battery capacity is 40.6 kWh (146 MJ), out of which 37.2 kWh (134 MJ) is usable.

It is a sport utility vehicle, available with six or seven seats in three rows.[1] The interior has several screens, and the infotainment system runs on Android Auto, powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820A processor. The Li Xiang One will be equipped with a Level 2 Autonomous Driving system.[4]

Competing models include the BYD Tang plug-in hybrid, the BYD Tang 600/600D and the NIO ES8 (although the first one has a considerably smaller battery, and the two others are not plug-in hybrids but pure electric vehicles with much larger batteries).

The combination of a small internal combustion engine with a battery that is noticeably larger than in most plug-in hybrids resembles that of the BMW i3 REx.

Sales

[edit]

As of 1 April 2021, the vehicle sold in over 45,000 units in China since its market debut.

Among those plug-in vehicles that retain an internal combustion engine (i.e., among plug-in hybrids and range extenders), the best-selling vehicle in China was the Li One, both in 2020 and in Q1 2021.[5][6]
