It is Li Auto's flagship six-seat family SUV, using range-extender power to combine long-distance range with everyday electric driving.

Li Auto L9 price in China

Official guide prices in China (CNY), with US dollars at 6.72 CNY per USD (2026-10-06). Our export price (FOB) is shown above.

VersionChina guide price≈ USD
MY2026 Ultra¥459,800≈ US$68,400
MY2026 Livis¥509,800≈ US$75,900

Source: Autohome specifications (series 6576) · Last checked 2026-10-27

The FOB price includes the export licence, new-car export formalities (registration and deregistration), inland transport to the port, port charges and the export inspection — which is why it is above the China price.

How to buy the Li Auto L9 from China

  1. Choose the version and colour.
  2. A licensed Chinese exporter sends you a written quote.
  3. Sign the contract; you pay only after signing.
  4. Inspect the car, or see it on a video call, before it ships.
  5. It ships by RoRo or container and is delivered to you (DAP); a local customs agent clears it.

In the EU or the UK? We only export to private buyers for their own use, not to dealers. A China-market car needs individual approval (IVA) in your country before it can be registered — cost and time vary by country; EU import duty is 10%, plus your country's VAT. If a model can't get approval, we tell you straight away.

Li Auto L9 buyer questions

How much does the Li Auto L9 cost in China, and what would it cost me?

The 2026 L9 launched on 15 May 2026 at RMB 459,800 (Ultra) and RMB 509,800 (Livis) (CarNewsChina, 2026-05-15). That is not an export price: shipping, export formalities, import duty and taxes come on top. CRAVEUO EV Export gives a written quote per order.

What is the range of the Li Auto L9?

The L9 is a range-extender with a 72.7 kWh battery: 420 km on electricity alone and 1,650 km combined on the CLTC cycle (CarNewsChina, 2026-05-15). CLTC is a Chinese test cycle, so real-world range is usually lower. Longer trips use petrol.

Can I import the Li Auto L9 into my country?

It depends on your country's import and registration rules and on supply. Export availability depends on the brand's authorised exporters — ask us to check before you plan a purchase. The China-market Li Auto L9 is left-hand drive. Send us your country and we will check.

Does a China-spec Li Auto L9 come with a warranty abroad?

Warranty terms depend on the sales contract and on the exporting company. The brand's own warranty may not apply outside China, and CRAVEUO EV Export is not an authorised dealer of Li Auto. We state the warranty position in writing before you sign, so ask before you order.

Which charger does a China-spec Li Auto L9 use?

China-market cars use GB/T sockets for AC and DC charging; Li Auto quotes 5C charging and 10-80% in 10 minutes (CarNewsChina, 2026-05-15). Many other markets use Type 2 (AC) and CCS2 (DC), so an adapter may be needed (Akyga, 2025-08-27). Check local rules, and ask us which version you would receive.

Which charging plug does the Li Auto L9 have?

China-market cars use the GB/T plug. Check which plug your country's chargers use: you may need an adapter or a home charger that fits. Tell us your country and we'll confirm it for your version.

Does the Li Auto L9's warranty apply outside China?

The maker's warranty is a China warranty and may not apply in your country. Warranty terms are agreed in each contract. CRAVEUO is not a dealer and does not provide after-sales service.

Who repairs it, and where do parts come from?

We don't run workshops. Before you order, ask a local workshop whether it can service the car. For some models our parts service can quote parts shipped from China.

How long does delivery of the Li Auto L9 take?

It depends on stock and shipping. The delivery time is the one in your quote and contract; we don't promise dates in advance.

How do I pay safely?

After signing the contract and seeing the VIN and a same-day walk-around video, you pay a deposit (usually 30%) and the balance before shipping, only to the company account named in the contract.

Can I see the car before I pay?

Yes: we send its VIN and a walk-around video filmed that day, and a video call can be arranged when possible.

What about import tax and registration?

Duties, taxes and registration are set by your country. The estimate on this page is a guide; a licensed customs broker in your country confirms them.

Does the Li Auto L9's infotainment come in my language?

China-market cars come with China-market software; languages and online services vary. We confirm them for your version before you order.
