CRAVEUO EV Export · Sources last checked 2026-10-26

Quick answer

The Geely Galaxy M9 is a six-seat plug-in hybrid with an 18.4 kWh or 41.46 kWh battery; the 2026 Li Auto L8 is a five-seat range-extender SUV with a 72.7 kWh battery. The L8 goes much further on electricity (430 km CLTC against 100–230 km), and the M9 has the extra row of seats.

Key facts

Which one fits

• More seats: the M9 seats six. The 2026 L8 seats five.
• More electric driving: the L8's 72.7 kWh battery gives 430 km of CLTC electric range, about twice the M9's longest.
• Model year matters for the L8: the earlier 2025 L8 was a six-seat car with a smaller battery (52.3 kWh in the Max trim). Confirm the model year in your quote.

Before you order either one

Check three things for your country: the charging inlet on the version you are quoted (China-market cars use GB/T), the steering side your country registers, and your country's import rules for plug-in hybrids and range extenders, which are often treated differently.
