Lixiang i6 Pro with a range of 720 kilometres, targeting the Model Y L to reach the high-end market.

Li AUTO's new all-electric mid-size SUV, the Lixiang i6, has been confirmed to be officially launched in September this year. The new car is positioned as a five-seat mid-size SUV with an expected price range of $28,571 to $42,857, and will compete directly with the upcoming Tesla Model Y L.

In terms of appearance, the Lixiang i6 adopts the latest design language of the Lixiang i series family, with both a sense of sportiness and large space. The front face is equipped with split light clusters, the star ring LED daytime running lights are placed below the front windshield, and the high and low beams are integrated with the ventilation openings of the front surroundings, making the overall visual effect very futuristic. In addition, the new car also adopts a two-color body design, which enhances recognition and a sense of sophistication.

In terms of dimensions, the Lixiang i6 has a length, width and height of 4950/1935/1655mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 3000mm, making the interior space performance worth looking forward to. The wheels are available in 20-inch and 21-inch specifications.

In terms of electric performance, Lixiang i6 is based on the 800V high-voltage pure electric platform, and the whole system is equipped with the new generation 5C lithium iron phosphate battery as standard, and the official data shows that charging for 10 minutes can replenish energy for 500 kilometers, which dramatically shortens the time of replenishment. In the power part, i6 will provide single motor rear drive version and dual motor four-wheel drive version, with maximum power of 250kW (rear drive) and 400kW (four-wheel drive) respectively.

It is worth mentioning that Tesla officially previewed the upcoming Model Y L version on July 16, which is expected to be released in the fall. In this regard, Li auto CEO Li want to respond: "respectable six-seat pure electric SUV is here, focusing on $28,571–$42,857 point of six-seat users can look forward to it. Of course, if the car demand is five seats, welcome to pay attention to the Lixiang i6 released in September.“ He also said that Lixiang will still promote the new car through the conventional release path, unlike Tesla, which ”directly sells on the official website".

With the successive debuts of the Lixiang i6 and Model Y L, the competition in the USD 28571-42857 pure-electric SUV market will enter a new round of white-hot stage. Whether the i6 can stand out with its ultra-fast replenishment capability, 800V platform and comfortable positioning for families is worth looking forward to.
