Key updates include a new, self-developed 96 kilowatt-hour (kWh) battery offering a range of up to 780 kilometers on a single charge. The vehicle also supports 5C ultra-fast charging technology for significantly reduced charging times. It will feature an electric tailgate for easier loading and unloading, with adjustable height settings for user convenience.

The car also incorporates a larger 29-inch 6K panoramic screen at the front and a 21-inch 4K entertainment display for rear passengers.
Li Auto has also upgraded the vehicle's computing power with two new chips: the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8797 for smooth interaction and the company's self-developed Mach M100 chip, boasting 1280 TOPS of computing power for advanced driver-assistance systems. The vehicle is scheduled for an official launch on October 28, with deliveries expected to commence in early November.
