Initial 400km Experience with the Li Auto L6
On the first day of picking up the car, I drove from Shanghai to Liyang.
Here are some thoughts on the L6:
**Range:** Started with 99%, estimated to arrive at 27%, but actually traveled 362km and arrived with 22% remaining. Due to temporary plates, I drove a bit recklessly, so energy consumption was relatively high. The air conditioning was set at 25°C throughout the trip. On wet roads, it accelerated sharply at 120km/h with ample power, experiencing slight wheel slip but quickly correcting itself. On dry roads, noise suppression at high speeds was excellent!
**Chassis:** The driving feel is undeniably premium—truly high-end! It strikes a perfect balance between an SUV and a sedan. The air suspension at its lowest setting looks great!
**NVH:** Unbelievably quiet! It feels like driving at 80km/h when actually going 120km/h.
**Autonomous Driving:** Even without VLA, it’s already very capable. The only downside is the frequent prompts to take over control. During heavy rain, when others could barely see and had their hazard lights on, the L6’s autonomous driving system overtook cars effortlessly... Lidar really gives it superior vision.
**Audio System:** My model doesn’t have the Platinum package, but the karaoke feature without a microphone works very well.
**Drawbacks:** There’s still a new car smell inside, and since it was raining, I couldn’t ventilate the cabin, making it a bit stuffy. Don’t push the rear-wheel drive to its limits—it can still slip! If possible, go for the four-wheel drive option. The larger wheels, costing over 20,000, are worth it.
**Summary:**
Li Auto, known for its family-friendly vehicles, has surprisingly excelled in sportiness and driving dynamics. Combined with its charging network and pricing, it’s bound to be a hit. The only thing you’ll need to accept is its unconventional exterior and interior design, but that’s also part of its original charm. From following the Li Auto One since 2019, we’ve finally got our ideal car.
