As a prospective Xiaomi SU7 owner, I decisively gave up on Xiaomi and switched to the Li Auto L6. The decision turned out to be absolutely right! It comes fully equipped with a refrigerator, screen, and large sofa seats, features two-wheel drive with air suspension, and is 40,000 RMB cheaper than my planned SU7 Pro.
At the beginning of the year, I was waiting for the refreshed Model Y, but after its release, I really didn’t like the minimalist feel. Then, I waited for the SU7, got influenced by certain marketing hype, and placed a blind order. However, after seeing the actual car, I started having second thoughts. Unfortunately, the order was already locked, so I had to leave it for the time being. When the Li Auto L6 was released, I absolutely fell in love with it. Many Li Auto L-series owners around me recommended it, so I placed another blind order. This time, I wasn’t disappointed—I got it for 255,000 RMB. As one of the first batch of owners, I managed to get the invoice dated October 10th, qualifying for a 19,000 RMB subsidy from Shanghai and the Pudong district.
The driving experience is truly on par with the L-series. It feels more compact than the L-series and more comfortable than the Model Y. The acceleration is very linear, reminiscent of a large-displacement naturally aspirated engine, with power available at any moment. My city driving energy consumption is around 12 kWh/100km, which is quite efficient. The interior space is unmatched in its class, and the storage space is also top-tier. Its assisted driving is among the best in the industry. Personally, I recommend using it for following other cars and in light traffic conditions, as lane-changing decisions are still far from human-like judgment—something no automaker has fully achieved yet.
The L6 is truly a fantastic family car. If your family plans to buy only one car, you could go for the L8. However, if you plan to have two cars, I highly recommend the L6 paired with a hybrid MPV—it’s the perfect combination for a family! In a few years, I plan to replace my other gasoline car with an MPV—one for city commuting and the other for long trips. Of course, the Li Auto L6 is also suitable for long journeys, as Li Auto has an extensive network of supercharging stations with dedicated 5C chargers, offering fast charging and minimal waiting times.
