Li Auto delivered 37,679 cars in August, its first year-on-year growth in four months and its fastest in two years. The eight-month total is still 0.6% below last year's, and hitting the company's own third-quarter guidance now requires a September bigger than August.

China's car brands: who owns what
China's car market runs on a handful of giant groups, each fielding a stack of brands. Here is who owns what - the parent companies, the sub-brands, the Huawei alliance, and why the chart keeps changing.
Hybrid, MHEV, PHEV, EREV, EV: what each powertrain actually does
Six powertrains are on sale and three of them are called hybrids. What MHEV, HEV, PHEV, EREV and EV mean, how far each goes on its battery, and how to tell them apart.
About
Li Auto (理想汽车) is a Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer founded in 2015 by entrepreneur Li Xiang. Unlike most Chinese EV start-ups, the company built its early success almost entirely on extended-range electric vehicles (EREVs) - cars driven by electric motors but carrying a small petrol engine that acts solely as a generator to recharge the battery on long trips. This approach sidesteps range anxiety while keeping a usable electric driving range for daily commuting.
The brand focuses on large, technology-heavy family vehicles. The L-series - L6, L7, L8 and the flagship L9 - covers the mid-to-full-size SUV segment, typically with six-seat, two-plus-two-plus-two layouts aimed at Chinese families. In 2024 the company added the MEGA, a fully electric MPV, marking its first move beyond range-extender powertrains.
The L9 is the brand’s flagship. Launched in 2022, the first generation helped define the template for the modern Chinese premium SUV: three rows of seats, multiple displays, and a long list of comfort features at a price well below imported luxury rivals. Its second generation moves to an 800V architecture and adds steer-by-wire and four-wheel steering.
