The Chinese startup Li Auto has not officially even started exporting its cars yet, but due to parallel imports it has already become the leader of the premium segment in Russia. Crossovers of the new Lixiang brand (read "Lisyan") are sold in thousands in Russia every month.
The reason for the success is excellent performance, very spacious interior, rich equipment and reasonable price. You can evaluate the advantages of Lixiang cars by renting the flagship L9 crossover.
The L9 is a hybrid in which a gasoline engine serves as an electric power generator. Thanks to this, the machine combines the convenience of traction control and the power of an electric drive with the practicality of gasoline cars that can be refueled anywhere.In fully electric mode, the L9 drives more than 200 kilometers, and with a full tank, this figure exceeds 1000 km. At the same time, a large car with three rows of seats is not slow at all: it accelerates to 100 km/h in 5.3 seconds.
