# Li L7

The Li L7 (Chinese: 理想L7; pinyin: Lǐxiǎng L7; lit. 'ideal L7') is a luxury mid-size crossover SUV produced by Chinese manufacturer Li Auto. It is the fourth vehicle from the manufacturer, and also the third L-series model, a series of electric SUVs with a petrol engine acting as a range extender, which includes the similar L9, L8 and L6.

## Overview

The Li L7 was presented in September 2022, at that time as the company's least expensive and smallest model, while sharing the same wheelbase with the longer Li L8. During its introduction, the Li L7 was available in three trims: Air, Pro, and Max. Since 2024, the Ultra trim level became available. Deliveries of the L7 Pro and L7 Max began on March 1, while deliveries of the base L7 Air started in early April 2023.
Similar to other Li L-series models, the Li L7 uses the "Future Avant-Garde" design language, while appearing lower and sleeker than the larger Li L8 and Li L9. It comes with optional 21-inch wheels.

### Interior

Unlike the L8 and L9, the Li L7 is a two-row, five-seater vehicle. It shares the same dashboard design with other L-series models. The model claims to offer a 1,160 mm (45.7 in) of maximum legroom and 985 mm (38.8 in) of headroom in the second row. The second-row seat includes a single electric footrest, an electric seatback adjustment with 25- to 40-degree recline angles, and a central armrest. A total of 26 storage spaces are available in the cabin. The cabin also supports a "Double Bed Mode" by removing headrests and enabling "Camping Mode".
Standard features across all trims include a panoramic sunroof with electric sunshade, double-layered heat-insulating windshield, independently controllable rear climate system, seat heating for all five seats, seat ventilation and lumbar massage for four seats, and 10 airbags, including rear seat side airbags.
The L7 Air and L7 Pro come standard with the SS Pro in-car entertainment system with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip, while the L7 Max uses a more advanced SS Max system powered by dual Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chips. The system makes use of three 15.7-inch 3K LCD screens, two in the front and one mounted on the celling (only available for the L7 Max), with anti-reflective and low blue light technology. It also has 21 speakers, a 1,920-watt amplifier, and a 7.3.4 Dolby Atmos surround sound system.

### Suspension

The L7 Pro, L7 Max and L7 Ultra (since 2024) feature an air suspension system marketed as Li Magic Carpet with five adjustable heights and three suspension modes: comfort, standard, and sport, while the L7 Air uses a simpler continuous damping control (CDC) suspension system.

### Driver assistance

For its advanced driver-assistance system, the L7 Air and L7 Pro are equipped with the Li AD Pro autonomous driving system with a Horizon Robotics Journey 5 chip with a computing power of 128 TOPS, while Li L7 Max uses the Li AD Max system with dual Orin-X chips (508 TOPS). Both systems feature an algorithm framework jointly developed by Li Auto, Tsinghua University, and MIT.

## 2024 update

The Li L7 received an update in March 2024 for the 2024 model year. The Air, Pro and Max trim levels were revised to Pro, Max and Ultra. The L7 Ultra received a larger 52.3 kWh battery, increasing its electric range to 240 km (149 mi) under WLTC testing standards. The rear license plate mount, which was previously located at the rear bumper, was moved up to the tailgate after receiving feedback from customers. The 2024 model also comes with an in-car refrigerator, upgraded audio system, upgraded massage seat system, and the use of Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295P chip for the in-car entertainment system to replace the previous Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155.

## Powertrain

Li L7 uses an all-wheel drive electric range extender system with a 1.5-litre petrol engine, a "five-in-one" front drive motor unit and a "three-in-one" rear drive motor unit. The engine is not mechanically connected to the wheels, creating a series hybrid configuration. It delivers a maximum system power of 330 kW (443 hp; 449 PS), maximum torque of 620 N⋅m (63.2 kg⋅m; 457 lb⋅ft), and accelerates from 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in 5.3 seconds.
