Leading Chinese new energy vehicle (NEV) manufacturer Li Auto enters into the Philippine market, through its official local dealer HomeAuto Inc., with the brand name “Li Auto Philippines.”
Founded in 2015, Li Auto’s core mission is to provide safer, more comfortable, and convenient experiences on the road for families. Li Auto has pioneered the commercialization of range-extended electric vehicles (REEVs) and introduced cutting-edge technologies like “3D Spatial Interaction” in China. In 2024, the total deliveries reached 500,508 vehicles, representing an increase of 33.1% from 376,030 vehicles in the previous year.
The brand’s decision to expand into the Philippines reflects the company’s commitment to broadening its global footprint and catering to the growing demand for premium, sustainable mobility solutions.
“We are thrilled to introduce Li Auto’s innovative smart electric vehicles to the Philippines,” said HomeAuto Inc. Chief Executive Officer Stone Yu. “The local market presents a significant opportunity for us with its increasing awareness of electric vehicles and interest in modern technology. Filipinos’ strong family values align perfectly with our vision so we are confident that they will appreciate the unique blend of luxury and technology that Li Auto offers.”
Li Auto Philippines’ initial lineup will showcase Li L7 and Li L9.
Li L7
Built to redefine five-seat family SUVs, Li L7 creates a spacious interior, providing a home-like experience for the entire family while boasting a CLTC range of 1,360 kilometers.
Li L9
Meanwhile, Li L9 is a six-seat, full-size flagship SUV with an innovative five-screen, three-dimensional interactive intelligent cockpit that brings a new level of driving and entertainment experience. Its self-developed range extension and chassis systems provide excellent drivability with a CLTC range of 1,412 kilometers.
These vehicles are built on Li Auto’s advanced REEV platform that supports dual energy sources wherein the range extender only acts as a generator to power up the battery without being the main power source. This offers a balance of electric driving range and extended range capability. All models also feature exceptional audio-visual equipment, advanced autonomous driving sensor system, and superior handling capabilities.
Li Auto Philippines is also committed to providing comprehensive after-sales services to ensure a seamless ownership experience for Filipino customers. This includes fast-charging facilities, robust spare parts inventory to ensure timely maintenance and repairs, warranty programs, and a focus on customer satisfaction, providing a top-notch ownership experience.
Customers can visit the Li L7 and Li L9 at a special showcase at the SM Mall of Asia from April 4 to 10. Meanwhile, Li Auto Philippines’ flagship showroom will open soon in Bonifacio Global City to provide a dedicated space for customers to explore Li Auto Philippines’ premium smart EVs and services.
