A review of the Li Auto L7, possibly the best luxury SUV of 2023.
********
Our final video of 2023 is for one of the best cars on sale today, period, the Li L7. Its bigger brother, the Li L8, got a glowing review from us earlier this year but does losing one row of seats mean the L7 is a lesser car? Not at all. In fact it offers something new practicality-wise that the bigger Lis cannot, and we put it to the test by spending a night in the wilderness inside the L7. Elsewhere, it offers very much the same as the larger family members with a beautifully appointed interior, handsome looks, top tech, and the practicality of an extended range electric drivetrain, and it's brilliant. Sadly, it looks like it'll only be available in China for now.
If you tuned in in 2023, thank you so much for joining us. Have a wonderful new year, and we look forward to seeing you again in 2024.

I'm an American who's lived in China for 16+ years and purchased my first Chinese brand car, the L7 Max in May and absolutely LOVE IT !!!!! Words can't describe how comfortable the ride is and it's loaded with all of the coolest and latest tech. 99% of the time I use the pure electric mode but love having the peace of mind with the gas range extender. I enjoyed watching your video and you actually pointed out a few features I didn't know I had available on my L7 Max!!! I'm looking forward to the adding a second Li Auto to my garage, the Mega when it comes out on March.

At the moment, the batteries on Nio and Li are quite reliable and there is no point in thinking about replacing the battery at the moment, at least for five or ten years. Replacement of any spare parts for cars takes place at cars dealership in Russia.

Totally agree after renting this baby in China recently, whether city driving or high way all excellent, super quiet, comfortable, intelligent, enjoyment, best PHEV SUV indeed. 3 more things, the voice control can do almost every function this car has, also can put all orders in one sentence. When you move in tight space, the car can show the gap in cm anywhere on the screen. The USBc charger at the back is 60W rapid charger can fully charge your phone in 30-40mins, also have a 220W powerpoint in the center of the backseat.

@InsideChinaAuto 5 ай бұрын

Glad you appreciate the reviews mate. Between this and G9, that's a tough one, plus I haven't driven the updated G9 yet. Obviously this is an EREV, G9 is full BEV, so if you want pure electric (and not carrying an engine round) it's G9. I think this shades the G9 on overall cabin though, particularly with the rear screen and console connectivity, but they're both lovely to drive. G9 does have XNGP though, but I haven't tried Li's new city ADAS system so can't compare them just yet. Soon though.

Afraid the engine never connects to the wheels, only charges the battery, so it's a 1.5-litre petrol on the Miller cycle. They don't offer a number for the fuel consumption, but it has a 65-litre tank and does 175km WLTC pure electric from 1100 total, so should be about 7-litres per 100km.
