Li Auto previously announced on Wednesday that due to continuous sharp rises in the costs of upstream raw materials, the price of the Li ONE will be adjusted from April 1, from the current 338,000 yuan to 349,800 yuan ($53,118-$54,976). Customers who have already paid a deposit will not be affected.

In addition, Li Auto will soon release a new car, the Li L9, which will be launched during Auto China 2022 in Beijing next month, with a price ranging from 450,000 yuan to 500,000 yuan. It has recently revealed some configuration information regarding the new model, including a self-developed flagship extended range electric system, a chassis control system and a central domain controller.
