Li Auto has offered a first glimpse of the cabin of its new L9 Livis. The model goes on sale May 15, with the company committing to start deliveries on that very day. The interior concept is unapologetically home-inspired: Li Auto says it set out to craft a flagship interior that lives up to the highest domestic expectations.

Inside, the L9 Livis adopts a so-called "star ring" cockpit architecture, an ultra-wide panoramic display, a "magic mobile screen," a central Safety Island armrest, and all-new flagship seats.

This is Li Auto again doubling down on its core strength: not merely moving a family from A to B, but delivering the sense of a private lounge where nobody fights over screens, chargers, or the best seat. The technical spec sheet is just as ambitious. It includes the company's own Mach 100 chip, a full steer-by-wire chassis, an 800-volt active suspension, the third generation of its 5C fast-charging system for the series hybrid, and a surround-view lidar setup.

Li Auto puts particular emphasis on the suspension, claiming over 10,000 N of lifting force per wheel, millisecond-level response times, and operation without a traditional anti-roll bar. The chassis, too, is showcased as a technology tour de force: steer-by-wire, all-wheel steering, and electromechanical brakes (EMB).

Perhaps the most debated yet critical aspect is computing power. The L9 Livis packs two 5-nm Mach 100 chips delivering a claimed 2,560 TOPS. While this hardware is meant to underpin driver-assistance features, for the real-world buyer the true test is how reliably it all performs—not on a show stage, but in stop-and-go traffic, on the open road, and in winter conditions.

Li Auto is clearly positioning the L9 Livis not as yet another big hybrid, but as a tech-laden family living room on wheels. The challenge now is to demonstrate that all those screens and all that smart hardware don't end up complicating the owner's everyday life.
