response to its newly updated Li L9 model.\nCiti said the new model is not a game changer, while Morgan Stanley sees its potential to boost sales.\n\n\n(A Li L9 Livis on display at the Beijing Auto Show in April 2026. Image credit: CnEVPost)\nShares of Li Auto (HKEX: 2015) plunged following the launch of its updated Li L9 flagship SUV (sport utility vehicle), as investors appeared unconvinced by the new model aimed at reviving sales momentum.\nLi Auto shares in Hong Kong have tumbled 13% to HK$65.75 apiece so far, marking one of its steepest intraday drops in recent months.\nThe automaker officially rolled out the updated Li L9 on May 15, adding a higher-end Livis version with a starting price of 509,800 yuan ($74,862).\n\n\nJoin us on \nTelegram\n or \nGoogle News\n\n\nThe final pricing for the Li L9 Livis is 50,000 yuan lower than its pre-sales price. The upgraded Ultra version starts at 459,800 yuan.\nCiti analysts noted in a report that the upgraded L9 is not a game changer. They believe its actual value-for-money merely aligns with that of its peers.\n\nCiti expects monthly sales of 1,000 units for the Li L9 Livis and 4,000 units for the Ultra version. The bank maintained its \"Neutral\" rating on the company.\nMorgan Stanley held a more positive view on the model by contrast. The bank believes the updated Li L9 is crucial for Li Auto to regain sales momentum.\nMorgan Stanley expects monthly sales of the new Li L9 to surpass last year's average. However, the bank warned of fierce competition in the six-seat SUV market, leaving almost no room for execution missteps.\nThe Li L9 Livis is equipped with two smart driving chips developed in-house by Li Auto. This provides the vehicle with powerful computing capabilities for complex road conditions.\nThe new vehicle features Li Auto's third-generation range extender and a 72.7 kWh battery pack. Its combined range can reach up to 1,650 kilometers on a full charge and a full tank.\nLi Auto plans to launch an international version of the Li L9 in the third quarter of 2026, with the first batch landing in overseas markets including Central Asia and the Middle East.\nThe Li L9 was initially launched in 2022 and was once one of the most expensive models from a domestic automaker. As rival products increased, the model's deliveries slumped by nearly half year-on-year last year.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLi Auto launches updated L9 to revive flagship SUV sales, international version to roll out in Q3\nLi Auto highlighted the higher-end L9 Livis, starting at 509,800 yuan ($74,940), which is 9% lower than its pre-sales price.\n\n\nLi Auto\nMay 15, 2026\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n($1 = 6.8099 yuan)","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"productRelease","news_rank":0,"isVideo":false,"video":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"need_login_tip":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.42.2","shortVersion":"4.42.2","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2636043037","isCrawlerRequest":true}
