Our 2024 launches will kick off in March with the official release and commencement of deliveries of our high-tech flagship family MPV, Li MEGA, alongside the rollout of the 2024 Li L7, Li L8, and Li L9.

A comprehensive upgrade of our sales and servicing network is also underway, with an aim of establishing 800 retail stores and over 500 Li Auto-authorized body and paint shops by the end of 2024. Reinforced by our diverse product lineup, together with the strength of our products and enhanced synergies across our production, supply chain, and sales and servicing network, we will challenge ourselves with a target of new high of 800,000 annual deliveries and a goal towards the best-selling premium auto brand in China.
