Li Auto delivered 29,025 vehicles in October, down 8.63% from a year earlier. It is the company's second straight annual decline. Deliveries were also down 8.78% from September's 31,817, the lowest since February's 26,421.

Key figures

• Year to date: 322,461, down 1.96%.
• Cumulative deliveries since launch: 1,862,676 as of Oct. 31.

The i6 update

The 2026 Li i6 launched on Oct. 28, and deliveries began the next day. It is a five-seat battery electric SUV aimed at the same buyers as Tesla's Model Y. Li Auto's in-house Mach M100 driver-assistance chip is now standard, along with a 96 kWh Lianshan 5C LFP battery. CnEVPost says the rear-drive version reaches 780 km CLTC.

The official starting price stays at 249,800 yuan. Launch offers bring it to 239,800 yuan for orders placed by Nov. 30. Li Auto plans to raise i6 capacity to 20,000 a month in November. Inside China Auto calls the update the help Li Auto needs after a soft month.
