The Li Mega (Chinese: 理想MEGA; pinyin: Lǐxiǎng MEGA; lit. 'ideal MEGA', stylized in all caps) is a battery electric minivan produced by Li Auto since 2024.[1] It is the first battery electric vehicle from Li Auto, as the previous models are all extended range electric vehicles (EREV).
Overview
[edit]The Mega was introduced in November 2023 at the Auto Guangzhou, where pre-orders were accepted. The minivan is notable for its distinctive exterior design, which contributes in aerodynamics with a wind resistance drag coefficient of just 0.215 Cd, the lowest among multi-purpose vehicles (MPVs) globally currently in production.[2][3]
The Mega has a double-wishbone front suspension and a multi-link setup in the rear, with air suspension and continuous damper control, with the capability of up to 70 mm (2.8 in) of ride height adjustment.[4][5][6][7]
The dashboard contains a steering wheel with a small information touchscreen mounted directly on its central hub supplemented by an AR head up display for instrument cluster functions, and floating dual 15.6-inch touchscreens used as the central infotainment display and the passenger entertainment system, all powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295P SoC. The center console has dual 50-watt wireless charging pads and dual cupholders, behind which lies a central armrest with a storage bin, inside of which is a refrigerator compartment.[7]
The Mega has a seven seat 2+2+3 seating layout, with all seats except the center third row being heated. The driver's seat has adjustable cushion firmness and bolstering. The second row features captains chairs, which have 16-point massaging functionality along with the first row. There are seatback mounted tray tables, and a ceiling-mounted 17-inch entertainment display. Audio is provided by a 21-speaker system.[7]
All Megas have Li Auto's AD Max autonomous driving system, with support for a Navigation on Autopilot system. It has an array 25 sensors, including a Hesai LiDAR, a mmWave radar, eleven cameras and twelve ultrasonic sensors. Processing is provided by two Nvidia Orin-X chips capable of 508TOPS of computation combined.[7]

Powertrain
[edit]The Mega is powered by a single powertrain option, a dual motor all-wheel drive system powered exclusively by a battery, with an 800 V electrical architecture.[8] It consists of a 245 kW (329 hp; 333 PS) permanent magnet synchronous motor powering the rear wheels, supplemented by a 245 kW (329 hp; 333 PS) asynchronous induction motor powering the front axle, for a combined 536 hp (400 kW; 543 PS) and 542 N⋅m (400 lb⋅ft) of torque. The Mega can accelerate from 0–100 km/h (62 mph) in 5.5 seconds, and has a top speed of 180 km/h (112 mph).[7][9]
The Mega uses a 102.7 kWh Qilin NMC battery pack produced by a CATL that supports 5C fast charging at a rated 400 kW and a peak of 520 kW, allowing for a 10-80% charging time of 10.5 minutes, achieving a CLTC range rating of 710 kilometres (441 mi), or 575 kilometres (357 mi)[citation needed] on the WLTP cycle.[7]
