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
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
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]
