Sales of Li Auto crossovers will begin in Russia at the end of May.

Official sales of hybrid crossovers of the Chinese brand Li Auto (Lixiang) in Russia will begin at the end of May 2025. This is stated in the message of the Avilon dealer holding, which was received by Izvestia on May 12.

Avilon has announced that it has become the first official Lixiang dealer in Russia. Sales of the L6, L7 and L9 crossovers will begin at the end of May at car dealerships in Moscow. All officially imported cars will receive a 3—year warranty or 100,000 km of mileage (whichever comes first), as well as a traction battery warranty of 8 years or 160,000 km.

Previously, Lixiang cars were imported into the country only by alternative routes, their owners could not use official service and faced repair restrictions. Buyers of official Li Auto cars will receive original spare parts, software updates, warranty and technical support.

The interests of the Li Auto brand in Russia are represented by the Chinese concern Sinomach Auto. Since 2023, he has been representing Oting SUVs supplied from the Zhengzhou Nissan plant in the country, and since 2024, Rox Motors crossovers manufactured at the BAW (Beijing Automobile Works) plant.
