Li Auto i6 makes European debut ahead of Q1 2027 launch in Norway and Netherlands

Li Auto (NASDAQ: LI) has debuted its Li i6 battery electric SUV in Europe, with sales and deliveries set to begin in Norway and the Netherlands in the first quarter of 2027.

The company announced the plans on Monday, at the 2026 Paris Motor Show. The model, named Li 6 in Europe, will gradually expand to other European countries.

The event confirmed Li Auto's first European markets and delivery schedule, providing a clearer roadmap for the Chinese automaker's overseas expansion following its entry into Central Asia.

Li Auto said during its earnings call in August that it planned to begin selling the i6 in Europe in the fourth quarter of this year. The newly announced sales and delivery schedule is later, in the first quarter of 2027.

Li Auto also said it would introduce extended-range models in Europe, with extensive hardware and software adaptations for local markets, though it has yet to name the models or provide a launch timeline.

The plans build on Li Auto's strategy of tailoring its overseas product offerings by region. The company previously said it would prioritize battery electric vehicles in Europe and extended-range models in the Middle East and Central Asia.

Responding to discussion about the pace of its overseas expansion, Li Auto founder, chairman and CEO Li Xiang said on Weibo today that the company would "adapt to local conditions and enter when ready," offering products suited to each market.

Li said narrow streets in historic European cities, limited parking and frequent cross-border road trips made the i6's dimensions, interior space and smart features well suited to local families' travel needs.
