Li ONE is equipped with a 1.2-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine, which delivers a maximum horsepower of 131 hp and reaches its peak power output at 5,500 rpm. This engine features direct fuel injection technology and utilizes an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. The vehicle is a dual-motor model, with electric motors on both the front and rear axles. The front axle motor has a maximum power output of 100 kW, while the rear axle motor delivers a maximum power of 140 kW. Li ONE is a mid-to-large-sized SUV with dimensions of 5,020 mm in length, 1,960 mm in width, and 1,760 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2,935 mm. In terms of safety features, the car is equipped with ABS anti-lock braking system, brake force distribution, electronic stability control, roll stability control, seatbelt reminder, blind-spot monitoring, lane departure warning system, among others.
As someone who frequently tinkers with cars, I'd like to mention that the Li ONE doesn't have a traditional engine. Instead, it's equipped with a 1.2-liter inline three-cylinder turbocharged gasoline range extender. This device kicks in when the battery is low, functioning like a small generator specifically designed to charge the electric motor or battery, without directly driving the wheels. This system offers numerous benefits, such as seamless switching during high-speed driving or long-distance travel, allowing the range to exceed 1,000 kilometers. During normal driving, the engine noise is minimal, and vibration control is excellent, making it feel almost indistinguishable from a pure electric vehicle. The range extender's design gives the Li ONE the quietness of an electric car combined with the convenience of a fuel-powered vehicle, eliminating range anxiety. It rarely activates during stop-and-go city driving, making it quite fuel-efficient.
