Li Xiang ONE is a mid-to-large-sized SUV. Taking the 2020 Li Xiang ONE Extended Range 7-seater version as an example, its body dimensions are: length 5020mm, width 1960mm, height 1760mm, wheelbase 2935mm, minimum ground clearance 180mm, and fuel tank capacity 45L. The 2020 Li Xiang ONE Extended Range 7-seater version is equipped with a 1.2L turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 131PS, maximum power of 96kW, maximum power speed of 5500rpm, and is paired with an electric vehicle single-speed transmission.

The Li ONE is an extended-range electric SUV I purchased last year. After driving it for over half a year, I find it particularly suitable for families with kids like ours. The space is enormous—the back row can seat seven people, making it super convenient for weekend picnics and hauling stuff. In pure electric mode, it can run 188 kilometers, which is more than enough for daily commutes and grocery runs, saving a ton on fuel costs. For long trips, the extended-range system kicks in, allowing a full tank to last over 1,000 kilometers. Last Spring Festival, I drove from Beijing to Guangzhou without charging midway—zero range anxiety. The chassis is stable, noise is minimal in city traffic jams, and the controls are straightforward. The interior features a large screen displaying route info, and the whole family is super satisfied. Battery maintenance isn’t expensive, and the overall practicality and cost-effectiveness are outstanding. Even my wife praised the purchase as totally worth it.

As a car enthusiast, I'm fascinated by the Li ONE's range-extender technology. It's essentially an electric vehicle but comes with a small generator that kicks in to charge the battery when the charge is low. With a pure electric range of 188 km on a full charge and a total range exceeding 1,000 km after refueling, this design eliminates range anxiety for pure EVs in remote areas. The battery uses CATL's ternary lithium technology, delivering quick acceleration response and ample horsepower, making highway driving particularly exhilarating. It supports fast charging, reaching 80% in half an hour, and with plenty of charging stations near my home, range is hardly a concern. On the safety front, the LiDAR-assisted driving system is impressive, with sensitive collision warnings. I often take it on mountain roads nearby—stable and quiet. Buying this kind of car isn't just about being eco-friendly; it's also about adapting to China's road conditions and infrastructure, offering strong practicality.

I've been using the Li ONE for almost a year, mainly for commuting and short trips. It's economical and hassle-free in the city. Running in pure electric mode costs just a few yuan per day in electricity, hardly using any fuel. Just install a home charging station in the parking space and charge it overnight. In terms of space, the six-seat layout is spacious enough for luggage or carrying colleagues, and the interior is simple and easy to maintain. The extended-range design makes the car run smoothly and quietly with little bumpiness, and the fuel consumption is well controlled, averaging just over 6 liters per 100 kilometers. Occasionally going to the suburbs, a full tank of fuel is enough for the round trip without wasting time. Daily maintenance is simple, and the cost-performance ratio is high, making it suitable for ordinary users who want to try an electric vehicle.

The Ideal ONE has a very precise positioning in the Chinese market, primarily targeting practical family-oriented extended-range SUVs. Its 6 or 7-seat design caters to the needs of families with multiple children, priced around 300,000 yuan, which is cheaper than pure electric vehicles in the same class, offering outstanding cost performance. The technical highlight is its extended-range system, with a comprehensive range exceeding 1,000 kilometers, addressing the pain point of charging difficulties for electric vehicles, and its sales once led the market. In terms of competition, similar brands like NIO and Tesla each have their own focus, but the Ideal ONE attracts a large number of middle-class family buyers with its low fuel consumption and spacious advantages, becoming a dark horse among domestic electric vehicles. The smart assistance features promoted by the brand are also quite practical, with lane-keeping and automatic parking enhancing safety. Overall, it is a successful domestic innovative product.

In terms of design, the Li ONE left a deep impression on me. Its exterior features smooth and bold lines, with a stylish and eye-catching LED light strip on the front grille. The interior is minimalist and modern, equipped with a large central control screen that integrates navigation and entertainment functions, offering smooth operation and high levels of intelligence. The driving experience is quiet and comfortable, with the extended-range system reducing noise and the motor providing stable output. The space layout is user-friendly, with comfortable seat materials that prevent fatigue during long rides, and a spacious trunk that ensures worry-free travel. A technical highlight is its combination of electric eco-friendliness and traditional convenience, making it ideal for young people pursuing a quality lifestyle. It certainly turns heads on the road.
