The exhaust pipe of the Li ONE is located at the bottom of the vehicle. Below are relevant details: Configuration: The Li ONE is equipped with an extended-range hybrid system, consisting of a 1.2T engine and a new drive motor. The fuel tank capacity has been increased from 45L to 55L. It features Li Auto's self-developed Li-OS system and millimeter-wave radar for assisted driving functions. Exterior: In terms of body layout, the Li ONE has discontinued the 7-seat version, increasing the third-row space by 41mm. It adopts a newly designed steering wheel. The vehicle comes standard with metallic paint in four colors: black, white, gray, and silver.

As someone who frequently tinkers with range-extended electric vehicles, I've noticed that the Li ONE's exhaust pipe is concealed near the left rear wheel, partially wrapped by the bumper. This differs from conventional fuel-powered cars since it primarily operates in quiet electric drive mode, rarely emitting smoke. The exhaust pipe only comes into play when the activates. The easiest way to spot this pipe is by crouching behind the vehicle - it's located near the rear suspension area. Also, a friendly reminder to fellow drivers: avoid touching that metal section immediately after winter use as it can get quite hot. When washing your car, be careful not to spray high-pressure water directly at the exhaust outlet.

I've been driving the Li ONE for over two years now, and I rarely notice the exhaust pipe during actual use. It's located at the bottom left of the rear, and you can catch a glimpse of the silver pipe by crouching down and looking through the wheel hub. Most owners, like me, pay more attention to fuel and electricity consumption data, since this car runs on electric power 90% of the time. The exhaust pipe only comes into play when the is activated, and the noise is much quieter compared to traditional fuel vehicles. The design team deliberately installed the exhaust outlet facing downward, presumably to avoid exhaust gases directly hitting the license plate of the car behind. When parking, remember not to get too close to the wall on the right side, and leave some space around the left exhaust pipe area for heat dissipation.

When studying the structure of new energy vehicles, it was noted that the Li ONE's exhaust pipe adopts a downward design, positioned on the left side of the rear axle. This takes into account the convenience of daily use. As a plug-in hybrid model, the actual utilization rate of the exhaust pipe is low, and most of the time it is just a passive component. This arrangement by the manufacturer also avoids scraping against road obstacles during driving. The rear bumper is specially designed with an inward curve to cover most of the exhaust pipe, making it visually cleaner and more environmentally friendly.

Last week while helping my neighbor inspect his Li ONE, we specifically checked the exhaust pipe location. Lying under the left rear of the vehicle, you can see the exhaust system integrated near the rear subframe. This layout makes it much easier for technicians to replace exhaust pipe gaskets. The water wading issue often discussed in owner groups also involves this area - it's advised not to risk it when water depth exceeds 30cm, although the exhaust outlet sits higher than most SUVs. After rainy day use, regularly check if the pipe opening is blocked. The range extender's operating sound will remind you it's working.

With a background in automotive design, I particularly appreciate the exhaust layout of the Li ONE. Engineers concealed it inside the longitudinal beam in front of the left rear wheel, with the metal tailpipe outlet visible from a 45-degree angle at the rear. This hidden treatment ensures smoother lines for the entire rear bumper. In daily use, the exhaust pipe rarely gets dirty, and car wash attendants find it easy to clean. The design also considers heat flow direction to avoid overheating the tires or body components, making it more refined than many fuel-powered vehicle exhaust designs.
