The Mega electric minivan will become available in right-hand drive markets by year-end. By doing so, Li Auto is attempting to counter fierce domestic competition by expanding its overseas footprint, a move many other Chinese brands are following.<\/p>\n<p>Li Auto is accelerating its pace of globalization, just as its domestic peer Nio Inc. is slowing its overseas expansion. The company plans to introduce its pure-electric Li i6 SUV to the European market in the second half of this year, while a right-hand-drive version of the Li Mega MPV or minivan will land in core Asia-Pacific markets by the end of the year.<\/p>\n<p>Li Auto president Ma Donghui announced the strategy during the company&#8217;s first-quarter earnings call on Thursday. The company is seeking to cope with fierce domestic competition by expanding its overseas footprint.<\/p>\n<p>Disappointing financial results<\/p>\n<p>The expansion plan comes as Li Auto reported disappointing first-quarter financial results. The company unexpectedly recorded a net loss of 2.3 billion yuan (\u20ac299 million) in the first quarter.<\/p>\n<p>By comparison, it achieved a net profit of 647 million yuan (\u20ac84 million) in the same period of 2025. The company&#8217;s first-quarter revenue also fell 11.4% year-on-year to 23.0 billion yuan (almost \u20ac3 billion).<\/p>\n<h4>Flexible strategy<\/h4>\n<p>Overseas market expansion will adopt a flexible, phased strategy, Ma said. Li Auto will choose from various options, such as establishing subsidiaries or signing exclusive distribution agreements, based on local market size and the competitive landscape.<\/p>\n<p>The company hopes to rely on top local partners to quickly build a complete service system covering sales, delivery, and after-sales.<\/p>\n<p>To support this ambitious internationalization strategy, regional adaptation will be done on the product side. All subsequent new models will simultaneously complete the adaptation of overseas regulations during the research and development phase.<\/p>\n<h4>Europe is an important target<\/h4>\n<p>Europe has been identified as the core target market for Li Auto&#8217;s next stage of growth. The Li i6 will be the company&#8217;s main product for its European expansion in the second half of the year.<\/p>\n<p>The company&#8217;s research and development center in Munich, Germany, is working to gain a deep understanding of Europe&#8217;s stringent regulations and user needs. In February, Li Auto officially joined the China Chamber of Commerce to the EU (CCCEU).<\/p>\n<p>To further enhance its brand awareness in the European market, Li Auto has confirmed its participation in the 2026 Paris Motor Show. This will mark the company&#8217;s first official appearance at a top-tier international auto show in Europe.<\/p>\n<h4>Middle East and Central Asia<\/h4>\n<p>For the right-hand drive vehicle markets, Li Auto has also set a clear launch schedule. The company plans to introduce a right-hand-drive version of the Li Mega in key Asia-Pacific regions, such as Hong Kong and Singapore, by the end of this year.<\/p>\n<p>In the Middle East and Central Asia markets, Li Auto will use its L-series extended-range models as its main sales drivers. The newly optimized Li L9 extended-range SUV model will officially land in these regions in the third quarter of this year.<\/p>\n<p>Tailored for the local high-temperature environment, the model has undergone targeted hardware and software upgrades to improve charging performance and cabin air-conditioning thermal management.<\/p>\n<p>Li Auto&#8217;s overseas expansion began to bear fruit in the first half of this year. In April, the company signed dealership agreements in the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia and announced expansion plans for Cambodia, Laos, Macau, and Myanmar.<\/p>\n<h4>Domestic financial pressure<\/h4>\n<p>Despite the accelerated pace of overseas expansion, Li Auto still faces <a href=\"https:\/\/newmobility.news\/2025\/04\/24\/analysts-warn-nio-xpeng-and-li-auto-face-zero-chance-of-survival-alone\/\">short-term domestic financial pressure<\/a>. The company&#8217;s gross margin in the first quarter plummeted to 7.9% from 20.5% in the same period last year.<\/p>\n<p>This reflects a decline in average selling prices due to a different product mix and the fierce domestic market price war. Li Auto&#8217;s outlook for the second quarter consequently appears relatively conservative. The company expects second-quarter deliveries to be between 95,000 and 100,000 vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Chinese car manufacturer Li Auto is coming to Europe to launch its i6 medium SUV in the second quarter of the year.
