LI AUTO L7 DRIVEN - POSSIBLY THE BEST LUXURY SUV OF 2023

EV Channels Review

The Li Auto L7 is presented as a strong contender for the best luxury SUV of 2023, offering a compelling package that rivals its larger siblings, the L8 and L9. The reviewer highlights its handsome design, exceptionally plush interior with extensive soft-touch materials, and a sophisticated tech suite featuring multiple large screens. The extended-range electric drivetrain is praised for its quietness, smoothness, and the flexibility it offers, especially for long journeys. The "Magic Carpet Ride" suspension provides a supremely comfortable experience, even on rough roads. Key advantages include the spacious and highly configurable rear cabin, advanced autonomous driving features (though with some noted quirks like lane selection), and unique family-oriented features such as the optional air mattress for "daily camping" and the ability to connect a Nintendo Switch for gaming. The reviewer finds the L7 to be a brilliant and practical vehicle, particularly for smaller families or those who value its unique camping and entertainment capabilities. The main drawback mentioned is the autonomous driving system's occasional tendency to occupy the middle lane unnecessarily. Overall, the L7 is deemed an excellent, well-engineered vehicle that offers great value, despite its current limited availability outside of China.
