Park Like a Pro Li Auto Rolls Out Smarter SUVs for the Filipino Family

Li Auto is steadily carving its name in the Philippines with SUVs that balance technology, comfort, and family-focused design. But beyond plush seats and extended range, the brand is raising eyebrows for introducing a feature once thought futuristic: Remote Parking Assist.

Parking Without Sitting Behind the Wheel

Through its OTA 5.0 software update, Li Auto vehicles now support Remote Parking Assist (RPA). The function allows owners to park or retrieve their cars using a smartphone after stepping out—a practical solution for tight garages or crowded city spaces. Unlike traditional auto-park systems that need the driver inside, RPA hands off the task entirely to the car.

A Family-Centered Lineup

Li Auto Philippines recently showcased its three flagship models, the Li L7, Li L9, and Li MEGA, all designed with family comfort in mind.

• Li L7 – The 5-seat flagship SUV offers up to 1,421 km of extended range, a Dual Motor 4WD system, and a cabin that feels more lounge than vehicle. It features a built-in warmer/refrigerator, second-row entertainment display, and premium audio. With intelligent parking and Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) functions, it balances luxury with daily practicality.

• Li L9 – This 6-seater stretches comfort further with plush seating, advanced driver-assist features, and in-car entertainment that can even include a double air mattress for road trips. High-resolution cameras and LiDAR (on the Ultra trim) enhance its Li Pilot system, offering safety across varied terrains.

• Li MEGA – The brand’s MPV flagship redefines people movers. With a 710 km pure electric range, “Magic Carpet” suspension, and a versatile interior that switches from living room to cinema, it feels less like a van and more like a mobile retreat. Heated and massaging seats, a 2,160W audio system, and smart storage cater to both daily runs and milestone journeys.

Intelligent Driving Gets an Upgrade

At the core of Li Auto’s technology push is AD Max 3.0, rolled out via OTA 5.0. This upgrade shifts from segmented programming to a large-model architecture for more natural and adaptive driving assistance.

Features include:

• Enhanced ADAS: Highway, urban, and intersection navigation with Active Emergency Braking from 4–135 km/h.
• Smart Space 3.0: Powered by Mind GPT, the system understands multi-command voice requests, offers over 1,000 skills across 111 domains, and provides more natural, context-aware interactions.
• REV 3.0: Improved range-extender system increases prediction accuracy and boosts winter EV range by 15–20%.

Hardware Boosts for 2025 Models

Recent updates also strengthen Li Auto’s hardware lineup:

• LiDAR & Chips: New LiDAR units are 60% smaller and 55% more power-efficient while offering 200m range. Pro trims use Horizon Journey 6M (128 TOPS), while Max/Ultra trims move to Nvidia Thor-U (700 TOPS).
• Safety Enhancements: Automatic braking now works effectively up to 120 km/h, while steering assistance can avoid unexpected pedestrians at up to 130 km/h.
• Ride Comfort: Suspension refinements reduce body roll and improve responsiveness.

Every Journey, A Family Adventure

For Li Auto, “Every Journey, A Family Adventure” is embedded in its SUVs that combine long range, smart technology, and home-like interiors. Whether it’s a quick errand or a cross-country escape, the promise is to turn drives into shared memories.
