The previous two years in the Xuanyuan Award competition, the victory was awarded to two models at the same time, as they scored the same number of points. In the same year, the overall winner was the L9 hybrid crossover from Li Auto, owned by the startup CHJ Automotive, which itself was founded by Nio owner Li Xiang.
The L9 was noted for its excellent operating experience, comfortable cabin, well thought-out ergonomics for each passenger and impressive range. The L9 is powered by a petrol electric unit with a 1.5-litre internal combustion engine, which is required to charge the battery. Two electric motors mounted on the front and rear axles are responsible for turning the wheels. The total power of the units reaches 449 horsepower. The range of the hybrid is 1315 kilometers.
