The Li One ({{zh|s=理想ONE|p=Lǐxiǎng ONE|l=ideal ONE}}, stylized in all caps) is a range-extender luxury mid-size crossover SUV produced by Chinese manufacturer Li Auto. It is the first production vehicle from the manufacturer.
As of 2021, it had the second-longest electric range of any plug-in hybrid in the world (180 km in the NEDC cycle) after the BMW i3 120 Ah REx (203 km in the EPA cycle).
History
The One was presented in April 2019 at the Shanghai Auto Show. It has been in series production in Changzhou since November 2019. The first vehicles were delivered in China from early 2020.{{cite web|title=Leading Ideal start Presale Phase|periodical=China-auto.news|publisher=|url=https://china-auto.news/post/leading-ideal-start-presale-phase/|url-status=|format=|access-date=|archive-url=|archive-date=|last=James Dee|date=2019-11-22|language=|pages=|quote=}}{{Cite web|title=Li Auto Inc.|url=https://ir.lixiang.com/news/|access-date=2021-05-05|website=ir.lixiang.com|language=en}} After three years on the Chinese market, the Li One was discontinued in October 2022 to make way for the newer Li L8.{{Cite web |last=Zhang |first=Phate |date=2022-09-05 |title=Li Auto faces owner outcry as it discontinues Li ONE in Oct to make way for Li L8 |url=https://cnevpost.com/2022/09/05/li-auto-owner-outcry-discontinues-li-one-for-li-l8/ |access-date=2024-01-14 |website=CnEVPost |language=en-US}}

Specifications
The vehicle can be described as a range extended vehicle or as a plug-in hybrid. It has two electric motors: a {{convert|100|kW|hp PS|0|abbr=on}} motor in the front and a {{convert|140|kW|hp PS|0|abbr=on}} motor in the rear. It is also equipped with a front-mounted 1.2-litre turbocharged 3-cylinder petrol engine with a {{convert|45|L|usgal impgal|1}} petrol tank capacity. The newer face-lifted model has a gas tank of {{convert|55|L|usgal impgal|1}}. The petrol engine is a range extender for the electric motors; it does not directly power the wheels.
Total power output is {{convert|240|kW|hp PS|0|abbr=on}} and {{convert|530|Nm|lbft kgm|abbr=on|sigfig=3}}. The company claims a NEDC range of {{convert|700|km|mi|abbr=on}}. The facelifted model has a NEDC range of {{convert|800|km|mi|abbr=on}}, and an electric-only NEDC range of {{convert|180|km|mi|abbr=on}}.
Charging to 80% takes 40 minutes with a fast charger. A full charge at 200V takes 6 hours. Battery capacity is {{cvt|40.6|kWh}}, out of which {{cvt|37.2|kWh}} is usable.
It is a sport utility vehicle, available with six or seven seats in three rows. The interior has several screens, and the infotainment system runs on Android Automotive, powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820A processor. The Li Xiang One will be equipped with a Level 2 Autonomous Driving system.{{cite web | url-access=limited |archive-url = https://ghostarchive.org/iarchive/facebook/104291006270270/2139870096045674 |archive-date = 2022-04-30| url = https://www.facebook.com/carnewschina/posts/li-xiang-one-launched-in-chinathe-li-xiang-one-is-a-new-four-wheel-drive-range-e/2139870096045674/ |title = CarNewsChina.com on Facebook |website=Facebook}}{{cbignore}}{{User-generated source|certain=yes|date=March 2022}}
Competing models include the BYD Tang plug-in hybrid, the BYD Tang 600/600D and the NIO ES8 (although the first one has a considerably smaller battery, and the two others are not plug-in hybrids but pure electric vehicles with much larger batteries).
The combination of a small internal combustion engine with a battery that is noticeably larger than in most plug-in hybrids resembles that of the BMW i3 REx.
