And even a little cheaper
One of the Moscow companies has begun accepting orders for the newest minivan Li Auto Mega. The car was valued at 12.5 million rubles, and this is the cost taking into account customs duties and, apparently, all other fees.
In China itself, sales of Li Auto Mega should begin only on March 1, so real cars are unlikely to arrive in Russia before the beginning of April. Estimated cost of the car in China – 600 thousand yuan or approximately 7.5 million rubles. So the overpayment will be considerable. On the other hand, the much less powerful and not so spacious Toyota Alphard costs in Russia from 12.5 million rubles, and the price of top-end copies reaches 15 million rubles.
Li Auto Mega features excellent aerodynamics for cars in its class: drag coefficient – 0.215. The best examples of «sedan building» like Xiaomi SU7 this indicator – 0.195. But making a large minivan almost as streamlined as a sedan is not so easy.
The dimensions of the car are decent – 5350 x 1965 x 1850 mm with a wheelbase of 3.3 m. It is almost 20 cm longer in wheelbase than the flagship SUV Li Auto L9, which has already become popular in Russia. At the same time, the Mega is more powerful than the L9 (544 hp versus 440 hp) and, like the SUV, has all-wheel drive.
A large minivan accelerates to 100 km/h in 5.5 seconds. The capacity of the traction battery is 102.7 kW⋅h, the power reserve– up to 710 km (according to the CLTC calculation method, in reality it is less).
