Al Fahim Motors officially introduced the new Li L9 SUV across showrooms in Dubai and Abu Dhabi this week. The 6-seat SUV enters the UAE market at a starting price of AED 280,000. The powertrain uses a petrol engine to generate power for the drive system.
Li Auto quotes a WLTC combined range of 1,370 km and a WLTC pure-electric range of 350 km. The dual-motor system accelerates the full-size SUV from 0–100 km/h in 5.3 seconds. Li Auto quotes fuel consumption of 15 km/L.

Flagship Cabin Luxury Meets Family Utility in the UAE
The cabin includes 4 zero-gravity seats: 2 in the front row and 2 in the 2nd row. Front passengers enjoy a 29” 6K panoramic front display while rear passengers get a 21” 4K entertainment screen. The Pristine Halo Theater system uses 29 cabin speakers plus 4 headrest speakers.
High-insulation electrochromic glass for the 2nd and 3rd rows provides additional sun protection and privacy. Inside the cabin, an integrated 10 L smart refrigerator cools beverages down to -6 degrees Celsius. The 2nd-row folding tables can accommodate laptops up to 14”.
A 7-zone smart climate-control system provides separate temperature control across the cabin. Safety features include 11 airbags and a high-strength steel body structure.
Advanced Active Suspension Tech on the Li L9 SUV
Li Auto says the suspension delivers damping response as fast as 5 milliseconds. Steer-by-wire works with rear-wheel steering to improve low-speed maneuverability. The rear wheels can steer up to 7 degrees, giving the L9 a quoted 5.3 m turning radius.
The Li L9’s active suspension reduces body roll during cornering and high-speed lane changes. Al Fahim Motors is Li Auto’s official UAE distributor, providing an authorized local sales and aftersales channel. The EREV format may appeal to UAE drivers who want electric propulsion without relying solely on charging.
Conclusion
At AED 280,000, the Li L9 SUV offers an extensive list of cabin features compared to established luxury market competitors. Regional operating costs will depend on charging habits, electricity tariffs, fuel prices, and annual mileage.
The officially distributed L9 is too new in the UAE to establish a meaningful local resale record. For some UAE buyers, an EREV may offer a middle ground between a conventional petrol SUV and a battery EV.
