In 2026, Li Auto enters nine Asia-Pacific markets. In April, the company signed partnership agreements in Macao, Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar, with Macao launching in June. Today's signings bring five markets into launch preparation: Thailand, Hong Kong, Singapore, the Philippines and Vietnam, establishing the foundation for Li Auto’s 2026 Asia-Pacific market coverage and channel buildout.
Under the partnership model, Thailand will be operated by a Li Auto subsidiary, with Evante and Infinite Automobile Company as dealer partners. Hong Kong will be served by Zung Fu Group Hong Kong as general distributor; Singapore by Wearnes Automotive; the Philippines by Dangdang New Energy Auto Service; and Vietnam by Neera Motors. All partners are leading automotive groups in their respective markets.
Li MEGA, Li Auto's first right-hand-drive flagship model, retains the premium product experience, including versatile seating modes, the "Elephant Welcome" experience that facilitates elegant entry into the vehicle, a 5.5-meter turning radius with rear-wheel steering, 800-volt active anti-roll bars and dual-chamber air suspension with CDC. For right-hand-drive markets, Li Auto has developed a right-hand-drive version with 11-kW charging, CCS Type 2 and configurations designed to meet ASEAN NCAP 5-star standards. The company has also adapted glass specifications, license plate sizes, in-cabin 220-volt power outlets, local languages, local SIM and data services, AM/FM bands and infotainment ecosystems to meet local regulations and user habits.
"Today's signings in Thailand, Hong Kong, Singapore, the Philippines and Vietnam mark an important milestone as Li Auto officially enters Asia-Pacific markets," said Nestor Wu, vice president of Li Auto International Business. “By partnering with leading local players in each market and adapting our products and services to local regulations and user needs, we will bring Li Auto's family-focused smart electric vehicles to more customers across the region and continue to advance our global expansion.”
In December, Li Auto will debut the right-hand-drive Li MEGA in Thailand at the Thailand International Motor Expo, followed by a brand launch and Li MEGA launch in Hong Kong. Within one year, Li Auto will bring more than one right-hand-drive model to further deepen its global footprint. The company remains committed to working with partners worldwide to deliver premium smart electric vehicles and services to families across an expanding range of global markets, steadily advancing its development as a global brand.
