Vehicle model
Li L8
The Li L8 is a large mid-size family SUV with six seats spread across three rows (2/2/2), introduced in late 2022 as the direct successor to the Li ONE. It is positioned at the heart of the lineup, between the L7 (five seats) and the L9 (full-size flagship model), for families who need a third row without the length of the L9. It carries over the brand's EREV philosophy, combining smooth electric driving with long total range thanks to the gasoline range extender. The cabin emphasizes space, screens, and technological equipment. The L8 is about 5.08 m long and is fitted with large-diameter tires, generally 20 to 21 inches depending on the trim. In Quebec, this heavy SUV would require mountain-snowflake certified winter tires; note that it is not officially sold in North America.

Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Les véhicules Li Auto sont de grands SUV familiaux lourds, qui chaussent des pneus et jantes de fort diamètre. Le L9, modèle phare, reçoit d'origine des pneus en 265/45 R21 sur jantes de 21 pouces (largeur autour de 9J), et les L8/L7 utilisent aussi typiquement des montes de 20 à 21 pouces. Le poids élevé et la puissance imposent des pneus à indices de charge et de vitesse adéquats. Au Québec, des pneus d'hiver homologués (pictogramme montagne-flocon) sont obligatoires et fortement recommandés sur ce type de SUV lourd; prévoir une seconde monte hiver, souvent en diamètre légèrement réduit pour le coût et la motricité. Faute de distribution locale, valider toujours les dimensions exactes et l'entraxe (bolt pattern) avant l'achat.
