On April 17th, it was announced that LI ONE is an intelligent electric mid-to-large SUV launched by the Chinese automaker, Li Auto, in October 2018. It is equipped with advanced extended-range electric technology and intelligent features, and deliveries began in December 2019. Subsequent iterations were released in 2020 and 2021.
However, after the release of L7, L8, and L9, Li Auto gradually reduced its focus on LI ONE. As a result, many users were curious if there would be any OTA updates for ONE this year. The answer is yes!
LI AUTO announced today the OTA plan for LI ONE in 2023, which includes two major versions: 3.3 and 3.4.
