On November 6, Li Auto began rolling out OTA 9.2 in batches. Actively reversing to yield when meeting oncoming traffic on a narrow road is one of the most intuitive moments in this update. This version also adjusts U-turn and parking maneuvers, adds phone connectivity, and updates trip planning, fuel-electric management, and chassis features on some models.

Intelligent Driving

In the official demo, a row of cars is parked along the roadside, and a white truck approaches from the opposite direction. The remaining road is not wide enough for the two vehicles to pass side by side. The vehicle first backs up to make room for the encounter, then shifts back into drive and passes the truck.

Li Auto previously had reversing to get unstuck; what is added this time is active yielding during oncoming-traffic encounters. The oncoming vehicle is also moving, so the system must judge whether the two vehicles can pass each other and also find a suitable position to yield, leaving space for the other party to pass.

Three-point turns now include dynamic gear shifting. When a vehicle turns around in a tight spot, it often needs to move forward a bit and then back up a bit. This update adjusts the switching between drive and reverse during low-speed maneuvering, reducing the wait between actions. The official demo compares the U-turn maneuver before and after the update.

The Mach VLA 2.5 pushed in this update adds a 3D ViT perception model to help the system understand the position and spatial relationships of surrounding objects. In an oncoming-traffic scenario, this means judging how much space the roadside vehicles occupy and how the oncoming vehicle is moving, providing a basis for planning the yielding route.

Height-restriction reminders have also been supplemented. Owners can set the vehicle's overall height, and when the system detects a risk of scraping the roof, it will alert via sound and visuals. If a roof box is installed, the added height can be included in the setting.

Parking Experience

A parking space that has already been selected may be taken by someone else just as the vehicle is preparing to park. 9.2 adds active parking recovery: in such cases, the system will look for a nearby available space and then ask the owner whether to switch to it. After choosing an alternative space, the parking process can continue.

For remote parking, an option to start by closing the door has been added. In this parking flow, the owner completes the settings in advance, gets out, closes all doors, and stays a certain distance from the vehicle to trigger parking, eliminating the need to press a button again to confirm. The original exterior confirmation method is also retained, so owners can choose according to their habits.

The campus map has also been supplemented with information such as entrances and exits, floors, parking spaces, and elevator lobbies, and the planned route for memory parking can be displayed on the map. After entering the campus or underground garage, the owner can see which route the vehicle plans to take and where it will park.

Cabin and Connectivity

9.2 adds phone connectivity, supporting Apple CarPlay, HUAWEI HiCar, and ICCOA Carlink. Owners download the corresponding app in the app center, and after completing the first pairing, it can connect automatically when they get in the car. Once connected, phone apps supported by the corresponding platform can be used, while the original vehicle controls for air conditioning, seats, and more are retained.

The changes to the map travel Agent are reflected in more complex trip arrangements. For example, if you first pick up your child from school, then go to another destination, and want to charge once along the way, you can tell Li Xiang (the in-car assistant) all these needs together. The system supports combining multiple locations, specifying roads to pass through, and incorporating charging and rest needs into the route.

If you change your mind temporarily along the way, you can continue the conversation to adjust; saved and remembered locations can also be added to the trip. Before using the map travel Agent, you need to log in to an Amap account and enable the expert mode of Li Xiang.

For in-cabin settings, taking the update log of the L9 Livis as an example, a new ambient space Agent can link lighting, air conditioning, volume, fragrance, and music according to scenario needs such as watching a movie or resting, and it also requires enabling expert mode. Task Master adds custom audio and video on top of its original functions, allowing preset content or materials uploaded from a phone to set actions triggered by conditions such as unlocking or locking. Custom sound effects are also supported for playback outside the vehicle when in P gear.

Electric Drive, Chassis, and Safety

The Smart Fuel-Electric 2.0 of the all-new Li Auto L9, L8, and the new-generation L6 arranges en-route charging stations based on navigation and adjusts the fuel-electric distribution according to the trip. For example, if the owner has already planned to charge at a commonly used charging point, the vehicle will prioritize using electricity as it approaches. The locations of en-route charging stations and the owner's commonly used charging points are both taken into account in this fuel-and-electricity strategy.

Chassis updates vary by model configuration. The all-new L9 and L8 add tire blowout stability control: if a tire blows out during high-speed driving, the chassis electronic control system intervenes to help reduce the risk of loss of stability. The Livis versions of the L9 and L8 also add rhythmic extraction, using active suspension movement together with drive control to help the vehicle get out of soft surfaces such as sand.

The convenient tire-change function of the L9 and L8 Livis is currently available only to after-sales spare-tire rental users. In addition, the update log of the L9 Livis also lists a comfort stop switch and preview adjustments for speed bumps of different heights.

The models receiving this round of 9.2 include the 2026 Li Auto L9 Livis and Ultra, the all-new L8 Livis and Ultra, the new-generation L6 Ultra, the new-generation MEGA Home, the all-new i9 Home, and the 2026 i6. Models from 2022 to 2025 follow a separate OTA 8.7 update schedule; according to November
