Powertrain Analysis
The updated i8 uses a single electric motor with 250 kW, equal to 335 hp. The filing changes the model from a dual-motor all-wheel-drive layout to a single-motor configuration, which defines the main powertrain update for this version.
The battery is a ternary lithium pack with cells produced by Sunwoda and the pack assembled by Li Auto. The current dual-motor i8 uses a 97.8-kWh battery pack and delivers a CLTC range of 720 km, which provides the only published range reference tied to the nameplate.
The available top speed is 200 km/h. No gear count applies to the single-motor electric layout, and no transmission ratio data is published with this filing.
Chassis & Dynamics
The vehicle keeps the same body dimensions as the current i8, with a length of 5,085 mm, width of 1,960 mm, height of 1,740 mm, and wheelbase of 3,050 mm. The outer package remains unchanged aside from semi-hidden door handles replacing the current hidden handles.
Curb weight is 2,505 kg, placing the model in the upper-weight electric SUV category. The six-seat configuration defines the cabin layout, while the 200 km/h top speed sets the performance ceiling disclosed in the filing.
No chassis material data, suspension geometry, brake rotor dimensions, aerodynamic coefficient, or weight distribution figures are published with the provided specifications.
Dimensions & Practicality
The i8 measures 5,085 mm in length, 1,960 mm in width, and 1,740 mm in height, with a 3,050 mm wheelbase. These dimensions place it in the large three-row electric SUV segment.
The interior uses a six-seat layout. The update retains the current model’s overall size, so packaging remains centered on the same body shell and wheelbase.
No cargo volume, frunk capacity, towing capacity, or interior dimension figures are published with the available data.
