Li Auto is navigating internal changes with the reported departure of Zhang Xiao, president of its second product line, attributed to the Li i8's underwhelming sales. This occurs alongside an 18.08% year-on-year decline in total deliveries from January to November 2025.
Conversely, Li Auto entered a strategic partnership with Air China on December 22, aiming to create an 'aviation + auto' travel ecosystem. The company also obtained L3 autonomous driving test permits in Beijing and expanded its international presence, indicating forward-looking strategies. LI stock closed at $17.44, up 3.93%, on December 26.
