By engineering a right-hand-drive Li Mega, Li Auto is committing real development spend to markets beyond mainland China
Li Auto has signed partnership agreements for Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Hong Kong and the Philippines, taking its 2026 Asia-Pacific push to nine markets. A right-hand-drive Li Mega, the Chinese automaker’s first flagship built that way, will debut in Thailand in December before launching in Hong Kong.
Thailand will be run by a Li Auto subsidiary with dealers Evante and Infinite Automobile Company. Zung Fu Group handles Hong Kong, Wearnes Automotive Singapore, Dangdang New Energy Auto Service the Philippines and Neera Motors Vietnam, after April deals for Macao, Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar.
Conversion runs past the steering wheel. The right-hand-drive Mega adds 11 kW charging, a CCS Type 2 connector and specifications aimed at five-star ASEAN NCAP results, plus local glass, plate sizes, sockets and languages. That depth of adaptation, and direct control in Thailand, suggests a long-term sales base, with at least two right-hand-drive models planned within a year.
In a statement, Nestor Wu, Vice President of Li Auto International Business, said: “Today’s signings in Thailand, Hong Kong, Singapore, the Philippines and Vietnam mark an important milestone as Li Auto officially enters Asia-Pacific markets.
By partnering with leading local players in each market and adapting our products and services to local regulations and user needs, we will bring Li Auto’s family-focused smart electric vehicles to more customers across the region and continue to advance our global expansion.”
