The all-new Li Auto Dreamer, the flagship MPV from Li Auto, has successfully achieved a five-star rating for electric vehicle fire safety certification from the China Consumer Quality Safety Promotion Association, overseen by the State Administration for Market Regulation. It scored full marks across all four evaluation categories, demonstrating exceptional safety performance.
This recognition follows the five-star rating awarded to the Li Auto FREE model in 2024, showcasing Li Auto’s continued excellence in electric vehicle safety.
According to data from the China Merchants Vehicle Technology Research Institute, electric vehicle fire incidents have been on the rise in recent years, characterized by their sudden onset, potential for significant harm, and challenges in firefighting. These factors represent the third major challenge hindering the sustained healthy development of the electric vehicle industry, alongside range anxiety and charging concerns, causing considerable discomfort for users.
To ensure higher quality, safety, and stability in the development of electric vehicles, research into fire safety is crucial. The China Merchants Vehicle Technology Research Institute led the development of the China Electric Vehicles Fire Safety Index (C-EVFI), which objectively assesses the overall safety performance of vehicles in the event of a fire, combining qualitative and quantitative evaluation standards to serve as a reference for vehicle development and consumer purchasing decisions.
The certification testing utilized the C-EVFI 2023 R1 protocol, which induces thermal runaway in target battery cells using the puncture method. The assessment covers four dimensions: safety alerts, emergency rescue, fire protection, and data linkage, with 11 secondary indicators and 25 evaluation criteria, thoroughly examining the safety performance of the vehicle’s battery and overall structure under thermal runaway conditions. Monitoring during the testing process included video, temperature sensors, gas concentration sensors, and infrared cameras to evaluate safety after a battery thermal runaway incident.
The all-new Li Auto Dreamer excelled in this certification test due to its outstanding battery management system, efficient thermal protection design, and comprehensive safety warning mechanisms, achieving full scores across all assessment categories and earning the highest five-star rating.
Li Auto’s CEO, Lu Fang, emphasized the strategic mission of state-owned enterprises in innovation, industry control, and safety support. Li Auto prioritizes user safety, continually striving to enhance product safety performance through technological innovation, providing users with a safer and healthier travel experience.
The “Amber Battery” used in the Li Auto Dreamer not only offers an extended electric range but also boasts exceptional safety features. It incorporates a precise 16-layer protective structure, meticulously optimized to ensure the battery maintains its safe and stable operation under various extreme conditions, creating an unyielding protective barrier for its core components. During dual cell thermal runaway tests, the battery exhibited no leakage, fire, explosion, or thermal diffusion.
The Cloud BMS Battery Doctor technology enables 24/7 real-time fault monitoring and alerts, intelligently analyzing historical data to construct warning models and initiating fault detection upon data anomalies. Additionally, the battery pack’s bottom features 1500 MPa ultra-high strength armor protection, capable of withstanding external impacts under extreme conditions, further enhancing the overall safety level of the vehicle.
As automotive consumption continues to evolve, consumers are increasingly focused on vehicle safety performance. Traditionally, MPVs, with their larger body, high center of gravity, short front, and limited crumple zones, were considered unsafe. However, the emergence of the Li Auto Dreamer has shattered this perception. The all-new Li Auto Dreamer Qian Kun version not only received a five-star safety certification from C-NCAP for passive safety but also achieved the industry-leading “Intelligent Driving Safety Five-Star Standard” for active safety capabilities. Its three-pronged approach to protection—passive safety, active safety, and mechanical safety—ensures comprehensive safeguarding for every journey, providing users with a safe and comfortable driving experience and setting a new benchmark for MPV safety.
With its outstanding safety performance and product quality, the all-new Li Auto Dreamer has garnered widespread recognition from consumers in the market. In February of this year, the Qian Kun version introduced two new variants, bringing advanced intelligent driving technology to the 350,000 yuan segment of new energy MPVs, allowing more users to experience the most advanced intelligent driving in the global market.
