How does it compare?
Range
When it comes to distance, the LI ONE truly flexes its muscles. With a staggering range of 890 km (553 miles), it leaves the competition in the dust. The Tesla Model Y, with its 505 km (314 miles) range, feels respectable but not outstanding. The Ford Mustang Mach-E manages a decent 434 km (270 miles), while the BMW iX3, reaching 460 km (286 miles), and the Hyundai Ioniq 5 with 480 km (298 miles), appear modest in comparison.
Acceleration
Now, for the pedal-to-the-metal enthusiasts, the LI ONE sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in a sensible 6.5 seconds. It’s middle of the pack, flanked by the assertive Tesla Model Y at 5.0 seconds, and the aggressive Mustang Mach-E at 5.8 seconds. The BMW iX3 fares slightly slower at 6.8 seconds, while the Hyundai Ioniq 5 offers a brisk 5.2 seconds, cutting through any doubts about its sporty credentials.
Power
With a robust 333 horsepower under the hood, the LI ONE ensures it isn’t just coasting on its impressive range. The Tesla Model Y offers a supreme 450 horsepower, almost mocking the competition. The Mustang Mach-E follows suit with 346 horsepower, while the BMW iX3 trails at 286 horsepower, and the Hyundai Ioniq 5 with 305 horsepower rounds out the lot.
Charging Time
Charging prowess is the Achilles’ heel of many an EV. The LI ONE charges its 40.5 kWh battery in a commendable 6.5 hours on a home charger, or 35 minutes to 80 percent on a fast charger. The Tesla Model Y triumphs with its vast Supercharger network, demanding just 30 minutes for the same feat. The Mach-E requires about 45 minutes, the BMW iX3 approximately 6-7 hours, and the Ioniq 5 impressively manages a brisk 18 minutes.
Price
Pocket depth determines desires, and here’s where the LI ONE shines. With an entry-level price of $55,000 (£42,000 or €50,000), its competitive. By contrast, the Tesla Model Y demands a heftier $60,000 (£45,000 or €54,500). The Mustang Mach-E is slightly friendlier at $52,000 (£39,000 or €47,000). The BMW iX3 sits pricier at $65,000 (£48,500 or €59,000), while the Hyundai Ioniq 5 aligns closely with $50,000 (£38,000 or €45,800).
