Operating Expense Breakdown

Details core costs like R&D, marketing, and admin, offering insight into how efficiently Li Auto runs and where it’s prioritizing investment to drive growth and innovation.
Li Auto is clearly prioritizing R&D over near‑term profitability: R&D has stayed elevated through the model and chip rollouts (MAHE M100, MindVLA) while SG&A has been trimmed since late‑2024, reflecting cost discipline amid cash burn. Volatile “Other” items look like timing/one‑offs but have recently normalized. That mix supports a product‑led recovery if L8/L9 ramp and higher ASPs materialize, but sustained profitability and cash flow hinge on execution and scale—not on immediate cost cuts alone.
