LiXiang L7 L8 L9 Maintenance Guide — Riyadh Service Center 2026

Size and weight matter. The L9 is much larger: a 7-passenger SUV weighing over 2.5 tons. The L8 is mid-sized with 6 seats. The L7 is the smallest and lightest. So the brakes, tires and suspension on the L9 take more stress and need inspection more often. We recommend L9 owners inspect brakes every 10,000 km instead of 15,000.

Battery sizes are similar across the three models, though exact capacity varies by model year and trim, so check your vehicle's specifications. L9 consumption is higher because of its size and weight. An L9 battery therefore usually goes through more charge and discharge cycles over the same distance, and an annual battery health check is worth doing.

The generator engine in LiXiang EREVs is a small combustion engine that produces electricity to charge the battery. It needs its own engine oil and filter changes on the manufacturer's schedule. This engine takes a specific oil made for the EREV application, not standard engine oil.

The air suspension on the L9 (an option on some L7 and L8 trims) needs periodic inspection. Air suspension parts can develop leaks over time, and fixing a leak early costs much less than a full system repair.

LiXiang vehicles have several screens, and the larger models have more of them. Software updates keep these systems stable. Some updates may need a workshop visit, depending on the vehicle and the update.

FAQ: quick answers

Does a LiXiang need engine oil changes? Yes. The generator engine in the L7, L8 and L9 needs oil and filter changes on schedule, even though it never drives the wheels. Skipping them is the most expensive mistake EREV owners make.

Is there LiXiang service in Saudi Arabia? Yes. EVS Riyadh services LiXiang models with diagnostic equipment that reads the brand's fault codes, covering the battery, generator engine, air suspension and software updates.

Is an imported LiXiang covered by warranty in the Kingdom? Usually not. Most LiXiangs arrived through parallel import, so the Chinese coverage doesn't apply locally. EVS Extended Warranty plans in 1, 2 and 3 year terms can cover the high-voltage battery, motor and charging system after an inspection.
