What we know about Li Auto coming to Victoria
Rollout plan: Li Auto's Canadian entry is expected to begin in late 2026 to early 2027, prioritising high-EV-adoption metros first. Victoria sits within a first-wave province and should see availability shortly after the launch metros. British Columbia is part of the first-wave launch region, which shapes when the L9 is likely to be orderable locally.
Certification & import status: Before any sale, the Li Auto L9 must meet Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS). New Chinese-made EVs have also faced a 100% import surtax, which directly affects launch timing and pricing. For the current state of play, read our 2026 Chinese EV tariff guide.
Expected Victoria pricing: Estimated at $75,000 CAD with no provincial rebate currently available in British Columbia. See the full Li Auto L9 price breakdown for Victoria.
While you wait: compare the L9 against rivals, check the 180 km range against Victoria winter conditions, and review full specs on the Li Auto L9 page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I buy the Li Auto L9 in Victoria right now?
No. As of 2026, the Li Auto L9 — like all Chinese-built EVs — is not yet on sale in Canada. Li Auto sits within a first-wave province and should see availability shortly after the launch metros, with availability in Victoria projected for late 2026 to early 2027. The best way to be first in line is to reserve your spot and get notified the moment Victoria availability is confirmed.
When is the Li Auto L9 release date in Victoria?
Victoria falls into the first wave (secondary) of the expected Canadian rollout, with a projected window of late 2026 to early 2027. Timing depends on dealer network buildout, vehicle certification with Transport Canada, and the evolving tariff situation on Chinese-made EVs. Dates are estimates and not yet officially confirmed by Li Auto.
Can I import a Li Auto L9 to Victoria myself before launch?
Privately importing a new Li Auto L9 into Canada is generally not practical today: the vehicle must meet Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS), and new Chinese-made EVs have faced a 100% import surtax. For almost all buyers, waiting for the official Li Auto Canadian launch is the realistic path. Read our tariff explainer for the latest on the import situation.
How much will the Li Auto L9 cost in Victoria?
The Li Auto L9 is expected to be priced around $75,000 CAD (no provincial rebate currently available in British Columbia). Chinese EVs are not eligible for the federal EVAP rebate. See our Victoria pricing breakdown for the full estimate.
Will there be a Li Auto dealer in Victoria?
