What we know about Li Auto coming to Windsor
Rollout plan: Li Auto's Canadian entry is expected to begin in late 2026 to early 2027, prioritising high-EV-adoption metros first. Windsor sits within a first-wave province and should see availability shortly after the launch metros. Ontario 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 Windsor pricing: Estimated at $75,000 CAD with no provincial rebate currently available in Ontario. See the full Li Auto L9 price breakdown for Windsor.
While you wait: compare the L9 against rivals, check the 180 km range against Windsor winter conditions, and review full specs on the Li Auto L9 page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I buy the Li Auto L9 in Windsor 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 Windsor 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 Windsor availability is confirmed.
When is the Li Auto L9 release date in Windsor?
Windsor 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 Windsor 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 Windsor?
The Li Auto L9 is expected to be priced around $75,000 CAD (no provincial rebate currently available in Ontario). Chinese EVs are not eligible for the federal EVAP rebate. See our Windsor pricing breakdown for the full estimate.
