Li Auto was founded in 2015 by Li Xiang in Beijing, originally operating under the Chinese name Chehejia before building its identity around the Li Auto brand and the Chinese name Lixiang.
The brand's visual identity has used a restrained, technology-focused wordmark and a compact emblem based on the letters L and i, reflecting its positioning as a smart electric vehicle maker. Its early public branding was closely associated with the Li ONE range-extended electric SUV, while later L-series and MEGA vehicles strengthened the cleaner, premium black-and-white identity. The logo history is relatively recent, with emphasis on consistency, legibility, and a modern digital-first appearance rather than frequent decorative redesigns.
