Product reviewed

LIVIS L9 (export-market “L9 LIS”) — a hybrid electric vehicle with extended range (drives on electricity + gasoline). The video focuses on differences in the export version assembled in Kazakhstan—the first plant outside China for the LIVIS/Lisan brand.

Key features / what’s new vs previous L9 (“Foxes”)

Body & dimensions

  • Slightly larger: ~2.0 m width mentioned.
  • Wheelbase increased by +1.5 cm.

  • Chassis layout changes:

    • Front axle moved forward
    • Front overhang reduced
    • Rear overhang increased Result: more trunk space and a larger trunk niche.

  • Rear styling changes:

Comparisons made

  • Compared to earlier “previous Foxes” / earlier LIVIS L9 generation:
    • Changes in exterior proportions, overhangs, trunk and third-row space
    • Suspension/autopilot and interior electronics positioned as “new generation” upgrades

Verdict / recommendation

Overall: a flagship-level export-market update. The video presents the L9 Livis as a major leap in:

  • comfort
  • suspension/handling
  • autopilot perception/tech
  • premium interior features

It also reports competitive acceleration and strong luxury usability—especially rear passenger comfort, doors, and seating.
