In fact, Li Auto told *[Bloomberg ]()*that the Mega is the largest mass-produced electric vehicle on the market. And while that claim needs an asterisk (or three) there's no doubting its gargantuan size. And yet, despite that size, and ability to seat seven people in lounge-like comfort, it's still almost 3,000 pounds lighter than the [Hummer EV](). Of course, the Hummer EV and Mega are two vastly different vehicles. The former is an electric off-roader with 1,000 horsepower and a 12,000-pound towing capacity. The latter is a people mover, with seven seats and the ability to turn its cabin into a lounge, movie theater, or even a bed. But even with its 6,139-pound curb weight, the Mega is still around one and a half tons lighter than the 9,063-pound Hummer EV. ![]() ![]() Shocking weight difference aside, the Li Auto is an interesting car in its own right. It might look like an Apple Magic Mouse with an allergic reaction but that funky shape makes it absolutely cavernous inside. Its second row features two captain's chairs, both with their own wireless phone chargers, which can be folded down flat and combined with the third-row bench to make a bed big enough for two. The front seats can slide so far backward that front passengers can fully extend their legs, recline, and watch a movie on the massive infotainment screen, as long as the car is parked and there aren't rear passengers. It also has seat massagers and a refrigerator. But the Mega isn't just a luxurious minivan. The embiggened Apple Mouse can get from 0-60 mph in 5.5 seconds and has an impressive 0.215 coefficient of drag. That low Cd is crucial in the Mega getting a claimed 441 miles of range, too. Two electric motors making 536 horsepower don't hurt, either. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Ok, so the Mega isn't technically the largest production EV in the world. At 210.6 inches long, 77.4 inches wide, and 72.8 inches tall, the Mega is shorter than the Rolls-Royce Spectre, narrower than a Hummer EV, and lower than a Rivian R1T, respectively. Li Auto didn't specify how it might be the largest EV but maybe it's talking about interior volume, which is admittedly vast. Regardless of whether the Mega is actually the biggest EV, it's a massive one with a big battery, impressive range, gobs of power, all-wheel drive, and a surprisingly quick 0-60 mph time, all while weighing about as much as a loaded Chevy Suburban. At $77,800, it's a bit pricey but the Mega proves that EVs can be big, luxurious family haulers without weighing as much as small tanks. *Got tips?

His love of cars began when he was just a kid playing Gran Turismo 3, grinding out enough race wins with a Mazda Miata to save up for an in-game RUF 911. That passion for small, lightweight sports cars drove his desire to learn more about the industry, get his hands on as many cars as he could, and bring those experiences to life on the page. He cut his teeth writing about BMWs, Volkswagens, and Audis, mostly, and has owned far too many of each. He’s on his fourth 3 Series sedan, but all of his old, cheap German cars have forced him to learn more about car maintenance than his mechanical capability can handle. Too many late nights have been spent scrambling to get a car running by morning so he could get to work. For some reason, he never seems to learn that old Bimmers probably aren’t the best daily drivers. But he loves more than just old German cars. He’ll gladly drive and discuss anything with four (or even three) wheels. Cars aren’t his only passions, though. Nico is also a big nerd and loves movies, video games, comic books, and cares far too much about the New York Giants. So don’t be surprised if you see football references or dumb, obscure movie quotes in any of his car reviews. ### Author social links [Instagram]() [LinkedIn]()
