Redefining In-Vehicle Communication Standards from Real-World Scenarios
In the era of intelligent vehicles, leading connectivity capabilities are not only a crucial foundation for an intelligent experience but also a core competency to ensure user experience. Li Auto has always adhered to a user-centric approach, continuously deepening its efforts in the field of in-vehicle cellular communications, constantly pushing technological boundaries, and striving to create a more stable, efficient, and intelligent in-vehicle communication experience for users. We deeply understand that the in-vehicle communication environment in real driving scenarios is extremely complex. Whether in suburban areas, on highways, in remote mountainous regions, in weak coverage scenarios like underground garages, or with complex demands such as multi-user concurrency and high-bandwidth services, higher requirements are placed on network stability and connectivity capabilities.
Based on extensive user research and real-world scenario analysis, Li Auto has continuously elevated its technical standards, restructured its new-generation in-vehicle communication platform, and pioneered the launch of a triple-SIM dual-pass dual-5G platform and a 5G-A high-bandwidth platform, achieving a comprehensive upgrade from the underlying architecture to core capabilities. After years of continuous iteration and optimization, Li Auto has achieved significant improvements in 5G communication performance. It not only fully meets the dual-5G network performance requirements of China’s three major telecom operators but also undergoes deep optimization centered on the real user experience. Focusing on key technical directions such as intelligent network selection and reconnection, and priority service assurance, systematic innovation is continuously carried out to enhance network stability, connection efficiency, and intelligence in complex environments. At the same time, Li Auto continues to strengthen its layout in core underlying technologies such as in-vehicle communication platforms, 5G-A, and dual-5G dual-pass, building a more stable, intelligent, and smooth network connection capability through a software-hardware integrated innovation system, delivering a truly perceptible upgrade in the intelligent travel experience for users.
SGS Rigorous Verification: Achieving Excellent Performance Levels Across Four Dimensions
During the collaboration, SGS conducted an independent, comprehensive, and rigorous evaluation of Li Auto’s 5G High-Performance Intelligent Cockpit Platform. The testing process went beyond simply checking “whether 5G is available.” SGS broke down the in-vehicle connection experience into four core dimensions: connection stability, bandwidth adequacy, weak signal recovery capability, and the ability to guarantee critical services under network congestion. Test results showed that Li Auto’s 5G High-Performance Intelligent Cockpit Platform exceeded standard limits across all four dimensions—triple-SIM dual-pass capability, 5G-A ultra-high bandwidth capability, intelligent network selection capability, and game/low-latency service acceleration capability—achieving an excellent performance level.
Exchange session between both parties
Li Auto Vice President Gou Xiafei stated: “We have always placed great importance on the objective verification of product capabilities and the construction of industry standards. This collaboration with SGS is precisely aimed at using a professional, rigorous, and objective evaluation system to help users more intuitively understand the comprehensive strength of the new Li Auto L9 Livis in 5G communication capabilities, and to ensure that high-quality product capabilities truly withstand industry and market scrutiny. We believe that authoritative certification is not only recognition of product technical strength but also a crucial cornerstone of user trust. In the future, Li Auto will continue to drive innovation in intelligent connected vehicle technology, delivering a more stable, reliable, and higher-quality intelligent travel experience for users.”
SGS China Vice President Zhao Hui stated: “Congratulations to Li Auto on receiving this honor. This Mark is not only recognition of its phased technical achievements but also a systematic verification oriented toward real user scenarios. For the industry, we hope that the SGS Premium Performance Mark can offer an evaluation approach that goes beyond ‘parameter competition.’ In the past, people tended to focus on single indicators like ‘peak data rates,’ but what users truly experience is a stable, continuous, and smooth overall experience. Through a clear testing protocol and quantified results, SGS translates these experiences into a ‘common language’ that the entire industry can communicate, guiding competition back onto a healthy track centered around user experience.

For users, the SGS Mark is a trustworthy reference. Users don’t need to understand all the technical details, but they can know that this cockpit communication capability has undergone independent and rigorous testing, capable of supporting a more stable experience across multiple real-world scenario dimensions. This is precisely the deep reason why many manufacturers choose SGS—not just for a Mark, but to leverage SGS’s global expertise to solidify product quality and experience advantages into consumer trust in the product.”
