Start with five seats versus three rows. The i6 page is currently a 2026 preview, with launch announced for 28 October; its final numbers are intentionally left unconfirmed here. The i8 official page gives 780 km CLTC for its rear-wheel-drive reference. Do not compare that figure against an earlier i6 without matching the year.
Start with the model year
Model names can stay the same while dimensions, batteries, seating and equipment change. Compare the exact year and trim, then confirm the offered vehicle’s specification sheet. A launch photograph does not establish equipment on another version.
Compare how you use the space
Consider passengers, child seats, luggage and third-row access together. The current L8 official page describes five seats, whereas earlier L8 references describe six. The i8 is a three-row six-seat reference. Confirm seating against the actual vehicle before deciding.
Choose around your charging routine
L-series references use electric drive with a petrol range extender. i6, i8 and MEGA are battery electric. Assess home charging, local rapid chargers and long-distance routes. CLTC laboratory figures are a comparison reference, not a guaranteed trip distance.
