These are different seating and energy choices. The current L8 reference has five seats and a petrol range extender, with a 72.7 kWh battery. The i8 has three rows and six seats with battery-electric propulsion. Check your passenger needs and access to reliable charging before treating the similar names as direct equivalents.
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.
Separate hardware from online services
Ask for a vehicle-specific demonstration of language, account access, maps and charging compatibility. Mainland-China assistance, connectivity and OTA services are not automatically available overseas. Warranty scope and any modifications need written confirmation for your destination.
