Yandex Uzbekistan announced a technological partnership with the Chinese manufacturer Li Auto. As part of the agreement, the Yandex Auto platform will be integrated into the multimedia system of the new premium crossover Li L9, which has officially entered the Uzbekistan market.
Car owners will be able to use Yandex Maps, Yandex Fuel, Yandex Music, Yandex Books, and Yandex Video services directly from the car's screens. Navigation will take into account real-time traffic conditions, show cameras and roadworks, and the fuel payment service will allow finding gas stations and paying for refueling without leaving the car.
All functions will work through Yandex ID, so users can save routes, favorite places, playlists, and continue watching movies or listening to audiobooks from the same spot. The Li L9 also received a hybrid power plant with a range of up to 1650 km, an 800-volt architecture, active suspension, and an intelligent multimedia system.
In Uzbekistan, the cost of the Li L9 will be from 1.099 billion soums for the Ultra version and 1.299 billion soums for the Livis trim. Sales will be conducted through official dealers with a warranty, service maintenance, and support for OTA updates.
