The Leapmotor C01 is a "mid-to-large-sized intelligent electric coupe" labeled as a "
New Car," and a representative work of Leapmotor's strategy of bringing a 5050mm length, 2930mm wheelbase, and 8155-seat cabin into the 140,000 yuan price range. Its frameless front fascia and sloping roofline result in a drag coefficient as low as 0.226, making it longer than a used Volkswagen Magotan and more agile than a boxy commercial light
commercial vehicle, allowing for easy U-turns in underground parking garages.
The interior boasts a triple-screen setup, maximizing its technological appeal: a 10.25-inch LCD instrument cluster, a 14.6-inch 2.5K central control screen, and a 10.25-inch passenger entertainment screen, all powered by a Snapdragon 8155 chip, supporting four-zone voice control, transparent chassis information, and full-vehicle FOTA (Firmware Over-The-Air) updates. Heated, ventilated, and massaging front seats are standard across the range. The rear seatbacks are adjustable and can be folded down in a 4/6 split. The trunk has sufficient regular volume, with a 2-meter depth when folded down, allowing for the flat placement of skis and carry-on suitcases. The space is more organized than other new energy SUVs in the same price range, and the battery does not encroach on the floor.
Powertrain options include pure electric and range-extended versions: the pure electric version features a 200kW rear-mounted motor, achieving 0-100km/h in 7.5 seconds, with a CLTC range of 525-625km; the range-extended version uses a 1.5L range extender and a 200kW motor, offering a pure electric range of 316km and a combined range of 1276km, with a fuel consumption of 4.9L/100km when the battery is depleted, requiring only 92-octane gasoline. The rear-engine, rear-wheel-drive configuration combined with the CTC integrated chassis makes high-speed cruising more stable than pure electric
new energy vehicles, and also provides a more exhilarating acceleration experience compared to traditional naturally aspirated engines.
Compared to commercial MPVs, its shorter body makes parking easier; compared to older used models, the new car features a passenger-side entertainment screen and Level 2 autonomous driving capabilities; compared to other pure electric vehicles in its class, it offers a 5050mm length, 625km range, and frameless doors at a price point around 140,000 RMB, making it suitable for city commuting and weekend getaways, transforming the "Panamera alternative" into a subtly luxurious vehicle.
