In the media interview after the new car launch, Leapmotor executives revealed that the Leapmotor C16 is expected to be released at the Beijing Auto Show in April this year, and will be launched and delivered in mid-2024. This car will be Leapmotor’s first model equipped with 800V fast charging.

Zhu Jiangming, chairman, founder and CEO of Leapmotor, said that Leapmotor and BYD are not on the same track. Leopmotor believes that the extended-range model has more advantages. A plug-in hybrid with low battery life is neither economical nor good in experience, let alone being intelligent. Therefore, Leapmotor is learning from the Li Auto, and learning from the Li L7.

In November last year, several car bloggers posted a picture of the Leapmotor C16 on Weibo. The new car has a “huge” silhouette and is expected to be positioned as a full-size SUV. Its side shape reveals a hardcore atmosphere without too many complicated lines as embellishments. At the rear of the car, the car uses a through-type taillight set, and the “C16” car name can be vaguely seen in the tail mark in the lower right corner.

Leapmotor has revealed that the Leapmotor C16 will be launched simultaneously as a pure electric and extended-range model, developed based on an 800V high-voltage platform and supporting fast charging.

At present, the official has not announced the specific configuration information of this new car.

The post Leapmotor C16 is expected to launch in April this year with 800V high-voltage platform appeared first on TechGoing.

In terms of the upgrade logic of new models, Leapmotor’s philosophy is that every year’s technology and product iterations are carried out neatly as a family. Therefore, after the release of the C16, other Leapmotor models are also expected to be equipped with 800V technology. In addition, Leapmotor may launch a compact sedan/SUV in the future, which may be named the A series and positioned lower than the C series currently on sale.

“Leapmotor C01 no longer provides a 717km range model”

In terms of model settings, Leapmotor said that from a market perspective, the sales of pure electric models with a range of more than 700km are not the best. Most users believe that a range of 500-600km is actually completely sufficient for daily car needs. Therefore, the focus of zero-running models is still on the range of 500-600km. And judging from the current trend, there are more and more applications of high-voltage platforms, charging speeds are getting faster and faster, and battery life anxiety will be further reduced. Therefore, the model settings have been optimized and the 700km battery life model has been removed.

“Leapmotor running C10”

In terms of international market layout, Leapmotor T03 and C10 will soon be exported to Europe. By cooperating with Stellantis Group, Leapmotor can quickly obtain more and better channel resources around the world, including parts distribution system, service system, etc. EU certification for Leapmotor will not be completed until the third quarter of 2024. The goal is to develop more than 200 sales outlets this year and start selling new cars in September. It is hoped that European sales can reach 6,000-10,000 units in 2024.

Looking at the appearance of the Leapmotor C10, it can be clearly seen that the car is different from the previously launched Leapmotor C11, Leapmotor C01 (panoramic view of the car) and other models. This is because the Leapmotor C10 adopts the latest design language. The front face It has a closed shape, and the through-type light group and the large-sized narrow-strip air intake below further reflect the car’s sense of hierarchy. In addition, the car is also equipped with a lidar above the roof, which is expected to provide more advanced intelligent driving assistance functions.

“Aito M5”

“Neta U”

At present, there are not many medium-sized SUVs in the domestic market that have both extended range power and pure electric power. From the perspective of segmented power, the Wenjie M5 may be regarded as one of its competitors for the extended-range model, but if compared at the price level, the Leapmotor C10 extended-range version has more advantages in terms of cost and performance. Regarding the pure electric version, the Leapmotor C10 pure electric version will seize the market share of compact SUVs, such as Nezha U, Geometry C and other models.
