When "you can't have it both ways" meets "everything is as possible", it's time to use your imagination and creativity.
In 2024, new energy vehicles will occupy half of the auto market, and the tracks of major market segments will be basically "full". Instead of constantly "internal friction" in the fierce competition, it is better to open up a new track by yourself.
Thus, a whole new category of automobiles was born.
On June 28, Leapmotor officially launched its new car, Leapmotor C16. Based on the LEAP 3.0 technology architecture, the new car with a starting price of 155,800 yuan is a new category of "MPSUV", which combines the space advantages of MPVs and the styling style and functions of SUVs, giving people a refreshing feeling.
Repair the appearance on the outside, and repair the health on the inside
In terms of design, the Leapmotor C16 still has obvious family-style design elements.
The simple front face uses a large number of soft curved surfaces, and the headlight cluster is shaped like a double-edged headlight, which is very recognizable. The waistline of the body is slightly raised, and the row of windows makes the roof visually show a stronger sense of suspension, taking into account both fashion and toughness, while the horizon through taillights complement the style of the vehicle, creating a sense of science and technology at the same time, highlighting the warmth and beauty of a family car.
Of course, the focus has to be on the new cockpit experience of the Leapmotor C16.
This time, the cockpit of the new car is made of OEKO-TEX®STANDARD 100 certified environmentally friendly materials, and a large number of healthy materials such as low-odor soundproof cotton, bio-based foaming materials, and polyolefin damping sheets.

The space is flexible and the comfort configuration is also complete
Thanks to the 2825mm wheelbase and the design of the wide-body body, it lays the foundation for the large space of the Leap C16. Thanks to the all-round optimization made by the engineers, its effective space utilization rate reached 67.2%, and the cabin volume even reached 5290L.
In addition, due to the adoption of CTC2.0 chassis battery integration technology, the Leapmotor C16 platform has achieved a flat effect. As a result, the space in the second and third rows has been freed up even more.
The 160 mm wide central aisle further facilitates access for rear passengers. In terms of configuration, the second-row seats are equipped with heating/ventilation functions and provide small tables; The three-row seats support 10-degree adjustment of the backrest, so that the family sitting in the back seat can also get a relaxed and relaxed riding experience.
In addition, the new car supports flexible switching between 4/5/6 seats, the trunk volume can be expanded to a maximum of 1022L, plus 34L sunken space can also be used to store some, such as baby bottles, clothes that need to be placed separately.
At the level of comfortable configuration, the Leapmotor C16 is equipped with a panoramic sunroof with an area of up to 19,900c㎡ and a 10,066cm² large transverse side window, which makes the vehicle more transparent, and compared with the traditional model panoramic sunroof that only takes care of the experience of the front passengers, the rear passengers on the Leapmotor C16 look up and look up at the beautiful scenery of the galaxy.
In order to optimize the audio-visual experience, the new car is equipped with a 12-speaker audio system, if you want a more pure vocal enjoyment, the optional 7.1.4 sound field layout of the 21-speaker audio system, the optional package also contains multi-color atmosphere lights, decorating a more immersive audio-visual atmosphere.
As a new energy vehicle, the car is equipped with a more energy-saving heat pump air conditioner; And configurations such as air quality testing and PM2.5 filtration devices are not absent.
Technology empowers, safety/entertainment in place
When products of the same level are still using Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chips, Leapmotor C16 has been loaded with "more heavyweight" SA8295P smart chips.
At the same time, the 14.6-inch touch-screen central control screen and the 10.25-inch full LCD instrument are just as much. Users can also choose an additional 15.6-inch rear ceiling multimedia entertainment screen to polish their driving life. Enabled by 5G network and vehicle OTA upgrades, the user experience is better.
The new car is equipped with LEAPMOTOR OS 4.0 in-vehicle system, including Kugou Music, iQiyi, WeSinger, Mango TV, Youku Video, NetEase Cloud Music and other rich ecological entertainment applications, and supports Face ID one-click setting to define scenes. In addition, the small zero natural voice assistant can be seen and spoken, 60 seconds of continuous dialogue and four-tone positioning, which can take care of more people's interactive experience, and you can control everything with your mouth, which will bring a more convenient car experience.
In terms of driving assistance and safety, the new car is equipped with an Orin-X chip with a computing power of 284TOPS and up to 30 high-precision sensors, which can realize the NAP intelligent driving experience covering national highways and some urban expressways, and at the same time support urban NAC assisted cruise, further liberating the driver, no matter how many traffic lights, there is no need to be irritated by tedious driving operations.
In addition, merging assist, lane departure warning, lane keeping, road traffic sign recognition and front/rear collision warning, active braking and other functions are also in place, the new car also has a 360 ° panoramic image + chassis perspective, effectively eliminating blind spots in the field of vision, and "parking difficulty friendly function" - automatic parking, remote control parking, driving easier and safer.
It has to be said that the Leap C16 also has a good passive safety performance.
The car adopts a ring cage integrated body with four annular path structures, with 75% high-strength steel and aluminum mixed materials, and the key parts are cast with hot-stamping steel with a strength of 2000Mpa, accounting for about 16% of the proportion of the vehicle, and then through the design of 9 horizontal and 3 longitudinal beam floors for structural strengthening, to further enhance the impact resistance of the vehicle, to achieve the combination of active and passive all-round safety protection without dead ends, travel more secure.
Battery safety is also a link that cannot be ignored.
At the same time, the battery pack of Leapmotor C16 has undergone multiple tests such as extrusion, water soaking, and thermal runaway detonation between getting into the car, and the safety is guaranteed, and at the same time, it integrates technologies such as electric drive AI cloud diagnosis, AI BMS big data intelligent battery management system, and integrated thermal management system battery pack to monitor the battery around the clock, and will deal with it immediately once there is an abnormality, which can effectively prevent battery thermal runaway.
Extended/pure electric optional, equipped with 800V fast charging
In terms of power configuration, Leapmotor C16 provides users with an extended range version and a pure electric version, with two power options to choose from.
Among them, the extended-range version of the model is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power of 70kW as the "power bank" of the motor, matched with a rear permanent magnet synchronous motor with a maximum power of 170kW and a peak torque of 320N·m, the official 0-100km/h takes 8.46 seconds, and the fuel consumption in the state of power loss is 6.19L/100km.
In CLTC mode, the extended-range model has an all-electric range of 200 km and a combined range of up to 1,095 km, and supports a fast charging mode that increases the battery level from 30% to 80% in 30 minutes.
