Highlight the point

As a large six-seater SUV, the price of 01 Leap C16 starts at only 155,800 yuan, aiming to redefine the reference for six-seat SUV car selection.

02 The model is launched in two models, pure electric and extended range, and the configuration is completely the same, only the power is different.

03 Among them, the extended-range version is divided into three types: the intelligent enjoyment version, the extreme version, and the intelligent driving version, with prices of 162,800 yuan, 179,800 yuan, and 196,800 yuan respectively.

04 Leapmotor C16 has excellent performance in terms of space layout, comfort configuration, intelligent driving, intelligent cockpit, etc., and has a high cost performance compared with competing products of the same level.

05 Overall, Leap C16 has a high attraction in the hearts of family users, and is the lowest threshold and the most acceptable choice in the 10-200,000 yuan market.

If "learning ideals" is also divided into levels, then Leap must be the highest ranked, whether it is a family-oriented product positioning or a matryoshka product strategy, Leap is the same as the ideal.

But the biggest difference between the two is that Ideal does not make cars below 200,000 yuan, while Leap is the opposite, and none of its products currently exceeds 200,000 yuan.

Even the just-released six-seater SUV and the current highest-end Leap C16 are only 155,800 yuan.

So how much experience can this "half-price ideal", which tries to redefine the reference for choosing a six-seater SUV, bring us a lot of experience?

Which is more valuable, 800V pure electric or extended range?

As in the past, the Leapmotor C16 has launched two models, pure electric and extended range, with prices starting at 155,800 yuan and 161,800 yuan respectively, which is even less than half of the ideal L8, which is also a large six-seater SUV.

Regarding the positioning of the pure electric version and the extended range version, Leapmotor C16 has achieved the same treatment, in addition to the different power under the same configuration, it is completely consistent in terms of space layout, comfort configuration, intelligent driving, intelligent cockpit, etc.

It is worth mentioning that the wheelbase of the Leap C16 is exactly the same as that of the previously released Leap C10, which is only 2825mm, but the interior space has increased from two to three rows.

To this end, the Leapmotor C16 has rearranged the internal structure, and the rear axle motor adopts backward flip technology, which turns the motor upside down, the output shaft is in the rear, and the motor body is in the front, making more space for the third row of legroom. As for the actual feeling, it is naturally impossible to cross Erlang's legs, but at least it can reach a level similar to that of the economy class of an airplane, and the seat will feel more comfortable, and there is no problem with a short ride.

In terms of voltage platform, the pure electric version exclusively occupies the 800V architecture, and it is also the only large six-seater SUV with an 800V platform under 200,000 yuan.

Compared with the flagship model of more than 300,000 yuan, the 800V platform of Leapmotor is mainly practical, and in terms of energy replenishment efficiency, the battery of Leapmotor C16 can reach up to 180kW, which can fully exert the capacity of public fast charging piles.

In terms of the core "three major pieces" of the family SUV, the Leap C16 is equipped with a large sofa and a rear color TV, and the second-row small table is also standard, but the refrigerator is missing.

However, considering the price starting at 155,800 and the positioning of the big six-seater, there shouldn't be many people picking on the eggs.

Which model is more worth buying? We take the extended range version as an example for analysis, from low to high divided into three types: smart enjoyment version, extreme version, and intelligent driving version, all of which are equipped with a power system composed of 1.5L 70kW range extender + 170kW motor, with a battery capacity of 28.4 degrees and a corresponding CLTC pure electric range of 200km.

From the perspective of configuration division, the premium version is the best value choice, priced at 162,800 yuan, which is only 7000 yuan more expensive than the entry-level smart version, but a series of comfort configurations have been added, including electric tailgate, front and rear seat heating and ventilation, second-row small table, steering wheel heating, etc., in addition to welcome lighting effects, privacy glass, rearview mirror folding and other functions.

The price of the intelligent driving version is 179,800 yuan, compared with the price increase of 18,000 yuan compared to the middle version, although it has been upgraded from ordinary L2 level assisted driving to high-end intelligent driving with lidar, but at present, it only supports high-speed use, and the scene is relatively limited.

The configuration strategy of the pure electric version is the same as that of the extended range version, and it is 6000 yuan more expensive than the extended range version under the same configuration, the main difference is that in terms of three electrics, the whole system is equipped with an 800V high-voltage platform, a 215kW single motor, and a 67.7 degree lithium iron phosphate battery, corresponding to a pure electric cruising range of 520km, which is more suitable for urban commuting, and if there is a heavy long-distance demand, it is more appropriate to choose the extended range version.

The king of volumes in the field of "half-price ideal".

For a three-row large six-seater SUV within 200,000 yuan, only eπ08 and Leap C16 want to be a "half-price ideal", so let's compare these two cars with the ideal L8 to see what the half-price ideal experience is?

In the comparison of the three models, we all choose the best value model, which completely fills up the comfort configuration and home attributes.

First of all, from the price point of view, Leap C16 is 26,000 yuan cheaper than the eπ008 released some time ago, and even probed to the range of BYD Song PLUS, the price threshold is lower, and it is a half-price ideal in the true sense.

The reason why Leapmotor C16 can achieve such a low price is first of all due to the sharing of parts system with C10, and even the general body architecture. Therefore, in terms of size, the C16 has a small advantage over its competitors, but it still does its best to make the three rows reach the level of the aircraft's economy class through the motor backward layout.

In terms of power, the motor performance and pure electric range of Leapmotor C16 are also slightly lower than eπ008, but the gap is not particularly large. As for the difference with the ideal, it is relatively large, which is also one of the core differences between the half-price ideal and the full-price ideal.

Another core difference lies in the chassis configuration, limited by the cost, the half-price ideal generally uses the MacPherson front overhang, but it also achieves a smaller turning radius, Leap C16 as a car close to 5 meters long, without rear-wheel steering, it can achieve a turning radius of 5.3 meters, and the handling is more flexible.

As a family-oriented product, the refrigerator in the car, the color TV, the large sofa and the comfort configuration are more critical. Leap Run C16The big sofa and color TV are well done,The actual ride comfort is very good,Front and rear heating and ventilation are all standard,But only one car refrigerator is missing,If it can be installed in the form of official accessories in the future,I believe it will be more competitive。

Overall,Leap C16Even in the field of "half-price ideal"This super subdivision,It has also achieved the performance of a cost-effective butcher,For family users,This price is less than half of the ideal L8Half of the car,At least in terms of comfort and interior atmosphere,It can achieve an ideal experience。

Write at the end

Leapmotor is a very good and pragmatic car company, ideal to open up the luxury daddy car market, Leap uses the same idea to capture the hearts of mainstream families.

In the market of 10-200,000 yuan, the demand of family users for large six-seater SUVs will only be higher than that of the market of more than 300,000 yuan, and the Leap C16, which insists on cost pricing, low brand premium and high product value, is undoubtedly the lowest threshold and the most acceptable choice for this part of the users.

So what do you think of the performance of this product, and whether its pricing meets your expectations, welcome to leave a message with us in the comment area to discuss.
