Compared with the 5-seater model, the 6-seater SUV has a clear advantage, that is, it can bring a more comfortable ride to the passengers in the second row. It is precisely because of this that in recent years, large 6-seater SUVs have also become more popular among family users.
As a result, many car companies have also launched SUV models with large 6 seats.
On June 28, Leapmotor's new medium and large SUV Leapmotor C16 was officially launched, and this car is also positioned as a large 6-seater family SUV. A total of six models were launched, including a range-extended hybrid version and a pure electric version, with prices ranging from CNY 155,800~CNY 185,800.
As the first 6-seater SUV of Leapmotor, it is obvious that the launch of Leapmotor C16 is aimed at family users. What are the advantages of this car in terms of product power? Can it become a dark horse in the 6-seater SUV market?
Let's talk about the above two questions.
Let's talk about product power first, Leapmotor C16 still adopts the same design style as Leapmotor C11 and C10 in terms of exterior design, making the new car very recognizable. However, for people who don't know much about Leapmotor, there is a high probability that this car will be regarded as a model of Li Auto, because it is very close to the ideal exterior design, especially the rear of the car.
In terms of body size, the length, width and height of Leapmotor C16 are 4915/1905/1770 mm, and the wheelbase is 2825 mm, which is currently the largest SUV model under Leapmotor. It's just that the wheelbase of the Leap C16 is slightly shorter, less than 2.9 meters like the Leap C10. The wheelbase of the Leap C11 has reached 2.93 meters.
Like the exterior, the Leapmotor C16 also continues the design language of the Leapmotor family in the interior, which is very simple, and the workmanship materials of the interior are exquisite and luxurious. All models are equipped with a 14.6-inch floating central control screen and a 10.25-inch full LCD instrument panel that support 2.5K high-definition display as standard, and the car machine system is built into the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295P chip as the ideal L8.
Compared with Leap C10, Leap C16 is also richer in intelligent configuration, all models support four-tone no-wake recognition, and multimedia control area is also added in the rear row. If you want to have a better riding experience, you can also choose a 15.6-inch rear LCD screen, which can be used for all models.
On the mid- and high-end models, it also adds functions such as fatigue driving reminder, facial recognition, ventilation and heating of the front and rear seats, rear small tables, rear independent air conditioning and electric induction trunk.
The extended range and pure electric to the top model are also equipped with lidar and NVIDIA's intelligent driving assistance chip to support automatic driving assistance in high-speed sections, and the intelligent driving function is also more powerful.
The extended-range hybrid is powered by a 1.5-liter engine and a range-extender hybrid system. Equipped with a 28.4-degree lithium iron phosphate battery, it has a pure electric range of 200 kilometers, 000 acceleration in 8.46 seconds, and supports fast charging. The comprehensive range of full fuel and full power can reach 1095 kilometers, and the fuel consumption of feed is 5.4 liters per 100 kilometers.
The all-electric version is equipped with a rear-mounted single motor, which is also equipped with a lithium iron phosphate battery with a battery energy of 67.7 kWh. It has an all-electric range of 520 kilometers and accelerates from zero to 100 in 6.37 seconds. Thanks to the 800V silicon carbide platform, it only takes 15 minutes to charge from 30% to 80%.
In addition, the all-electric version is equipped with a heat pump air conditioner, which supports an external discharge function of 3.3 kilowatts.
After talking about product power, let's discuss the second question - whether Leapmotor C16 will become a dark horse in the domestic large 6-seat SUV market.
Compared with the ideal L8 6-seater SUV with relatively good sales at present, although the performance of Leap C16 is not advantageous in terms of body size, technology configuration and power, the starting price of 155,800 yuan is the core competitiveness of Leap C16. And at this price, the product power of Leap C16 is not bad.
In addition, compared with the ideal L8, Leapmotor C16 not only has an extended-range hybrid version of the model, but also a pure electric version of the model for users to choose from, and the product line is more abundant.
To sum up, in the car quick review, Leap C16 is a model tailored for those who want to buy the ideal L8 but the budget is not sufficient, the price is close to the people and the relatively rich configuration, even if it will not become a dark horse in the 6-seat SUV market, but the market performance is still very worth looking forward to.
