Overview
edit
In April 2024, during the international auto show in Beijing, the premiere of the third, largest SUV in the Leapmotor offer took place, which is a response to, among others, the products of the company Li Auto.[2] The C16 was created as an enlarged version of the C10 model presented a year ago, sharing the characteristic angular proportions and styling of the front part of the body. To distinguish it, the C16 received a longer wheelbase, a longer body and a more shapely shaped rear part of the body.[3]
The passenger compartment has been designed in a minimalist aesthetic with dominant light-colored finishing materials, led by a 14.6-inch touchscreen multimedia system in the center of the dashboard. In addition, a display with digital clocks is located in front of the driver, while a drop-down 15.6-inch screen is provided for the rear passengers. The manufacturer also used a 21-speaker audio system, while the angular passenger cabin allowed for the transport of up to 6 passengers in a 2+2+2 seating arrangement.
Specifications
editLike other models in the Leapmotor range, the C16 was created with two types of drives in mind: Battery Electric (BEV) and Extended Range Electric (EREV). The C16 was initially launched as a BEV with 288 hp motor allowing for a maximum speed of up to 160 km/h, and a 67 kWh battery with up to 520 kilometers of range on the Chinese CLTC test cycle. The EREV variant has the same battery and 228 hp motor with an added 1.5-liter petrol engine. This extends the range by up to 230 kilometers. As with all EREV vehicles the petrol engine exclusively generates electricity which in turn drives the electric powertrain.[4]
