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.[1] 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.[2]
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 drive in mind: electric and hybrid. The first specification was created by a 288 hp engine allowing for a maximum speed of up to 160 km/h, with a 67 kWh battery offering up to 520 kilometers of range according to the Chinese CLTC measurement procedure. The hybrid variant was powered by a 1.5-liter petrol engine with 94 hp and an electric unit with 228 hp, offering up to 230 kilometers of range in fully electric mode.[3]
