What is the curb weight of the Leapmotor C11?
2 Answers
The curb weight of the Leapmotor C11 is 1980kg. Explanation of vehicle weight: The lighter the vehicle weight, the faster the acceleration, and the more responsive the steering. It is easier to drift when cornering, but the cornering speed will be slower. A heavier vehicle weight does not necessarily mean slower acceleration; as long as the torque is increased sufficiently, acceleration can still be very fast. Vehicle curb weight refers to the vehicle's kerb mass. For motor vehicles whose curb weight parameter is not indicated on the driving license, the taxable tonnage is calculated as the difference between the gross vehicle weight and the approved load capacity. Methods to reduce vehicle weight: In terms of materials, lighter materials such as aluminum alloy and carbon fiber can be used. Nowadays, to reduce weight, most cars primarily use aluminum alloy, while only some expensive sedans or sports cars extensively use carbon fiber. In design, while ensuring structural rigidity, optimize structural design to reduce the use of excess materials, thereby saving weight and costs. When using the car, avoid placing too many unnecessary items in the trunk, as this not only occupies space and causes inconvenience when needing to store luggage but also adds extra weight to the car and increases fuel consumption.
I heard that the Leapmotor C11 has a curb weight of around 2,000 kg, depending on the configuration. The pure electric single-motor version is lighter at about 1,975 kg, while the dual-motor version weighs up to 2,150 kg. The range-extender version ranges between 1,960 kg and 2,200 kg. Weight affects many aspects—acceleration may be slower, but high-speed stability improves. A larger battery extends range but also increases energy consumption, especially with frequent starts and stops in city driving. For handling, SUVs have a higher center of gravity, so body roll is more noticeable during turns—be cautious not to take corners too fast. Before buying, check the official specs or test-drive to experience how weight impacts comfort and practicality. Safety-wise, heavier cars have longer braking distances and are more prone to skidding in wet conditions, so maintaining optimal tire pressure is crucial.
