2 Answers
Leapmotor S01 is the first model under Leapmotor, a compact pure electric vehicle with body dimensions of 4075mm in length, 1760mm in width, and 1380mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2500mm. In terms of power, the Leapmotor S01 is equipped with a 170-horsepower electric motor, delivering a maximum torque of 250 Nm, featuring a front-mounted motor layout and ternary lithium battery. For the suspension, the front suspension of the Leapmotor S01 uses a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension employs a torsion beam non-independent suspension. Exterior-wise, the Leapmotor S01 features full LED headlights, with the LED daytime running lights below and the LED light strip in the center of the front forming a continuous light strip, offering high recognizability.
I used to drive a Leapmotor S01, and I found it to be a pretty cool electric coupe, perfect for tech-savvy young people like me. Its exterior design is stylish, with a sporty two-door look, and it accelerates quickly—going from 0 to 100 km/h in just over 6 seconds, which makes driving it a blast. The range is also decent, with the official claim being around 300 km, which is enough for daily commuting and even short weekend getaways. The smart features are a highlight—for example, you can unlock the car using facial recognition, it has automatic parking, and you can remotely activate the air conditioning via a mobile app, which is super convenient. The downside? The space is a bit tight, especially the rear seats, which aren’t very roomy, and the trunk isn’t huge. But for singles or young couples, it’s a great fit. Overall, it offers high value for the price—you can get one for just over 100,000 RMB, which is much more affordable than other electric cars in the same class.
