The trunk volume of the S01 is 237 liters without folding down the rear seats, and 690 liters with the rear seats folded down. The Leapmotor S01 is a pure electric vehicle equipped with a 125kW electric motor, which delivers a maximum torque of 250 Nm. The S01 features a two-door coupe design with a yacht-style floating roof, and its simple yet sporty styling gives it a low drag coefficient of just 0.29. Its dimensions are 4075mm in length, 1760mm in width, and 1380mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2500mm and a minimum ground clearance of 120mm.









My S01 has an officially claimed trunk capacity of 237 liters, which can easily accommodate three to four large shopping bags or one 28-inch suitcase plus a carry-on. Despite its coupe styling, the trunk opening height is reasonably designed for convenient loading and unloading. However, it might struggle with bulky items like strollers or snowboards due to the compact body dimensions. I recommend visiting a dealership to test it yourself—try fitting a standard-sized suitcase inside. Note that the rear seats don't fold down, which is slightly less versatile than some hatchbacks, but the space is perfectly adequate for young commuters' daily needs.

During my last test drive of the S01, I paid special attention to the trunk space. The 237-liter capacity is equivalent to 20 standard airline carry-on suitcases. In actual testing, after placing two carry-on suitcases, there was still room for two backpacks, making it perfectly adequate for daily commuting. However, it's worth noting that as a rear-wheel-drive electric vehicle with a battery pack under the floor, the load floor is slightly higher than that of similarly sized gasoline-powered cars. When loading large items, the trunk depth is quite good, but the opening width is somewhat affected by the fastback design. It's advisable to measure large items with a tape measure before loading, and for online shopping boxes, it's best to flatten them before placing them inside. Additionally, there's a small front trunk, which is very convenient for storing charging cables or umbrellas.

The S01 has a standard trunk capacity of 237 liters, which is considered average among small pure electric vehicles. I conducted a test using cases of mineral water bottles—it can hold 16 cases of 24 bottles vertically, approximately 3 more cases than the Ora Good Cat. Its advantage lies in the flat inner walls of the trunk, allowing full utilization of all four corners. However, the fastback design limits vertical height, making it difficult to fit large potted plants. If you frequently need to carry cargo, it's recommended to choose foldable storage boxes with Velcro to improve space utilization. For weekend trips to IKEA, two LACK side tables without packaging can be placed horizontally.

As a daily commuter car, I've been using the S01's 237-liter trunk for over two years. Golf bags need to be inserted diagonally, but foldable strollers can be placed vertically. The most practical feature is the hidden storage compartment under the trunk floor, perfect for storing a first aid kit and tool box. When loading large items, note: the narrowest opening is 87 cm, depth is 98 cm, and height is only 50 cm at the center due to the rear window slope. My usual technique is placing heavy items at the very back and stacking lighter boxes on top. When fully loaded, the rear ground clearance decreases by about 3 cm, so be careful about scraping the undercarriage on rough roads.

When researching the storage space of electric vehicles, I found the 237-liter trunk of the S01 quite interesting. Actual measurements showed that with the front passenger seat folded down, it can fit a 1.8-meter-long surfboard. Under normal use, it can accommodate a 28-inch suitcase plus a 20L hiking backpack. However, it's worth noting that the electric hatchback has limited opening height, so be mindful of overhead obstacles in underground parking garages. I usually keep a capacity reference sticker on the B-pillar: roughly equivalent to the capacity of 15 standard carry-on suitcases. For modifications, I recommend adding mesh pockets to secure loose items, and the OEM trunk mat is a must-buy—otherwise, the fabric surface above the battery pack can easily get dirty.
