With the increasing maturity of new energy technology, new energy vehicles have received more and more attention. In addition to pure electric vehicles, extended-range hybrids are also an option for new energy sources. The extended-range power can not only be charged, but also refueled, and the energy replenishment method is relatively flexible, and there is no endurance anxiety problem, so it is loved by many friends. Today, I will take you to see a range-extender medium and large family sedan - Leap C01.
For a family car, it must not only have a beautiful appearance, spacious space, but also be affordable. Leapmotor C01 provides two power systems: pure electric and extended range, of which the extended range version model has 3 different configurations, and the official guide price is 1458-16.Between 980,000, as a medium and large family car, such a ** is still relatively close to the people.
From the perspective of exterior styling, Leapmotor C01 adopts a simple and fashionable style, and the extended range version of the model is slightly different from the pure electric version of the model. With the addition of the engine, the front grille of the extended version of the Leap C01 adopts a hollow design for heat dissipation, and the headlight clusters on both sides of the front of the car have a sharp shape, which is connected by a through-type trim strip to effectively stretch the visual width.
From the side, the car's lines are very smooth, with a length of 5050mm, a width of 1902mm, a height of 1515mm, and a wheelbase of 2930mm, which is the standard size of a mid-size car, which also lays the foundation for a spacious ride. In addition, the vehicle also uses stylish elements such as hidden door handles and frameless doors to enhance the stylish atmosphere of the vehicle.
For excellent interior sound insulation, the front windows are equipped with double-laminated glass windows, while the rear seats are equipped with privacy glass. It not only brings good sound insulation, but also provides privacy for the riding space in the car. The rims are designed with a multi-spoke structure and the tire size is 235 50 R18, which also looks relatively stylish.
The rear of the car is also relatively simple, equipped with a slightly upturned "ducktail" design to increase the sporty atmosphere of the vehicle, the through-type taillights echo the headlights, and the brand logo that will glow in the middle to further enhance the vehicle's recognition.
The interior adopts a dark + light color matching, which is visually jumpy and will not look dull, and the cockpit materials are also more realistic, mostly covered with soft materials, and the touch is good. Details such as air conditioning vents, cup holders, and steering wheel are also embellished with bright chrome trim strips, giving it a certain sense of refinement.
The three screens on the center console effectively enhance the technological atmosphere in the cockpit. They are 1025-inch full LCD instrument screen, 128-inch central control screen as well as 1025-inch co-pilot entertainment screen.
The information displayed on the instrument screen is relatively rich, and navigation information, real-time speed, mileage, etc., can be displayed, which is convenient for users to view.
The central control screen is equipped with the Leapmotor OS intelligent vehicle machine system, which is supported by the computing power of Qualcomm 8155 automotive-grade chip, which is responsive, smooth to use, and has a good experience. You can use the following methods: Hello, Xiao Zero, wake up the intelligent voice assistant to help you complete operations such as opening the window, adjusting the air conditioner, navigating home, etc., to improve the convenience of using the car. At the same time, it is also equipped with a wealth of third-party entertainment apps, which have a certain degree of playability.
The entertainment screen in front of the passenger seat can be swiped, watched movies, and played games to increase the fun of the road.
In terms of configuration, the Leapmotor C01 Extended Range Edition is equipped with 360° panoramic image, full-speed adaptive cruise, lane departure warning, forward collision warning, lane keeping assist system, road traffic sign recognition and other practical functions, which can fully meet the needs of daily car use. The top-of-the-line model is equipped with a more functional L2 intelligent driving system to bring a better driving experience.
Thanks to the long body and wheelbase, the vehicle performs well in terms of space. There is plenty of headroom for both the front and rear rows. The front row has integrated sports seats, which are more enveloping, and also support electric adjustment.
The rear seat cushion is longer to bring good leg support, and the legroom is relatively generous, and the experiencer with a height of 165cm sits in the back row (the front row maintains its normal driving posture unchanged), and the legroom has a margin of about four fists, and the headroom also has a margin of about one fist, coupled with the almost flat floor design, even if the seat is full, it will not feel crowded. Overall, the ride space is relatively comfortable.
In terms of storage space, there are a number of practical storage compartments in the car, which is convenient for passengers to store their belongings.
In addition, the Leap C01 also has a trunk with a large opening, which is more convenient to pick up and place luggage. The interior space of the trunk is flat and the depth is relatively long, which can meet the daily luggage loading needs.
In terms of power, the Leap C01 extended range version is equipped with a 1A range extender system consisting of a 5L naturally aspirated engine + electric motor. The maximum engine power is 70 kW (95 ps), the maximum power of the permanent magnet synchronous motor is 200 kW (272 ps), and the maximum torque is 360 Nm.
The battery has a capacity of 301kwh and 43The 7kWh battery pack corresponds to a pure electric range of 216 km and 316 km, respectively, and a comprehensive range of more than 1,200 km. From the perspective of pure electric range, it can meet the needs of commuting, thereby reducing the cost of using the car, and there is no need to have endurance anxiety for long-distance travel.
During the test drive, we found that the vehicle's accelerator pedal was responsive, with a smooth start and a smooth acceleration experience. The steering system is excellent, with moderate force and smooth damping, which makes the car show dexterous handling performance on the road. Although this is a medium-sized and large family sedan with a length of more than 5 meters, it does not feel bulky to drive.
In terms of chassis, the Leapmotor C01 adopts a combination of double wishbone independent suspension and multi-link independent suspension. When passing through ditches, as long as the speed is appropriately reduced, the suspension system can effectively absorb vibrations and provide a comfortable ride. However, when encountering undulations on the road surface at high speeds, there will still be some "bouncing feeling" in the car.
Written at the end: On the whole, this Leap C01 has a concise and atmospheric exterior design, the interior has both texture and technology, and the space is large enough and the configuration is more realistic. The power system of the extended range also has certain advantages, there will be no range anxiety problem, and it is suitable for more car use scenarios. Also from 14Judging from the starting price of 580,000 yuan, it has a high cost performance ratio among models in the same class, and it is still worth seeing.
