Looking back on 2023, the new energy vehicle market will be "bloody", and after Tesla took the lead in cutting prices, it will continue to "involution" in terms of ** almost all year round. Such a "rush" has also allowed many new energy vehicle companies to hand over good answers. At the beginning of the new year in 2024, in addition to continuing the theme of "** war", what aspects will the new energy vehicle market "roll" to?
Among them, Leapmotor will take "intelligent driving" as the main force of this year, and launched Leapmotor C10, the new car provides an extended range version and a pure electric version, and the pre-sale price of the extended range version is 1518-18.180,000, the pre-sale price of the pure electric version is 1558-18.580,000, with LiDAR and 8295 chips. At present, the new car has not yet been officially launched, and the order has exceeded 2350,000 units. What is the strength of the new car? Let's take a look at it today.
First of all, let's take a look at the basic information, Leap C10 is a medium-sized SUV, the appearance is relatively simple, there is no complex line design, the most eye-catching appearance is the lidar on the roof, which can be expanded to L3 level of assisted driving ability through OTA upgrades.
The triple screen design on the C11 was canceled in the car, and the common central control screen was returned, 146-inch floating central control screen +10The 25-inch instrument screen, hidden air conditioning outlet design and two-spoke steering wheel have a very fresh feeling.
We found that some new energy vehicles do not have enough headroom in the car because the battery occupies the bottom position. The body size of the Leapmotor C10 is 4739 1900 1680mm, and the wheelbase is 2825mm. These parameters may not seem very conspicuous, but because the Leapmotor C10 is the first model built on the new four-leaf clover platform. On this platform, Leapmotor uses the advanced CTC 20 chassis battery integration technology. This technology places the square-shell battery cells directly under the seat, replacing the modular structure of the previous generation battery pack. As a result, the overall space utilization rate and longitudinal height have been significantly improved, so that passengers in the car have plenty of legroom and headroom, which will make even long-distance rides more comfortable.
When it comes to intelligent driving technology, we have to mention lidar, especially for high-end intelligent driving, lidar is a must-have configuration. "LiDAR" is indeed very fragrant, but it is also quite expensive, before that, most of the lidar models are more than 200,000 yuan. The two top models of Leapmotor C10 pure electric and extended range only cost more than 180,000 yuan, and they are all equipped with lidar, which shows that the sincerity of Leapmotor C10 is quite sufficient.
With such an intelligent driving assistance configuration, Leapmotor C10 can realize 25 intelligent driving functions including NAP high-speed intelligent navigation assistance and NAC navigation assistance cruise with up to 30 intelligent driving sensors + 254TOPS, and has L3 level of intelligent driving assistance in terms of hardware capabilities.
Interestingly, the NAC navigation-assisted cruise function of Leapmotor can be combined with the navigation map, according to the traffic light signal, zebra crossing recognition, road pointing recognition, speed limit recognition and other information, to achieve adaptive start and stop, turning and turning, intelligent speed limit functions, which greatly improves the vehicle's driving assistance adaptive ability at intersections and curves, and liberates the driver's feet.
It is worth mentioning that the car machine part of Leap C10, as the most direct place to be perceived by users, the entry version of the new car uses the 8155 chip, and the middle configuration and above are equipped with the latest Snapdragon 8295 chip, while the computing power is greatly enhanced, the new UI and Icon are also just right.
In the field of new energy SUVs, whether it is 8155 or 8295 chips, Leap C10 is more advanced in the same price range, and you can see the 8295 performance chip in the price range below 200,000, Leap C10 is really not an ordinary volume.
Of course, now users are becoming more and more savvy, and they no longer only need to control the appearance of the car, but also need the safety performance of the vehicle and the cabin in the car to meet the standards. There are many aspects that affect the safety performance of the vehicle, in addition to the hardware configuration, the torsional rigidity of the body also plays an important role in the safety of the whole vehicle, when subjected to external pressure, the car with high torsional strength is easier to maintain the stability of the car shape, and can also suppress the noise outside the car during driving. The body of Leapmotor C10 adopts a nine-horizontal and three-vertical high-strength cage frame, and the torsional rigidity of the body reaches 42,500N·m °, which can achieve a five-star safety rating in the two authoritative crash tests of C-NCAP in China and Euro NCAP in Europe.
As a family SUV, the seat material of Leapmotor C10 also uses baby-biting silicone materials, even if the baby touches it directly, there will be no problem, providing a healthy in-car scene for the family in the car.
From the perspective of battery management, Leapmotor C10 adopts CTC20 technology, which adopts electric drive AI cloud diagnosis and big data intelligent battery management system, achieves a fairly high thermal runaway alarm rate, and improves the battery safety and durability of the vehicle. Looking at the entire 180,000-yuan new energy SUV field, whether it is safety standards and environmental protection cockpit, or three-electric safety, Leapmotor C10 is relatively advanced in the same price range.
In terms of power, the Leapmotor C10 provides two power forms: pure electric and extended range, and the pure electric version has a motor power of 170kW, a torque of 320 N·m, and is equipped with 699 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery pack, CLTC maximum cruising range of 530 km. The extended-range version uses 1The 5-liter self-priming engine is composed of a motor battery, with a maximum engine power of 70kW and a motor power of 170kW, a CLTC pure electric range of 210 km, a CLTC comprehensive range of 1190 km, and a CLTC low-charge fuel consumption of only 52l/100km。
As a comparison, under the same working conditions, the starting range of the dark blue S7 extended range version is 121km, and the price of the 200km version exceeds 160,000 yuan;Hybrid models such as Galaxy L7 and Song Plus DM-i, the pure electric range of the large battery version is only a little more than 100km, which is much shorter than that of the Leap C10. If it focuses on daily pure electric vehicles, the Leapmotor C10 has the advantages of longer pure electric driving distance and ** threshold compared with hybrid SUVs in the same price range.
In general, there will never be a shortage of markets for cost-effective products. There is no doubt that Leap C10 has chosen such a one. Equipped with a lot of advanced configurations, it also lowered the threshold to 150,000 yuan.
According to the consistent practice of Leapmotor, it is possible that the Leapmotor C10 will also bring surprises to consumers when it is officially launched, so we have reason to believe that the final price of the Leapmotor C10 will be reduced a little. So the question is, in the face of such a new energy SUV, how will you choose?
