Leapmotor’s 2025 Product Plan Exposed

Leapmotor, a rising star in the new energy car market, has unveiled its ambitious 2025 product strategy, focusing on Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) and advanced battery cars. The brand is set to disrupt the automobile industry with competitively priced sedans, SUVs, and even a potential pickup, all while pushing the boundaries of smart driving technology.

Leapmotor B10: A Game-Changer in the Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle Segment

The Leapmotor B10 is making waves as a high-tech yet affordable Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle. Equipped with the Snapdragon 8650 autonomous driving chip and a cutting-edge LiDAR system, its hardware rivals premium cars priced at ¥500,000. The B10 features end-to-end AI-powered driving, supporting advanced functions like highway and urban navigation assistance, with future OTA updates available for free. Shockingly, the 510 LiDAR edition starts under ¥130,000, bringing LiDAR technology to the mass market—outpacing even BYD in affordability.

With 27 sensors, including 1 LiDAR, 11 cameras, 3 millimeter-wave radars, and 12 ultrasonic radars, the B10 is a technological powerhouse. The Hesai ATX ultra-long-range LiDAR ensures precision, making this Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle a strong contender in the new energy car market.

Aggressive Pricing Strategy Shakes Up the Automobile Market

Leapmotor’s pricing strategy has sent shockwaves through the industry. In an era where price wars and smart driving battles overlap, the B10 delivers both affordability and innovation, positioning Leapmotor as a key player. The car dealer network is buzzing with excitement as pre-orders surged—15,000 units in the first hour and 30,000 within 48 hours.

How Leapmotor Achieves "Smart Driving for All"

Leapmotor’s success lies in its vertically integrated model. CEO Zhu Jiangming revealed that over 65% of core components are developed in-house, allowing significant cost savings compared to rivals relying on external suppliers. The LEAP 3.5 platform enables 88% parts commonality across its A, B, C, and D series, further reducing production costs.

Moreover, Leapmotor’s self-developed e-drive systems, batteries, and electronic components have attracted 10 external projects, including partnerships with leading automakers. This "internal cost reduction, external profit" approach ensures sustainable growth.

Upcoming Models: Sedan, SUV, and Possibly a Pickup

Leapmotor is expanding its lineup with new energy cars, including:

• B01 Sedan: Featuring sleek hidden door handles and a futuristic light strip design.

• C16-Inspired SUV: Expected to have a PHEV variant, hinted by a fuel filler cap on the rear fender.

• Potential Pickup: While unconfirmed, industry insiders speculate a battery-powered pickup could join the portfolio.
