The Leapmotor S01 (Chinese: 零跑S01), previously known as the Leapmotor LP-S01, is an all-electric car manufactured and sold in China by Leapmotor.
A prototype of the S01 was shown at the Guangzhou Auto Show 2017. At that time, the company had raised 380 million in capital, and construction of the factory had started.[1] The S01 is the brand's first vehicle.
First deliveries occurred in June 2019.[2] [3]
The car is a coupe with 2+2 seating. The top version, powered by a 1680NaN0 electric motor and 2500NaN0, accelerates from 0to in 6.9 seconds. The motor is a permanent magnet synchronous motor.[4]
The vehicle combines small height and small width (hence the small frontal area) with an aerodynamic side profile and a relatively low mass for an EV (the manufacturer does not specify it on its website,[5] but one previous announcement indicated a mass of only 1240 kg[6]).
The car features level 2 autonomous driving (called "Leap Pilot"), with a possibility of enabling level 3 autonomous driving in the future through over-the-air updates.[7] [5]
As of March 2020, two battery options - 35.6 kWh and 48 kWh - are available. Typically for Chinese cars, the range is given only according to the overly optimistic NEDC methodology, no longer in use in Europe. However, with a 48 kWh battery and given the car's small dimensions, the EPA range can be reasonably estimated at not less than 190miles.[4]
