LEAPMOTOR C16 debuts with a splash,series targets the 150,000 RMB price bracket with a monthly sales goal of 30,000 vehicles!

LEAPMOTORC16 has made a stunning market debut, achieving a sales breakthrough with over 20,000 units delivered in a month. The new car has been a sell-out since its launch, and in September, it will be sold in Europe. Amidst the fierce price war in the first half of 2024, LEAPMOTORhas emerged as the most dazzling dark horse! Recently, LEAPMOTORannounced its new car sales for June, with 20,116 units delivered. On June 28th, LEAPMOTORC16 officially launched, and within 48 hours, it received 5,208 large orders. During the launch event interview, Zero Run’s Chairman and CEO, Zhu Jiangming, stated that the C series will focus on the 150,000 RMB price segment, aiming to achieve monthly sales of over 30,000 units, further consolidating and expanding market share.

With long-term comprehensive independent research and development, LEAPMOTORC16 showcases its technical strength. For example, the core “three-electric” system of new energy vehicles, the pure electric model of LEAPMOTORC16 comes standard with a self-developed 800V silicon carbide high-voltage platform, which is a generation ahead in technology compared to most models in the same class. It not only improves the efficiency of electronic control but also achieves faster charging speeds. In media test drives, the 800V fast charging of LEAPMOTORC16 completed 30% to 80% SOC charging in less than 15 minutes.

In terms of battery technology, LEAPMOTORC16 has self-developed CTC2.0 technology, innovatively adopting a design without battery packs and modules, making the battery and chassis more integrated than ever. This technology not only improves the safety, durability, and intelligence of the battery but also raises the body rigidity to a leading level in the same class, thus ensuring the safety and handling of the vehicle.

Additionally, LEAPMOTORC16 uses a self-developed silicon carbide three-in-one electric drive system, which is more compact. Through innovative motor flip design, the LEAPMOTORresearch and development team successfully avoided the problem of the raised cabin floor, making the third-row seat cushion height reach 350mm, more in line with the comfortable sitting posture of the human body.

Looking back at Zero Run’s past few years, based on a deep understanding of user needs, the company has adopted a pragmatic and efficient product planning strategy. Models including T03, C10, C11, C01, and others have achieved significant results in their respective fields. LEAPMOTORC16, while continuing the company’s “low price, high configuration” strategy, further focuses on family multi-person travel scenarios, becoming an indispensable choice for users in the same class.

In the 150,000 to 200,000 RMB price range, LEAPMOTORC series products have become an “inescapable option” for users in the car selection process, and the newly launched LEAPMOTORC16 also has this characteristic. On one hand, the mainstream 6 and 7-seat SUV market in the fuel vehicle era was predominantly occupied by joint venture vehicles, with prices generally exceeding 200,000 RMB. The starting price of the LEAPMOTORC16 range extender model is highly competitive, providing many users who were considering large six-seat fuel SUVs with a new, more cost-effective new energy alternative. On the other hand, the price of mainstream medium and large new energy 6 and 7-seat SUVs in the market is generally over 300,000 RMB, and ordinary families have been lacking a high-quality 6 and 7-seat SUV in the 150,000 to 200,000 RMB price range. The launch of LEAPMOTORC16 has undoubtedly filled this market gap. It is equipped with 800V fast charging, SA8295P smart cockpit, lidar, Orin-X chip, and other high-end configurations, yet it keeps the price below 200,000 RMB, turning what was once “luxury” into “affordable,” setting a new industry value benchmark.

With the continuous improvement of Zero Run’s comprehensive independent research and development technology, and the support of international automotive giant Stellantis, Zero Run’s weaknesses will continue to be made up, and its brand image will continue to rise. This time, will LEAPMOTORC16 continue to write the company’s achievements? We wait and see.
