Leapmotor Accelerates Steadily, Marching Toward the "Million-Unit New Journey"
At the launch event, Cao Li, Senior Vice President of Leapmotor Technology, revealed that in the third quarter of 2025, Leapmotor continued to be profitable, achieving a net profit of 150 million yuan, with revenue surging to 19.45 billion yuan, nearly doubling year-on-year; since March 2025, Leapmotor has held the monthly sales championship among China's new force brands for 8 consecutive months, and its full-year sales have reached the 500,000-unit annual target ahead of schedule, including 44,000 units in overseas sales, making it the export champion among China's new forces, with products covering 35 countries worldwide. Standing at a new starting point, Leapmotor officially proposed the "Million-Unit New Journey" goal: to sprint toward annual sales of 1 million units in 2026.
The Mission of the Leapmotor Lafa5: Building a Value Benchmark for 100,000-Yuan-Class Coupes, Aiming at the Global Market
In the 100,000-yuan-class pure electric market, there has long been an industry pain point of "good looks and performance cannot be had together, intelligence and quality are hard to achieve simultaneously." Consumers either compromise on basic configurations for daily commuting or are forced to pay a premium for segment-transcending experiences. The launch of the Leapmotor Lafa5 is precisely intended to break this market dilemma with 200,000-yuan-class product strength, creating a "value benchmark for 100,000-yuan-class coupes." As an all-new personalized product positioned above the B series internally at Leapmotor, the Leapmotor Lafa5 achieves comprehensive upgrades in configuration, materials, and cost, aiming to bring Gen Z young users a new choice that combines both cost-effectiveness and value-for-money.
More importantly, unlike the traditional export model of Chinese models, the Leapmotor Lafa5 was built with a global vision from the very beginning of development, especially for the European market. Its first appearance in Germany sparked widespread discussion. The Leapmotor Lafa5 is a pure electric coupe that combines design aesthetics with driving fun, and its design philosophy and product character deeply align with European users' preference for compact sporty sedans. After landing in the European market in the future, it will directly face classic hot hatch pioneers such as the Volkswagen Golf GTI and Renault Megane, becoming the first landmark product of Chinese intelligent manufacturing to challenge a mainstream global segment.
Coupe Styling: A Trend Symbol in the City, a Head-Turning Stance That Captivates at First Sight
The design of the Leapmotor Lafa5 adheres to the philosophy of "technological natural aesthetics," perfectly blending pure styling beauty with engineering beauty. It features a class-leading 1880mm wide body, creating a low, stable coupe stance with powerful visual impact. Sharp, dynamic lines, track-inspired curved waistlines, and a wide, full rear design together outline a sporty DNA bursting with tension.
In addition, the details also fully demonstrate style and sincerity. The Leapmotor Lafa5 comes standard across the range with frameless doors and flush side windows, maximizing the sense of ceremony the moment the door opens, with an extremely strong overall side visual effect. 19-inch swept-wing sport wheels, high-gloss black piano lacquer exterior trim, and B-pillar glass high-gloss black trim further reinforce its high-appeal sporty character. After more than a hundred simulations and wind tunnel verifications, the Leapmotor Lafa5 achieves an ultra-low drag coefficient of 0.256. Through 16 optimizations including AGS active grille shutters, aerodynamic fastback, wind-splitting front lip, and air curtains, it not only improves range by 35km but also perfectly balances aesthetics and performance.
In terms of exterior color choices, the new car offers 6 personalized colors: Electric Yellow, Wind-Racing Gray, Morgan Pink, Starlit Blue, Galaxy Silver, and Metallic Black, respectively symbolizing different emotional expressions such as bold fearlessness, pure sharpness, and confident courage, allowing every Leapmotor Lafa5 to become an extension of its owner's personality.
Elevated Cabin: A Quality Space with Both Camera Appeal and Practicality
The cabin of the Leapmotor Lafa5 is a comprehensive advancement in "pleasure" and "quality." The "super-ellipse digital surface" design language makes the interior lines round and smooth, bringing a vibrant visual experience. A class-leading cabin space utilization rate of up to 86% breaks the space constraints commonly found in coupe models, ensuring a spacious riding experience inside. Over 80% soft-touch coverage, 256-color Time Engine ambient lighting, and matte gun-gray trim together create an immersive luxury sporty atmosphere.
The new car offers 3 textured interior options: Speed-Domain Purple for fashion and dynamism, Galloping Shadow Gray for calm sophistication, and Racing Gray featuring 5.54m² suede microfiber + Nappa full-grain leather拼接, with "extended track" texture on the seats and "Lafa5" exclusive embossed lettering, fully displaying supercar-level cabin quality. The Leap Sound 12-speaker audio system paired with wireless karaoke function delivers stage-level sound, instantly turning the cabin into a private LiveHouse. A 1.02m² ultra-large panoramic sunroof with intelligent electric sunshade, as well as up to 25 storage spaces and 435L trunk volume, fully reflect deep insight into users' daily practical needs.
Segment-Transcending Intelligence: Easy to Use and Easy to Drive, a Smart Partner That Understands Your Needs
The Leapmotor Lafa5 is equipped with the Qualcomm 8295P flagship cockpit chip, with powerful computing power laying a solid foundation for a smooth experience. A 14.6-inch 2.5K HD central control screen and an 8.8-inch LCD instrument cluster, combined with the Leapmotor OS 4.0 Plus infotainment system that has won multiple international awards, deliver an immersive visual interaction experience. At the same time, the new car is equipped with DeepSeek and Tongyi Qianwen dual AI large models, possessing super-strong comprehension and dialogue capabilities. It supports voiceprint recognition, multi-intent one-sentence car control, full-scenario visible-and-speakable functionality, and dialect recognition, making voice interaction more natural and humanized.
In addition, to create a personalized exclusive operating ecosystem, Leapmotor innovatively self-developed the Leapmotor Zero-Dynamic Tag, adopting a button + knob form. One Lafa5 supports association with up to 6 Leapmotor Zero-Dynamic Tags, connecting to the infotainment system via Bluetooth, customizing personalized button functions, and placing your frequently used functions in convenient one-touch positions.
In terms of assisted driving, the Leapmotor Lafa5 is equipped with 27 high-precision perception hardware components including lidar and the Qualcomm 8650 chip, supporting end-to-end assisted driving. It can achieve Highway Navigation Assist (NAP) and Commute Navigation Assist (CNAP), enabling navigation-assisted driving without reliance on high-precision maps, and will achieve urban navigation assist in the future through OTA.
Joyful Driving Control: Jointly Tuned by China and Europe, Interpreting the Driving Pleasure of Man-Machine Integration
As a sporty coupe worthy of being called an "electric hot hatch," the driving feel of the Leapmotor Lafa5 is its soul. Its chassis was jointly tuned by Leapmotor and the Stellantis Group chassis team, validated through typical global road spectra, perfectly balancing "European-style precise handling at high speeds" with "Chinese-style supple damping at low speeds." It not only satisfies European users' insistence on driving pleasure but also aligns with Chinese consumers' pursuit of comfort. This "global platform + regional adaptation" development model makes the Leapmotor Lafa5 the first Chinese electric coupe that conforms to global standards throughout the entire process from design and configuration to validation.
In terms of power, the new car is equipped with a seven-in-one high-performance oil-cooled electric drive system with a rear-mounted rear-drive layout. A 160kW motor delivers澎湃 performance with 0-100km/h acceleration in 6.4 seconds. The world's first VCU and MCU chip-level fusion technology increases power response speed by 5 times compared to traditional solutions, achieving a more agile acceleration experience. A 50:50 front-to-rear axle load ratio, front MacPherson and rear multi-link independent suspension, LMC integrated motion fusion control technology, and a small turning radius of 5.17 meters together endow the Leapmotor Lafa5 with sensitive steering, stable cornering, and extremely high handling limits. Users can also freely choose power modes, brake pedal feel, immersive sound waves, and even activate launch mode, enjoying personalized driving fun across multiple scenarios.
In terms of range and charging, the Leapmotor Lafa5 boasts a 605km CLTC ultra-long range, with SOC 30-80% charging taking only 18 minutes. It adopts a 27-in-1 super-integrated thermal management system, reducing thermal management components by about 60% and weight by over 15%. The entire range comes standard with an ultra-wide temperature range heat pump system, supporting an ultra-wide operating range of -30°C to 55°C, achieving at least 21 thermal management modes, meeting users' needs for both low energy consumption and comfort in daily driving.
Comprehensive Safety: All-Around Protection, Setting a New Safety Standard for the Segment
Safety is Leapmotor's unchanging cornerstone. The Leapmotor Lafa5 adopts a 9-horizontal 7-vertical cage body design, with high-strength steel accounting for 77.5%, and applies aviation-grade 2000MPa hot-formed material, building a sturdy occupant cabin structure. In terms of core battery safety, the Leapmotor Lafa5 adopts CTC 2.0 Plus battery-chassis integration technology. Through multiple protections including cell safety selection, thermal runaway warning, heat source isolation, puncture protection, directional pressure relief, and intelligent cooling technology, it can achieve the hardcore standard of no fire and no explosion within 48 hours after thermal runaway, and is among the first batch to pass the new national standard for power batteries, and promises lifetime free battery warranty for the first owner. In terms of active safety, in addition to extreme safeguards such as tire blowout stability brought by LMC integrated motion fusion control technology, it also provides up to 17 active safety assistance functions, providing all-around protection for every journey.
Summary: Reshaping the Market, Marching Toward the Globe
The launch of the Leapmotor Lafa5 not only fills the product gap for high-value coupes in the 100,000-yuan-class pure electric market, but also, with its precise positioning as an "electric Golf," demonstrates Leapmotor's profound insight into the needs of young users worldwide. With 200,000-yuan-class product strength landing in the 100,000-yuan-class price range, it achieves the scarce value of "both personality and quality, both fun and practicality." As a key move in Leapmotor's brand personalization strategy, the Lafa5 is not only a new benchmark for 100,000-yuan-class pure electric coupes in the Chinese market, but also a strategic weapon for Leapmotor to enter Europe and compete head-on with classic hot hatches. It proves that Chinese intelligent manufacturing already has the ability to define global trends, and also provides every young person unwilling to settle for mediocrity with a dream ride within reach.
