On November 27, 2025, in Hangzhou, Leapmotor grandly held the launch event for its all-new strategic model with a personalized positioning — the Leapmotor Lafa5, themed "Define Your Own Path". Positioned as a "high-value sports coupe", the new model comes with five core product strengths: an ultra-long range of 605km, Qualcomm 8295P smart cockpit, lidar-based end-to-end assisted driving, sporty coupe design, a spacious cabin with 86% space utilization rate, and all-round safety. It offers a new option for post-95s trendsetters who pursue self-expression and quality life to own their "dream car".

Available in two range versions (515km and 605km) across five configurations, the new model redefines the value benchmark for the 100,000-yuan-class pure electric sports coupe market with its highly competitive pricing and cost-performance ratio. Steadily accelerating, Leapmotor strides toward its "Million-Vehicle New Journey".
At the launch event, Cao Li, Senior Vice President of Leapmotor Technology, revealed that since March 2025, Leapmotor has maintained the top spot in monthly sales among Chinese new energy vehicle startups for eight consecutive months. It also achieved its annual sales target of 500,000 units ahead of schedule, including 44,000 units sold overseas, making it the export champion among Chinese new energy startups. Its products are now available in 35 countries worldwide. Standing at a new starting point, Leapmotor officially announced its "Million-Vehicle New Journey" goal: to sprint for an annual sales volume of 1 million units in 2026.

Particularly importantly, unlike the traditional export model of Chinese vehicles, the Leapmotor Lafa5 was developed with a global perspective from the outset, with a special focus on the European market. Making its debut in Germany, it immediately sparked heated discussions. As a pure electric sports coupe that combines design aesthetics and driving pleasure, its design philosophy and product temperament are highly aligned with European users' preferences for compact sports sedans. After its future launch in Europe, it will directly compete with classic hot hatch pioneers such as the Volkswagen Golf GTI and Renault Megane, becoming the first iconic product of Chinese smart manufacturing to challenge the global mainstream market segment.

Sporty Coupe Aesthetics: A Trend Icon in the City, Captivating at First Glance

Adhering to the "Technology-Nature Aesthetics" concept, the Leapmotor Lafa5 perfectly integrates pure formal beauty with engineering aesthetics. It boasts a class-leading 1,880mm wide body, creating a low-slung and stable sports coupe stance with strong visual impact. Sharp and dynamic lines, curved waistlines inspired by race tracks, and a wide, full rear design together outline its sporty genes bursting with tension. In addition, the details fully reflect style and sincerity. The Leapmotor Lafa5 comes standard with frameless doors and flush side windows across the entire lineup, delivering a sense of ritual the moment the doors are opened and a strong sense of integrity in side profile. The 19-inch swept-wing sports wheels, high-gloss black piano paint exterior trim, and high-gloss black trim on the B-pillar glass further enhance its high-value sporty attributes. After hundreds of simulations and wind tunnel tests, the Leapmotor Lafa5 achieves an ultra-low drag coefficient of 0.256. Through 16 optimizations including an AGS active air intake grille, aerodynamic fastback, wind-breaking front lip, and air curtains, it not only increases the range by 35km but also achieves a perfect balance between aesthetics and performance. In terms of exterior color options, the new model offers six personalized colors: Lightning Yellow, Gale Gray, Morgan Pink, Starry Night Blue, Galaxy Silver, and Metallic Black, symbolizing different emotional expressions such as boldness, purity, and confidence. Each Leapmotor Lafa5 can thus become an extension of the owner's personality.

Spacious Cabin: A Quality Space Balancing Visual Appeal and Practicality

The cabin of the Leapmotor Lafa5 represents a comprehensive upgrade in "pleasure" and "quality". The "Super Elliptical Digital Curved Surface" design language makes the interior lines smooth and rounded, bringing a vibrant visual experience. The class-leading 86% space utilization rate breaks the common space constraints of sports coupe models, ensuring a spacious riding experience. Over 80% soft material coverage, 256-color Time Engine ambient lighting, and matte gunmetal trim together create an immersive luxurious sports atmosphere. The new model offers three high-quality interior options: Speed Domain Purple (fashionable and dynamic), Gallop Shadow Gray (elegant and calm), and Racing Gray (featuring 5.54m² suede-like microfiber + Nappa full-grain leather stitching). The "extended race track" texture and exclusive "Lafa5" embossed logo on the seats highlight the supercar-level cabin quality. The Leap Sound 12-speaker audio system combined with microphone-free KTV functionality delivers stage-level sound quality, transforming the cabin into a private live house instantly. The 1.02㎡ extra-large panoramic sunroof with an intelligent electric sunshade, as well as up to 25 storage spaces and a 435L trunk capacity, fully reflect a deep insight into users' daily practical needs.

Class-Leading Intelligence: Easy to Use and Drive, an Intelligent Partner That Understands You

The Leapmotor Lafa5 is equipped with the Qualcomm 8295P flagship cockpit chip, boasting powerful computing power that lays a solid foundation for a smooth experience. The 14.6-inch 2.5K high-definition central control screen and 8.8-inch LCD instrument panel, combined with the award-winning Leapmotor OS 4.0 Plus infotainment system, deliver an immersive visual interaction experience. Meanwhile, the new model is equipped with dual AI large models (DeepSeek and Tongyi Qianwen), offering strong understanding and dialogue capabilities. It supports voiceprint recognition, multi-intention one-sentence vehicle control, full-scene "see and speak", and dialect recognition, making voice interaction more natural and humanized. In addition, to create a personalized operation ecosystem, Leapmotor has independently developed the "Leap Motion Button" — a combination of buttons and knobs. A single Lafa5 can support up to 6 Leap Motion Buttons, which connect to the vehicle system via Bluetooth. Users can customize the functions of these personalized buttons, placing their commonly used features within easy reach. In terms of assisted driving, the Leapmotor Lafa5 is equipped with 27 high-precision perception hardware including a lidar and a Qualcomm 8650 chip, supporting end-to-end assisted driving. It can realize Navigation Assisted Pilot (NAP) on highways and Commuter Navigation Assisted Pilot (CNAP) without relying on high-precision maps. Urban Navigation Assisted Pilot will be available via OTA updates in the future.

Pleasurable Driving: Co-Tuned by China and Europe, Interpreting the Joy of Man-Machine Integration

As a sports coupe worthy of the title "electric hot hatch", the driving quality of the Leapmotor Lafa5 is its soul. Its chassis is co-tuned by Leapmotor and the Stellantis Group chassis team, validated through global typical road spectra, perfectly balancing "European-style precise handling in high-speed conditions" and "Chinese-style smooth shock absorption in low-speed conditions". It not only meets European users' pursuit of driving pleasure but also caters to Chinese consumers' demand for comfort. This "global platform + regional adaptation" development model makes the Leapmotor Lafa5 the first Chinese electric sports coupe that meets global standards throughout the entire process from design and configuration to verification. In terms of power, the new model is equipped with a 7-in-1 high-performance oil-cooled electric drive system with a rear-wheel-drive layout. The 160kW motor delivers a thrilling 0-100km/h acceleration in 6.4 seconds. The world's first chip-level integration technology of VCU and MCU increases the power response speed by 5 times compared with traditional solutions, achieving a more agile acceleration experience. The 50:50 front-rear weight distribution, MacPherson front suspension and multi-link rear suspension, LMC integrated motion fusion control technology, and a small turning radius of 5.17 meters together endow the Leapmotor Lafa5 with responsive steering, stable cornering performance, and a high handling limit. Users can also freely choose power modes, brake pedal feel, immersive sound effects, and even activate launch control, enjoying personalized driving pleasure in various scenarios. In terms of range and charging, the Leapmotor Lafa5 has an ultra-long CLTC range of 605km and can be charged from 30% to 80% SOC in just 18 minutes. It adopts a 27-in-1 super-integrated thermal management system, reducing thermal management components by approximately 60% and weight by over 15%. The entire lineup comes standard with an ultra-wide temperature range heat pump system, supporting an operating range of -30℃ to 55℃ and realizing at least 21 thermal management modes, meeting users' needs for both low energy consumption and comfort in daily use.

All-Round Safety: Comprehensive Protection, Setting a New Safety Benchmark in Its Class

Safety is an unchanging cornerstone of Leapmotor. The Leapmotor Lafa5 adopts a 9-horizontal and 7-vertical cage-type body structure, with high-strength steel accounting for 77.5%, and applies aviation-grade 2000MPa hot-formed materials to build a strong passenger compartment structure. In terms of core battery safety, the Leapmotor Lafa5 adopts CTC 2.0 Plus cell-to-chassis technology. Through multiple protections such as safe cell selection, thermal runaway early warning, heat source isolation, penetration protection, directional pressure relief, and intelligent cooling technology, it can achieve the rigid standard of no fire or explosion within 48 hours after thermal runaway. It has also passed the new national standard for power batteries and offers a lifetime free battery warranty for the first owner. In terms of active safety, in addition to extreme protection such as tire blowout stability brought by the LMC integrated motion fusion control technology, it also provides up to 17 active safety assistance functions, offering all-round protection for every journey. The launch of the Leapmotor Lafa5 not only fills the product gap of high-value sports coupes in the 100,000-yuan-class pure electric market but also demonstrates Leapmotor's deep insight into the needs of global young users with its precise positioning as the "electric Golf". With product strength comparable to 200,000-yuan-class models at a 100,000-yuan-class price point, it achieves the scarce value of "combining personality and quality, and integrating pleasure and practicality". As a key part of Leapmotor's personalized brand strategy, the Lafa5 is not only a new benchmark for 100,000-yuan-class pure electric sports coupes in China but also a strategic weapon for Leapmotor to enter Europe and compete head-on with classic hot hatches. It proves that Chinese smart manufacturing has the ability to define global trends and provides an accessible dream car for every young person who refuses to be mediocre.
