The Leapmotor C11, a popular mid-size electric SUV, has undergone significant updates for its 2025 version, introducing a refreshed design, improved performance, and enhanced features.
Measuring 4,780 mm in length, 1,950 mm in width, and 1,658 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,930 mm, the C11 has slightly reduced in height compared to its previous model [1]. The vehicle's exterior design has been streamlined, with a reduced drag coefficient from 0.286 Cd to 0.28 Cd, contributing to improved aerodynamics [1].
One of the most notable updates is the switch to an 800V high-voltage platform, which significantly reduces charging times. The C11 can recharge its battery from 30% to 80% in just 18 minutes under fast charging [1]. This upgrade places the C11 on par with mid to high-end electric vehicles currently on the market.
Both the BEV (battery electric vehicle) and EREV (extended range) variants of the updated C11 offer competitive ranges. The BEV variants boast a CLTC (China Light-Duty Vehicle Test Cycle) range of approximately 640 km (approximately 398 miles), while the EREV versions provide a pure electric range of about 300 km (186 miles) before switching to gasoline power [1].
The interior of the Leapmotor C11 has also received an overhaul. The cockpit is equipped with a new dual-color double-spoke flat-bottom steering wheel, and the central control screen is a 17.3-inch 2K resolution display [1]. The instrument panel is a 10.25-inch display, and high-end trims come with Leapmotor's third-generation 60-inch AR-HUD [1].
The C11 offers six body colors, including beige, silver, two shades of gray, white, and black [1]. The vehicle also boasts 26 storage slots throughout its interior, ensuring ample space for passengers' belongings.
While specific details about the advanced driving assistance system (ADAS) are not yet available, the mention of "significant upgrades in both performance and technology" suggests enhancements in technology possibly including driver assistance features [1]. The onboard operating system is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon SA8295P chip and integrates the DeepSeek AI model to support an AI voice assistant [1].
Some trims of the Leapmotor C11 come with a 128-line roof lidar, offering a detection range of 300 meters and a field of view of 140° [1]. The EREV variant of the Leapmotor C11 costs between 149,800 - 159,800 yuan (20,870 - 22,260 USD), while the BEV variant costs between 149,800 - 165,800 yuan (20,870 - 23,090 USD) [1].
The Leapmotor C11, with its impressive range, faster charging times, and probable enhancements in advanced driving technologies, is poised to be a strong contender in the mid-size electric SUV segment. The vehicle was officially launched in China on July 10 [1].
