LEAPMOTOR C01 price VS Tesla Model 3: as a high-performance version of the electric car
Some years ago, more than 200,000yuan budget to choose a pure electric car, I may "no brain" on the Tesla Model 3, on the one hand, the car's performance, handling are not to say, on the other hand, the domestic camp is not much car can choose. But put now, Tesla Model 3 may only be an alternative, after all, a large number of domestic cars into the market, the beginning of a new round of "internal volume", Tesla Model 3 competitive advantage is also gradually weakened. The LEAPMOTOR C01 is one of the most recent year of new domestic cars, and the car also comes with a "gimmick", that is, the industry's first production vehicle using CTC technology, that LEAPMOTOR C01 is worth getting? We will analyze it today.
LEAPMOTOR C01 exterior: Slightly lower than Tesla Model 3
The LEAPMOTOR C01 is positioned as a mid-size sedan, and its manufacturer's guide price range is 193,800-286,800RMB. From the price point of view, LEAPMOTOR C01 will compete with Tesla Model 3, combined with the positioning, I think the price of LEAPMOTOR C01 is still quite sincere, after all, the starting price of most models in the same class will be more than 200,000. Since the price of LEAPMOTOR C01 is not high, we simply directly to the top 2022 models four-wheel drive dual motor performance version as an example to read.
For medium to large cars, the appearance of the atmosphere is very important, while the LEAPMOTOR C01 as a pure tram, the appearance of technology is also important, let's start with the appearance of the chat. The overall design of the LEAPMOTOR C01 does not have complex lines, the overall appearance is very simple. The front part of the car, LEAPMOTOR C01 shape is relatively wide, and the overall posture is relatively low, showing a good sense of power. At the same time, the front of the LAEPMOTOR C01 also uses a through-lighting LED strip, which can enhance the overall sense of technology.
The side of the body, LEAPMOTOR C01's shape is more rounded, the car does not have an obvious waistline, but instead retains a large number of type surface design, which in theory is also for wind resistance coefficient concession. At the same time, the LAEPMOTOR C01 uses hidden door handles, low wind resistance wheels and other designs, and finally the whole car achieves a wind resistance of 0.226 Cd, slightly lower than the Tesla Model 3 (0.23 Cd). In addition, the LEAPMOTORC01 also uses the design of frameless doors, although this is also the regular "operation" of the same class, but it does look quite handsome.
The rear part of the car, LAEPMOTOR C01 design is still very simple, it adopts the sliding back design, the upper part of the tailgate also adopts the "small duck tail" design, the overall shape is very full, the visual effect is not lack of fashion sense. However, what I personally like is the LAEPMOTOR C01's taillight cluster, which uses the popular through-tail lights and also the "white background" design, making the visual effect more distinctive. The exterior is, after all, a matter of opinion, so we won't dwell on it.
LAEPMOTOR C01 interior: More sincere and intelligent configuration than Xpeng G9
The interior of the C01 is designed with the popular "big screen", which is also the regular operation of new car companies, and can even be said to be the future direction of the interior design, which is nothing to dwell on, even if we are nostalgic, can not resist the footsteps of the times. The LEAPMOTOR C01 adopts the design of "triple screen", but the size of its control screen is larger, showing different priorities overall, the visual effect is staggered. At the same time, the LEAPMOTOR C01 because of the "pocket gear" design, its interior layout will also be very simple, it will look very fresh. However, the LEAPMOTOR C01's two-spoke steering wheel does not use a flat-bottom design, the visual sense of movement is slightly less interesting, in addition to the LEAPMOTOR C01 central air conditioning vents are located low, which is not quite in line with my personal car habits.
The first thing that I would like to praise about the LEAPMOTOR C01 is that the majority of the car's configuration is standard, such as intelligent driving, intelligent cockpit and other parts, in contrast to the other day "listed on the price reduction" XPeng G9, I think the LEAPMOTORC01 still has full sincerity. The actual C01 is equipped with 28 perception hardware and two Linxin 01 chips with 8.4TOPS of arithmetic power, and 23 intelligent driving functions, including ALC automatic lane change assistance, NAP intelligent pilot assisted driving, with 5 millimeter wave radar perception of side obstacles, in the lane change process to ensure safety. The process is more secure. According to the current classification of intelligent driving systems, the intelligent driving of the LAEPMOTOR C01 belongs to the L2+ level. It is worth mentioning that the LEAPMOTOR C01's intelligent driving system is self-research, including chips and algorithms, which means that it has better expansion and upgrade capabilities later.
In terms of intelligent cockpit, LEAPMOTOR C01 is equipped with a Qualcomm in-car SA8155P digital cockpit chip, which is used to control the triple screen, which also means that the system operation of LEAPMOTOR C01 will be more smooth, and the three screens can be linked. The specific function, LEAPMOTOR C01 support navigation, online applications, cell phone APP control, voice interaction and other functions. After all, "computing power is king", LEAPMOTOR C01 equipped with Qualcomm car SA8155P digital cockpit chip, but also for the vehicle later expansion to provide computing power guarantee. The C01 is also equipped with front acoustic glass, rear side privacy glass, wireless charging for cell phones and other features. Once again, all of the above features are standard on the LAEPMOTOR C01, which also shows the sincerity of the LAEPMOTOR C01.
After all, LEAPMOTORC01 is a large car, and the car from the LEAPMOTOR car pure electric special C platform, short front overhang, short rear overhang layout theoretically can also improve space utilization, let's also look at the LEAPMOTOR C01 space performance. The LEAPMOTORC01 length, width and height are 5050, 1902, 1509mm, wheelbase 2930mm, to the standard of medium and large sedan, LEAPMOTOR C01 belongs to the class of models in the "medium body". But because the LEAPMOTOR C01 from the pure electric platform, its internal space utilization will be better, and LEAPMOTOR C01 as a pure electric car, from the drive shaft restrictions, the rear middle floor flatness will be better than the majority of medium and large sedans do.
The front seats are heated, ventilated and massaged, which is a great comfort.
In the rear, the rear seats of the LAEPMOTOR C01 support electric backrest adjustment and also have seat heating function, which is also outstanding.
In terms of cargo, the rear seats of the LAEPMOTOR C01 support the proportional down, with the premise of electric adjustment, its rear seats also support the down, which is worthy of praise, its trunk conventional volume of 496L, moderate performance, but its expansion ability is quite good. In addition, the LAEPMOTOR C01 also has a front trunk with a volume of 40L, the car's total luggage compartment volume of 536L, the overall cargo capacity is relatively outstanding.
LEAPMOTOR C01 power: as a pure electric mid-size sedan, does it have enough range?
Power, for pure electric vehicles, range, power are the focus, and LEAPMOTOR C01 power options are very rich, we will mainly talk about the selected top model. Take the selected model as an example, LEAPMOTOR C01 is equipped with dual front and rear motors, its maximum power is 400kW, the maximum torque is 720N-m, the car can achieve 3.66 seconds to break 100, the power output is very strong. At the same time, the LAEPMOTOR C01 is equipped with a 90kWh battery pack, the vehicle CLTC range of 630km. it is worth mentioning that the LAEPMOTOR C01 uses CTC (battery, chassis) integration technology, which simply means that the battery pack is eliminated, which enhances the space utilization of the battery pack, and can improve the rigidity of the chassis. The advantage of the above technology is that the LEAPMOTOR C01 can make the range longer, it offers 717km (CLTC) range, and the vehicle's overall mass is only 2 tons up and down.
The chassis, as we have not test-driven the LEAPMOTOR C01, we will share with you the actual feeling about this model in the future. From the available information, the LEAPMOTOR C01 uses a front double-wishbone - rear five-link independent suspension combination, and the use of aluminum alloy sub-frame, hardware, materials are very willing to spend the cost. At the same time, the LEAPMOTOR C01 uses CTC technology to improve chassis rigidity, its torsional resistance is naturally stronger, theoretically the LEAPMOTOR C01's handling will not be poor. For consumers with cars, LEAPMOTOR C01 can directly improve safety, handling, but also can bring a better car experience.
Finally, as a new product, LEAPMOTOR C01 is one of the few models that focus on "technology", its oil-cooled motor, CTC technology, etc. are forward-looking enough, and can actually improve the competitiveness of the product. At the same time, the LEAPMOTOR C01's configuration and space can't be faulted, and most of the car's configuration is standard, which is also the car's competitive advantage. In summary, I think the LEAPMOTORC01 is enough "inside volume", combined with the price of the car, I think the LEAPMOTOR C01 is still worth getting.
