Leapmotor D99 MPV Debuts with BEV and REEV Powertrains in China

Chinese automaker Leapmotor has officially introduced the new Leapmotor D99 MPV, expanding its lineup with a large multi-purpose vehicle available in both battery electric (BEV) and range-extended electric vehicle (REEV) configurations. Announced on June 25, the model is offered in six variants with prices ranging from CNY 249,800 to CNY 319,800. Designed for customers seeking long-distance capability and advanced intelligent technologies, the new MPV combines spacious dimensions, high-voltage electric platforms, premium in-cabin features, and an extensive suite of driver-assistance systems.

Dimensions and Practical Interior

The Leapmotor D99 MPV measures 5,280 mm in length, 1,995 mm in width, and either 1,900 mm or 1,880 mm in height depending on the variant. It rides on a 3,110 mm wheelbase that provides generous passenger accommodation while maximizing cabin space. Practicality is further enhanced by a cargo compartment that expands to 2,890 liters when the third-row seats are folded, making the vehicle suitable for both family transportation and long-distance travel requiring significant luggage capacity.

Battery Electric Variant Specifications

The battery electric version is developed on a 1,000 V high-voltage fast-charging architecture and features a dual-motor all-wheel-drive configuration. The front axle uses an asynchronous motor producing 180 kW and 265 Nm of peak torque, while the rear permanent magnet synchronous motor delivers 230 kW and 360 Nm. This configuration enables a top speed of 180 km/h and a 0–100 km/h acceleration time of 5.0 seconds. Energy is supplied by a 115 kWh CATL battery pack combining lithium iron phosphate and ternary lithium chemistries, providing a CLTC driving range of 700 km. Fast charging from 30% to 80% state of charge requires only 15 minutes.

Range-Extended Electric Variant

The REEV model utilizes an 800 V high-voltage range-extended platform paired with dual permanent magnet synchronous motors that generate a combined maximum output of 300 kW and 525 Nm of peak torque. The propulsion system integrates a 1.5TD range extender and a high-efficiency generator to support extended driving capability. Performance includes a top speed of 180 km/h and acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.3 seconds. The vehicle uses an 80.3 kWh CATL lithium iron phosphate battery, delivering a CLTC electric-only range of 480 km and a combined CLTC range of 1,160 km. Under WLTC testing conditions, fuel consumption in charge-sustaining mode is rated at 6.72 L/100 km, while fast charging from 30% to 80% also takes 15 minutes.

Cabin Technology and Intelligent Features

The new MPV introduces the latest Leapmotor OS and includes a 10.25-inch LCD instrument cluster together with a 50-inch augmented reality head-up display as standard equipment. The infotainment system supports a large language model-powered voice assistant designed to improve natural voice interactions. Computing capability is provided by a Qualcomm Snapdragon SA8797 processor delivering 1,280 TOPS, while the flagship version is equipped with two Snapdragon SA8797 chips for even greater processing performance.

Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems

The Leapmotor D99 MPV is equipped with 28 high-precision perception sensors that include one LiDAR unit and 12 ultrasonic radars. These sensors support a comprehensive suite of 44 advanced driver-assistance functions intended to improve convenience and safety. Among the available capabilities are Parking Space to Parking Space Navigation Assistance and Remote Parking Assist, allowing the vehicle to perform intelligent parking maneuvers while expanding automated driving functionality across different driving scenarios.
