The Leapmotor B01 (Chinese: 零跑B01; pinyin: Língpǎo B01) is an upcoming compact sedan to be manufactured by Leapmotor. It is the second vehicle in the B-series model range.
The B01 was unveiled in April 2025 at the 2025 Shanghai Auto Show.[1] Pre-sales opened on June 29th, 2025.[2]
Overview
The B01 uses the same LEAP 3.5 platform with the Leapmotor B10 that was introduced earlier in the month.
It follows the Gravity Field design language of other Leapmotor models with a split headlight design and three-strip daytime running lights as well as pop-out door handles, 18-inch alloy wheels, and light bar style taillights.
Features
The interior uses a 14.6-inch 2.5K touchscreen and an 8.8-inch digital cluster that supports over-the-air updates. The touchscreen is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip on most models and is powered by a Snapdragon 8295 chip on high-end models. A 256-color ambient lighting system is also included on the B01. Higher trims levels receive a LiDAR system and Qualcomm Snapdragon Ride 8650 chip powering its ADAS system. All trim levels use adjustable heated and ventilated front seats. [3]
Powertrain
As with the B10, the B01 is available with two rear-wheel-drive electric powertrains with both models on an 800v charging architecture. The base model uses a 132 kW (177 hp; 179 PS) electric motor mounted on the rear axle while all other trims use a 160 kW (215 hp; 218 PS) motor mounted the same way. All trims use both 56.2 kWh and 67.1 kWh LFP batteries except the base trim which is only available with the 56.2 kWh battery.[4] Models with the 56.2 kWh battery can travel 510 to 550 kilometres (317 to 342 mi) on a single charge while models with the 67.1 kWh battery can travel 650 kilometres (404 mi) on a single charge. DC fast charging from 30% to 80% is around 20 minutes regardless of which battery the car has.[5]
