Leapmotor is gearing up to unveil its flagship full-size SUV, the Leapmotor D19, with the world’s largest EREV battery, on April 16. Ahead of its official debut, the brand has already opened blind pre-orders and showcased the model’s engineering strength through extreme testing. On January 22, the SUV completed the world’s first real-world double tire blowout test—on the same side, on ice and snow—at 80 km/h and 120 km/h with six passengers onboard, proving its structural robustness and safety credentials.
Bold Exterior With a Distinctive Leapmotor Identity
The D19 has cleared its MIIT regulatory filings and features Leapmotor’s signature design language. The front adopts a “star-ring” through-type LED light bar with split headlamps. The pure-electric variant includes a functional frunk, resulting in slightly different hood contours compared to the EREV model.
At the rear, the SUV mirrors its front styling with a through-type taillight setup, an ISD intelligent interactive light screen, and illuminated branding. Built as a full-size SUV, the model measures 5252 mm in length, 1995 mm in width, and 1800/1780 mm in height, along with an expansive 3110 mm wheelbase.
Luxury Cabin With Intelligent Tech Everywhere
Inside, the D19 delivers a premium, tech-rich environment. A massive 60-inch AR-HUD, a full LCD cluster, and a large floating touchscreen dominate the cockpit. The four-spoke multifunction steering wheel, wireless charging, and intelligent fragrance system with three adjustable scents enhance comfort.
Passengers enjoy a 10.25-inch instrument panel, a 17.3-inch central display, a 6-inch rear control screen, and a 21.4-inch 3K entertainment screen. Extra conveniences include an onboard oxygen generator, dual folding tables for second-row passengers, laminated acoustic glass, B-pillar grab handles, and an 8.1L automotive-grade hot/cold refrigerator.
The D19 offers 5-, 6-, and 7-seat variants, featuring plush 12-layer luxury seating and a zero-gravity second-row lounge seat.
Next-Gen Hardware and Global Firsts
The SUV debuts Qualcomm Snapdragon’s 1280TOPS dual 8797 chips, enabling Leapmotor’s integrated cabin-driving control domain and advanced VLA-assisted driving system.
Powertrains: EREV and 1000V EV Architecture
At its heart, the Leapmotor D19 with the world’s largest EREV battery offers two impressive powertrain choices.
EREV Variant
The extended-range version uses a 1.5T Geely-Aurobay range-extender engine producing 95 kW. It is paired with an 80.3 kWh CATL ultra-hybrid battery, supporting 800V fast charging and delivering a 500 km pure-electric CLTC range. With an AWD dual-motor setup, it outputs 400 kW and 7850 N·m wheel torque. This configuration cements its reputation as the Leapmotor D19 with the world’s largest EREV battery.
Pure EV Variant
The EV model adopts a 1000V high-efficiency electric architecture, powered by motors producing 180 kW and 230 kW. Its 115 kWh CATL hybrid-cell battery offers a remarkable 720 km CLTC range, delivering 540 kW and 8770 N·m wheel torque—making it equally potent.
Conclusion
With cutting-edge safety, luxury, and performance innovations, the Leapmotor D19, with the world’s largest EREV battery, positions itself as one of 2024’s most transformative electric SUVs. Its mix of futuristic tech, extreme-range capabilities, and next-gen architecture ensures a strong presence in global EV markets.
