The 2026 model year is available in two versions: fully electric and extended range.
On July 10, Chinese company Leapmotor unveiled an updated version of its mid-size crossover C11, aimed at the 2026 market. The model still offers two powertrain options: a fully electric version (BEV) and an extended range hybrid (EREV), capturing two segments of buyers — advocates of pure electrification and those who value additional autonomy.
Prices remain in the brand's traditional range: the starting version costs from 149,800 yuan (about $20,800). The most equipped electric modification is priced at 165,800 yuan (around $23,000). The hybrid EREV version, using a gasoline generator to increase range, will cost buyers from 149,800 to 159,800 yuan ($20,000 to $22,500).
Range is one of the key arguments in favor of the C11. The fully electric modification can travel up to 640 kilometers according to CLTC methodology, while the extended range version shows 300 km on electric power alone and up to 1220 km of total mileage, including the combustion engine. Such figures make the Leapmotor C11 one of the most long-range models in its class, especially against competitors in the EREV segment.
The dimensions of the body remain unchanged: length – 4780 mm, width – 1905 mm, height – 1658 mm with a wheelbase of 2930 mm. To improve energy efficiency, engineers slightly reworked the aerodynamics: the drag coefficient is reduced from 0.286 to 0.28 Cd. The car is available in six colors, including a new beige shade, which has become part of the updated palette.
Technically, both versions are built on a modern 800-volt architecture, allowing for faster charging: from 30% to 80% the battery charges in just 18 minutes — comparable to industry leaders, including some models from Tesla and Nio.
The electric version is equipped with a rear motor generating 220 kW (295 hp), allowing acceleration to 100 km/h in 6.1 seconds. The hybrid utilizes a 1.5-liter gasoline engine (94 hp) combined with a main electric motor producing 200 kW (268 hp). This configuration provides acceleration to 100 km/h in 7.6 seconds. The maximum speed for both versions is 190 km/h.
The interior of the Leapmotor C11 2026 received a new design while maintaining a futuristic focus. In front of the driver is a 10.25-inch digital instrument panel, and in the center, there is a large 17.3-inch screen with 2K resolution. The multimedia system is powered by a robust Qualcomm Snapdragon SA8295P processor, ensuring fast operation of the Leapmotor 4.0 Plus OS. The system integrates an AI assistant based on the DeepSeek model — a local alternative to ChatGPT developed in China.
For those opting for the top configuration, a 60-inch AR display projected onto the windshield is available, along with a lidar with a maximum object detection range of up to 300 meters — a feature once unique to premium models but is gradually making its way into the mass segment of Chinese electric vehicles.
