Leapmotor has launched four models, namely the S01, the T03, the C11 and the C01. The automaker’s latest vehicle model, the C01, was officially launched in May and will hit the market on September 28 with deliveries to start in the third quarter of this year.

The sedan is able to churn out a maximum torque of 360N·m and a rev of 16,000rpm. The high-performance dual-motor trim of the C01 can output up to 400kW with a 720N·m peak torque.

In August, the company added two new variants to its C11 SUV lineup, the 2022 executive 610 version and the 2022 smart travel 510 version. The two new trim levels target the business-to-business market.

Last month, Leapmotor was granted permission by the China Security Regulatory Commission (CSRC) to issue foreign shares that are listed abroad and unlisted domestic shares overseas, according to the information updated last week by the CSRC.
