The Hangzhou-based electric vehicle (EV) builder said the B01, priced from 89,800 yuan (US$12,542) in mainland China, would target markets around the world as it pursued new growth engines amid cutthroat competition at home.<\/p>\n

“We are offering our answer to customers’ demand for an exquisite, value-for-money mass market car,” Cao Li, Leapmotor’s senior vice-president, told a press conference in Hangzhou on Thursday. “We are confident that the new car has largely exceeded market expectations.”<\/p>\n

Deliveries to mainland Chinese customers would begin this month, but the company did not say when the new car would be sold overseas.<\/p>\n

Leapmotor developed the new model based on its upgraded architecture, known as Leap3.5, which supports smart driving and fast charging.<\/p>\n
