Among the first batch of B01 customers, over 70 percent opted for the 650-kilometer long-range version, Cao Li, Leapmotor's senior vice president, said on Weibo today.

The B01 comes in six variants, including one with a CLTC range of 430 kilometers, three with a CLTC range of 550 kilometers, and two with a CLTC range of 650 kilometers.
The highest-priced variants with a range of 550 kilometers and 650 kilometers are equipped with LiDAR to provide better smart driving performance.

In addition to the B01, Leapmotor currently sells the T03, B10, C01, C10, C11, and C16 models in China.
The T03, B01, and B10 are available only as BEV variants, while the other models are also available as extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) variants.
Two senior executives from the company said on Monday that it will launch a new D-series lineup, with the first model being a full-size SUV (sport utility vehicle).
