The L380 ultra-long-range is expected to deliver an electric range of over 800 kilometers, a noteworthy figure in the existing market.

The highlight of this model lies in its newly integrated CTP 3.0 Kirin batteries from CATL, boasting a substantial capacity of 140kWh, and an energy density reaching 200Wh/kg. This high energy density battery technology is the critical component behind the L380’s remarkable mileage. Special design tweaks have also been implemented, such as the 1.9-meter integrated infinite slide rail and rear drop-down design, contributing to an added 163-litre luggage hold expansion capability, enhancing the vehicle’s usability.

The L380 offers diverse seating configurations, accommodating from 3 to 8 seats. Particularly, the 6-seat version provides a seat spacing of 200 millimeters, granting passengers generous and comfy space.
