On November 7, 2025, LEAPMOTOR officially launched the presale of its new product, the LEAPMOTOR Lafa5, in Hangzhou, with a presale price ranging from 105,800 to 131,800 RMB. This car is positioned as a sporty coupe, built on the LEAPMOTOR LEAP3.5 technology architecture, incorporating multiple technologies.
The design of the LEAPMOTOR Lafa5 continues the concept of “Technological Natural Aesthetics,” creating a sporty vibe through a wide-body low posture, clean lines, and detailed textures. The body width reaches 1880mm, combined with a 61.4° front windshield angle and a short front and rear overhang design. The side beltline is inspired by the trajectory of a track corner apex, flowing from the front to the rear. In detail, the LEAPMOTOR Lafa5 comes with standard frameless doors and flush side windows, with a glossy black glass B-pillar seamlessly integrating with the frameless doors. The 19-inch swept-wing sport rims, six auxiliary driving blue lights, and high-gloss black piano lacquer trim further enhance the vehicle’s refinement. To optimize aerodynamics, the LEAPMOTOR Lafa5 employs 16 design elements, such as an active air intake grille and air curtains, reducing the drag coefficient to 0.256. Additionally, the new car offers exclusive colors: Electric Yellow and Fast Grey, along with six color options including Morgan Pink and Starry Night Blue.
In terms of interior design, the LEAPMOTOR Lafa5 features a super-elliptical digital curved design, paired with matte gun gray chrome accents and a 256-color Time Engine ambient lighting. The interior color options include Speed Realm Purple, Sprinting Gray, and Racing Gray. The driving control DNA of the LEAPMOTOR Lafa5 stems from a joint tuning with the Stellantis Group’s chassis team. The team completed over 20 extreme condition tests based on a global typical road spectrum database across multiple locations in France and China. The chassis hardware includes front and rear anti-roll bars, front MacPherson, and rear multi-link independent suspension combinations, paired with a 50:50 axle load ratio, 5.17m turning radius, front narrow rear wide tires, and 34,500 N·m/deg high torsional rigidity body.
The LEAPMOTOR Lafa5 has undergone a comprehensive upgrade in power performance and intelligent technology. In terms of power, it is equipped with a 160kW rear-mounted rear-drive 7-in-1 oil-cooled electric drive, achieving 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in 6.4 seconds. The globally pioneering VCU and MCU chip-level integration technology increases the power response speed by five times compared to traditional solutions, working with the launch control mode and LMC integrated sports fusion control system. In terms of range, the new car achieves a range of up to 605 km under CLTC conditions, with a 30%-80% charge taking only 18 minutes.
