History
Overview
The car is a coupe with 2+2 seating. The top version, powered by an electric motor producing 168 hp (125 kW; 170 PS) and 250 N⋅m (184 lb⋅ft), can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 6.9 seconds. The motor is a permanent magnet synchronous motor.[7]
The vehicle combines small height and small width (hence the small frontal area) with an aerodynamic side profile and a relatively low mass for an EV (the manufacturer does not specify it on its website,[8] but one previous announcement indicated a mass of only 1240 kg[9]).
The car features level 2 autonomous driving (called "Leap Pilot"), with a possibility of enabling level 3 autonomous driving in the future through over-the-air updates.[10][8]
As of March 2020, two battery options - 35.6 kWh and 48 kWh - are available.[7] Typically for Chinese cars, the range is given only according to the overly optimistic NEDC methodology, no longer in use in Europe. However, with a 48 kWh battery and given the car's small dimensions, the EPA range can be reasonably estimated at not less than 190 miles (310 km).[citation needed]
