China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) released a new regulatory catalog yesterday for public comment, and the Leapmotor B01 is included. The public can submit feedback between April 17-23. Entry into the catalog is the last major regulatory process by which a model can be allowed to be sold in China. The Leapmotor B01 has three pages in the catalog, all of which are battery electric vehicle (BEV) versions, and are manufactured at Leapmotor's two production sites in Jinhua, Zhejiang province. The all-electric sedan measures 4,770 mm in length, 1,880 mm in width and 1,490 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,735 mm. <img src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://img.cnevpost.com/2025/04/17134247/2025041705424729.jpg?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg" width="1200" height="729" original-src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://img.cnevpost.com/2025/04/17134247/2025041705424729.jpg"/> These dimensions are smaller than those of the C01, Leapmotor's C-class sedan, which measures 5,050 mm in length, 1,902 mm in width and 1,515 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,930 mm. The B01 has a curb weight of 1,625 kg, 1,660 kg and 1,711 kg, respectively, and supports a top speed of 160 kilometers per hour. The model is powered by a single electric motor, with two motor options available, with peak power of 132 kW and 160 kW, respectively. The B01 is powered by lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries from Gotion High-tech, CALB, and Zenergy. The model supports the option of LiDAR for the roof. The B01 will make its debut at the Shanghai auto show, which will begin on April 23, Leapmotor said on Weibo today. The B01 will be the second model in Leapmotor's B-series, the first of which, the B10, just went on sale on April 10. Leapmotor's main selling models are the C-series, which include the C01 sedan, as well as the C10, C11, and C16 SUVs (sport utility vehicles). The B-series appears to be aimed at a market that is less expensive than the C-series. On March 10, Leapmotor management said in a media interview that it was confident it would see monthly sales of more than 40,000 units of the B-series. Leapmotor delivered 37,095 vehicles in March, up 154.65 percent from 14,567 in the same month last year, and up 46.70 percent from 25,287 in February, according to figures it released earlier this month. Leapmotor is targeting sales of 500,000 to 600,000 units in 2025, its founder, chairman and CEO, Zhu Jiangming, said on March 11. The company delivered 293,724 vehicles in 2024, up 103.76 percent from 2023.<img src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://img.cnevpost.com/2025/04/17134249/2025041705424975.jpg?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg" width="1200" height="848" original-src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://img.cnevpost.com/2025/04/17134249/2025041705424975.jpg"/> <img src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://img.cnevpost.com/2025/04/17134251/2025041705425041.jpg?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg" width="1200" height="848" original-src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://img.cnevpost.com/2025/04/17134251/2025041705425041.jpg"/> <figure id="attachment_109537"><img src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://img.cnevpost.com/2025/04/17134453/2025041705445377.jpg?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg" width="500" height="889" original-src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://img.cnevpost.com/2025/04/17134453/2025041705445377.jpg"/><figcaption id="caption-attachment-109537">(Image credit: Leapmotor)</figcaption></figure> <div> <div> <img src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://img.cnevpost.com/2025/04/10174635/2025041009463559.jpg?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg" width="1200" height="626" original-src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://img.cnevpost.com/2025/04/10174635/2025041009463559.jpg"/> </div> <div> Leapmotor officially launches B10 compact SUV, prices start at $13,590 The B10 secured 10,016 firm orders one hour after its launch, Leapmotor said. </div> </div> </div>
