Leapmotor B01 2025 650 Enjoy Vehicle Profile: A Long-Range Electric Sedan with Smart Features and High Value
Model Overview: Market Position and Brand Background
Leapmotor is a Chinese new-energy vehicle manufacturer based in Zhejiang, founded in 2015. It develops its core smart-EV technologies in-house — including the three-electric system, smart cabin and smart driving — and is one of the few new forces committed to full-stack self-developed technology. Through models such as the T03, C10, C11 and C16, Leapmotor has built a strong reputation in China, especially for its "high features, high value" pricing strategy.
The Leapmotor B01 is the first pure-electric sedan of Leapmotor's B series, built on the LEAP 3.5 electrical-electronic architecture and launched in July 2025, offered in three ranges (430/550/650 km) across six trim levels. The 2025 650 Enjoy is the main variant balancing long range and practical features — a 650 km range, a 160 kW motor, a Qualcomm 8155 smart cabin and L2 driver assistance — positioned as a compact pure-electric sedan with the theme of "no range anxiety plus smart equality."
Design-wise, the B01 features simple, dynamic sedan lines with a drag coefficient as low as 0.197, combining a streamlined body with bright interior styling. The cabin follows a "Joyful Geometry" design concept, featuring an 8.8-inch full digital cluster and a 14.6-inch 2.5K centre display for strong tech appeal. Materials and workmanship are solid for the class, and the seats use eco-friendly bamboo-fiber fabric with heating and ventilation support.
As Leapmotor's strategic entry into the compact pure-electric sedan segment, the B01 quickly gained market attention thanks to its long range, smart features and high value. Globally, it is positioned as a high-value electric family sedan competing with mainstream compact EVs, with a "German-grade quality, segment-leading features" positioning.

3 Highlights and 3 Weaknesses
Highlight 1: 650 km long-range, a week of commuting without recharging The Leapmotor B01 650 Enjoy packs a 67.1 kWh high-capacity LFP battery (CATL/Times) and delivers 650 km of CLTC range, one of the strongest figures in its price class among pure-electric sedans. Combined with fast charging of just 19 minutes (30%-80%), daily commuting needs only a weekly charge, and cross-city trips cause little range anxiety.
Highlight 2: Rich smart features at a compelling price It comes standard with a 14.6-inch 2.5K centre display, an 8.8-inch full digital cluster and a Qualcomm 8155-based infotainment system (Leapmotor OS 4.0), plus Leapmotor Pilot L2 driver assistance using cameras and ultrasonic sensors, with a 360° panoramic view and auto-parking. In the budget pure-electric sedan segment, this smart-cabin and ADAS combination offers strong value.
Highlight 3: Generous space with a practical double-deck boot With a 4770 mm body length and a 2735 mm wheelbase, rear legroom is generous (about two and a half fists) with ample headroom. The boot uses a double-deck design of 460 L upper plus 70 L lower, expandable by folding the rear seats, making everyday and long-distance loading practical.
Weakness 1: Rear-wheel drive needs care on wet surfaces The rear-motor, rear-drive layout demands a cautious right foot on wet, rainy or snowy roads; if the stability control intervenes late, the tail can step out. Drivers should be attentive in slippery conditions.
Weakness 2: Comfort-biased tuning, average handling limits The suspension is tuned for comfort, so body roll in corners is a little greater than sporty rivals. Enthusiasts wanting a taut, engaging feel may find the dynamics less precise.
Weakness 3: Some advanced ADAS features are reserved for higher trims The 650 Enjoy is a mid-spec model. Although it comes standard with L2 assistance, the LiDAR and urban navigation (NOA) advanced functions are exclusive to the top 650 LiDAR trim, so buyers wanting the highest ADAS level must step up.
Cost of Ownership and Service
Warranty policy The Leapmotor B01 offers a 4-year / 120,000 km vehicle warranty, with lifetime warranty for the first owner (subject to official terms), plus a long warranty covering the battery, motor and electronic control system for long-term peace of mind.
Maintenance cost With no engine, running costs center on the cabin filter, brake fluid, gear oil and tyres. Compared with equivalent petrol cars, routine service items are fewer and intervals longer, so annual upkeep is clearly lower.
Charging cost (based on global average residential electricity) Using the global average residential electricity price of about 0.176 USD/kWh (Global Petrol Prices, 2026 Q2) and an average real-world consumption of about 11.4 kWh/100 km, the Leapmotor B01 costs roughly 2.0 USD per 100 km to charge. Even at higher commercial rates, everyday energy costs are far below a petrol car.
True total cost of ownership As a pure EV, the main energy spend is electricity, with low maintenance and a first-owner lifetime warranty, so long-term total cost of ownership is clearly favorable. Note that real-world consumption differs somewhat from the CLTC figure, with range dropping on highways and in winter, so plan charging ahead for long trips.
Competitor Comparison
The Leapmotor B01 2025 650 Enjoy is positioned as a compact pure-electric sedan, competing with the Geely Galaxy L6 2025 1.5 EM-i DHT Star, Xiaopeng MONA M03 2026 540 Long-Range Plus and Volkswagen ID.3 2025 Smart Pure-Enjoy. Among the four, the B01, the MONA M03 and the ID.3 are pure electric, while the Galaxy L6 is a plug-in hybrid.
The B01 stands out with 650 km of long range, L2 driver assistance and a 14.6-inch display; the Galaxy L6 offers plug-in hybrid flexibility with 2000 km combined range and the convenience of fuel or electric power; the MONA M03, also pure electric, has the longest wheelbase (2815 mm) and a youthful fastback layout; the ID.3 is built on German engineering with a solid rear-drive chassis and balanced quality.
Though they compete at similar prices, their energy types and buyer profiles differ clearly, suiting different needs.

Real Reviews: Owner Feedback
Positive feedback
Reliable range, convenient charging, easy daily use
"The 650 range is not fake — I don't need to charge all week for daily commuting, and fast charging is quick, so there's no range anxiety." (Leapmotor B01 owner)
Spacious and comfortable with a good rear seat
"The rear is very spacious; three people fit without feeling cramped, legroom is generous and the seats are comfortable." (Leapmotor B01 owner)
Rich features, smooth infotainment and high value
"At this price to get a 14.6-inch display and an 8155 chip, the system never lags — very generous features and high value for money." (Leapmotor B01 owner)
Negative feedback
Soft chassis with greater cornering roll
"The suspension is tuned for comfort; there is a bit more body roll when cornering, and sportiness is lacking." (Leapmotor B01 owner)
Some ADAS features limited, need the top trim
"For city navigation and other advanced functions you need the LiDAR version; the lower trims have basic L2 ADAS, and the features are fewer than expected." (Leapmotor B01 owner)
Rear-drive needs care in snow
"In northern winters on snowy roads, rear-drive can slip from a standstill; drive carefully and consider winter tyres." (Leapmotor B01 owner)
