The Leapmotor B01 () is a battery electric compact sedan (C-segment) manufactured by Leapmotor since 2025. It is the second vehicle in the C-series model range after the B10.
The B01 was unveiled in April 2025 at the 2025 Shanghai Auto Show, and two months later, pre-sales were opened on June 29 of the same year.

The B01 uses the same LEAP 3.5 platform with the Leapmotor B10 that was introduced earlier in the month.
It follows the Gravity Field design language of other Leapmotor models with a split headlight design and three-strip daytime running lights as well as pop-out door handles, 18-inch alloy wheels, and light bar style taillights.
Features The interior uses a 14.6-inch 2.5K touchscreen and an 8.8-inch digital cluster that supports over-the-air updates. The touchscreen is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip on most models and is powered by a Snapdragon 8295 chip on high-end models. A 256-color ambient lighting system is also included on the B01. Higher trims levels receive a LiDAR system and Qualcomm Snapdragon Ride 8650 chip powering its ADAS system. All trim levels use adjustable heated and ventilated front seats.
2026 update On 16 July 2026, the updated B01, marketed as the 2027 model year, was released in China with updated powertrains and minor changes to the interior and exterior. The exterior is now available in two new paint colors: Liquid Silver and Cloudy Purple. The central infotainment touchscreen has been upgraded to a 17.3-inch 3K-resolution unit and is supplemented by a new 55-inch augmented-reality heads-up display, and all variants are now powered by the Snapdragon 8295P SoC. The wired charging ports have been upgraded to output up to 60 watts, and the wireless charging pads are now twin active-cooled 50-watt units. The front row now has optional 'zero-gravity' recline function with extending legrest and massage function, and the driver's headrest now has integrated personal speakers. The accessory mounting slots on the dashboard have been removed, resulting in a recessed shelf design, and the center console now has a split-opening lid. Trunk volume has increased from to .
The powertrain has been updated with new battery packs for every variant and more powerful motors for most variants. The larger battery pack is now equipped with 800-volt class power electronics, resulting in a 3080% charging time of 16minutes.
Powertrain As with the B10, the B01 is available with two rear-wheel-drive electric powertrains with both models on an 400-volt charging architecture. The base model uses a electric motor mounted on the rear axle while all other trims use a motor mounted the same way. All trims use both 56.2kWh and 67.1kWh LFP batteries except for the base trim, which uses a 43.9kWh LFP battery paired with a weaker motor. Models with the 56.2kWh battery can travel on a single charge while models with the 67.1kWh battery can travel on a single charge. DC fast charging from 30% to 80% is around 20 minutes regardless of which battery the car has.
For 2026, the battery options were updated to larger 67.1kWh and 69.7kWh LFP packs providing of CLTC range, respectively. The base variant retains the old motor, while the remaining smaller battery variants receive a motor and larger battery variants have a motor. The larger battery variants are equipped with 800-volt class power electronics, allowing for a 3080% charge time of 16minutes. +SpecificationsModelYearBatteryMotorPowerTorqueRange3080% time0Top speedKerb weightTypeWeightCLTC430 Comfort20252643.9kWh LFPTZ180XS102 PMSM18 min9.4550 Comfort, Smart56.2kWh LFPTZ180XS101 PMSM8.7550 Enjoy, LiDARTZ180XY005 PMSM6.4650 Enjoy, LiDAR67.1kWh LFP19 min6.5590 Comfort2026present60.8kWh LFPTZ180XS101 PMSM21 min9.1590 Enjoy, LiDARTZ180QY073 PMSM6.3670 Enjoy, LiDAR69.7kWh LFPTZ180QY075 PMSM16 min6.1
