Leapmotor’s B01 Electric Sedan Reaches 10,000 Units Produced in Seven Days, Reflecting High Demand and Industrial Efficiency in China

The Chinese automaker Leapmotor, part of the Stellantis group, surprised the automotive market by announcing that it produced 10,000 units of the B01 sedan in just one week.

The model was launched on Wednesday, the 24th, and the brand celebrated the production milestone on the 30th. The volume reflects the impressive capacity of Chinese factories.

The most important aspect is that production nearly matches the number of orders received right after the launch.

Comparisons with the Brazilian Market

Leapmotor’s agility contrasts with the Brazilian reality. In the case of the new Tera SUV, Volkswagen Brazil received 12,000 orders in just 50 minutes.

However, its plant in Taubaté (SP) can produce about 6,000 units per month, revealing a different production pace.

The B01 is Leapmotor’s second sedan and was designed to cater to families. According to the automaker, 72% of buyers are under 35 years old.

Another noteworthy fact is that 48% of the orders were made by women. The brand bets on this new generation of consumers, who are increasingly connected and demanding.

Motorization and Range of the B01

Leapmotor offers the B01 with three rear motor options: 135 hp, 179 hp, and 217 hp. Torque ranges between 17.8 kgfm and 24.4 kgfm.

Range is also a differentiator. According to the Chinese standard, the car can travel between 430 km and 650 km on a single charge.

At 4.7 meters long and a wheelbase of 2.73 meters, the sedan offers good space for occupants. The width is 1.88 m and the height is 1.49 m.

The trunk has a capacity of 460 liters, reinforcing the model’s family appeal.

Technology and Interior Finish of the B01

Safety is also a highlight. The B01 features 26 driving assistants, operated by a set of 10 cameras, 12 ultrasonic radars, 3 millimeter-wave radars, and a lidar sensor with a range of 300 meters.

The interior offers three color options, an 8.8” dashboard, and a 14.6” multimedia center.

Despite its success, the B01 will not come to Brazil. With prices ranging from 89,800 to 119,800 yuan (about R$ 69,700 to R$ 92,985), Leapmotor confirmed that it will first bring the C10 model, an electric vehicle with range extender.

The B01, being 100% electric, is not in the brand’s immediate plans for the country.

Tomara que a China chegue o mais rápido para ocupar um terreno que os americanos, europeus, japoneses e coreanos sempre abusaram. Agora que a China está chegando, elas âncora pela ANFAVEA estão procurando boicotar. Vida longa China!

A fábrica é na China, más pertence a grupo europeu o que significa que dessa marca receberemos o mesmo de sempre que o ocidente nos entrega, modelos velhos, lançamentos ultrapassados da Europa, que venham as fábricas chinesas e nos fabriquem aqui tecnologia de ponta

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

SpaceX will dock a $843 million vehicle to the International Space Station to push a nearly 420-ton laboratory against the atmosphere and make the debris fall in a controlled manner into the ocean.

China opens the world’s first school where more than 100 humanoid robots from different brands will study together, each movement will be repeated up to 600 times a day and the data will feed a collective brain that will teach all the robots of the future.

Cambodia has started digging a nearly 180-kilometer canal to connect the Mekong River directly to the sea and reduce its dependence on the ports of neighboring Vietnam.

Scientists considered detonating 213 nuclear bombs in the Sahara to create an artificial sea the size of El Salvador, with each explosion being a hundred times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb, and the goal was to generate more energy than Egypt’s largest hydroelectric plant.

An illegal mountain of waste 6 meters high and 10,000 tons has emerged in England, threatens to catch fire, could cost millions to remove, and exposes how illegal dumping has become a business for criminals.

Speed radar installed in a hidden village in the Dolomites becomes the protagonist of a million-dollar revenue and places small Italian towns at the center of a national controversy.

While the world rushes to mine lithium from Congo and Chile, Brazil sits on one of the largest reserves and has barely begun to explore.

While Japan is seen as a global symbol of cleanliness, entire houses taken over by garbage expose loneliness, aging, and a legal barrier that prevents quick actions by municipalities.

The 2012 Mitsubishi Pajero Dakar diesel shows 314,000 km and still draws attention for its reputation for durability; the seven-seater 4×4 SUV handles trails, but signs of severe use may conceal losses for used car buyers.

Peugeot publicly acknowledged the errors of the PureTech engine, which caused serious failures in hundreds of thousands of cars, and introduced the new Turbo 100 as a definitive solution, a 1.2 turbo tested for over 3 million kilometers that replaces the faulty belt with a more durable chain.

Automatic cars become ‘cheap’ in Brazil, and models from Toyota, Hyundai, Nissan, and Honda appear for R$ 65,000 with up to 120 hp, CVT transmission, 482 liters of trunk space, keyless entry, and six airbags to tackle traffic without a clutch.

Honda revives a classic from Brazilian streets with a new name, TFT panel, and reprogrammed engine in the 2027 lineup; see the first impressions of the CB500 Hornet, which arrives with 49.6 hp, 4.5 kgf.m torque, 6-speed gearbox, 175 kg, and Showa suspension on Brazilian streets.
