Leapmotor has officially launched the 2026 C16 SUV on June 18, 2025. The new model starts at ¥151,800 and offers both 6-seat and new 5-seat versions. It brings over 70 upgrades, adding value worth more than ¥25,000.
The C16 continues its success in the large SUV segment. Since 2024, Leapmotor has delivered over 70,000 units. Impressively, the C16 owns 70% of its segment in China, winning both sales and user trust.
To meet evolving family needs, Leapmotor introduces the 5-seat version of the C16. It offers full luxury features and flexible interior design. Notably, it includes ten unique standard features in its class.
For example, the rear seats fold down electrically to form a 2-meter flat bed. Users can enjoy a “mobile bedroom” anywhere. Moreover, it features a cinema mode with a 15.6-inch screen and 21-speaker system.
Additionally, the rear cargo space expands up to 1663L. This makes room for bikes, camping gear, or surfboards. It is ideal for outdoor lovers and active families.
The cabin also features Nappa leather seats with massage, heating, and ventilation. Rear passengers enjoy 140° recline and 180mm sliding seats. The second row truly feels like a luxury suite.
The 2026 6-seat C16 offers major upgrades in comfort, range, and smart tech. It enhances Leapmotor’s award-winning MPSUV design by combining MPV space and SUV style.
The cabin space reaches 3301mm, with an industry-best 67.2% space utilization rate. The 5290L total volume tops the class. A “theater-style” seat layout improves third-row leg and headroom.
Further enhancing ride quality, the C16 uses FSD adaptive dampers and LMC tire burst control. Comfort improves by over 50% on rough roads, while stability and safety remain excellent.
The EV version includes an 81.9kWh battery and 630km CLTC range. Thanks to 800V fast charging, it charges from 30% to 80% in just 18 minutes. This eliminates range anxiety for city and highway driving.
The EREV model now supports 280km electric range and 1150km total range. It adds two driving modes and nine power combinations. These updates offer flexible power for any scenario.
Leapmotor equips the C16 with the SA8295P chip and Leapmotor OS 4.0 Plus. It enables smooth, natural voice interaction with large AI models like DeepSeek+ and Tongyi Qianwen.
Passengers can talk continuously, use dialects, or give multi-modal commands. Response speed has greatly improved.
For driving safety, the C16 includes 28 intelligent sensors, LiDAR, and a Snapdragon 8650 chip. It supports 27 ADAS features like NAP and NAC. Long drives feel easier and safer than ever.
Battery safety meets the latest national standards. The C16 passed extreme tests like fire, crush, and water exposure. Its AI BMS system uses big data to monitor and prevent battery risks.
Inside, the seats use baby-grade silicone materials. An AQS air system ensures fresh, healthy air for all passengers. Leapmotor offers a truly “mother and baby-grade” safe cabin.
By moving beyond price wars, the 2026 C16 focuses on real user value. With champion 6-seat and all-new 5-seat options, Leapmotor addresses every family’s travel needs.
Through breakthrough comfort, range, and smart tech, the C16 sets a new standard in its class. For those seeking practicality with premium quality, the 2026 Leapmotor C16 is an ideal choice.
