Quick Review: Leapmotor B01
Vehicle Highlights
  1.  Balanced Range and Charging Efficiency: The range of Leapmotor B01 varies from 430km to 650km, depending on the selected configuration. Taking the 430 Comfort Version as an example, it only takes 0.3 hours for fast charging and 3.8 hours for slow charging, achieving a good balance between daily commuting and charging efficiency.
  2.  Daily-Driving Power Sufficiency: The 430 Comfort Version has a maximum power of 100kW (136Ps), a maximum torque of 175N·m, and a top speed of 150km/h, delivering adequate power performance for urban roads and highway driving. The 650 LiDAR Version is equipped with a 160kW motor and a peak torque of 240N·m, which meets most needs such as business trips and long-distance travel.
  3.  Practical and Considerate Configuration: The 2025 430 Comfort Version comes standard with Auto Hold, and is equipped with 360° Panoramic Image + Transparent Image. Its driving assistance configurations are relatively comprehensive among models in the same price range. The two laser radar versions add Blind Spot Image on the vehicle side to the basic configuration, further ensuring driving safety.
  4. Excellent Cooling Performance: Remote control of air conditioning cooling is available, and it also supports zone control—drivers and front passengers can adjust the temperature according to their own needs, with independent air outlets for the rear row. However, some users have mentioned that the Leapmotor B01's air conditioning has relatively high energy consumption, which will affect the vehicle's range to a certain extent.
Please Note
  1.  Performance Not Top-Tier: The power parameters of the 2025 430 Comfort Version are not outstanding among comparable models. Users seeking a strong acceleration experience need to consider carefully, or increase their budget to choose the Enjoy Version or Laser Radar Version—though with a higher budget, there will be better alternatives.
  2. 2. Moderate Space: The luggage compartment volume of all models is 460L, which is less than the 718L of Roewe D6. It may not meet the travel needs of large families with multiple pieces of luggage.
  3. Trade-offs in Tech & Comfort Features: The Comfort Version lacks power-adjustable seats, sunroof, and other such features. Users with high demands for comfort configurations should choose cautiously, or opt for the Enjoy Version or Laser Radar Version—both come with power-adjustable front seats and a fixed panoramic sunroof.
  4. Persistent In-Car Odor: Some owners who purchased the Leapmotor B01 have reported an odor issue, which requires a long time to dissipate or the use of deodorizing tools like odor-eliminating boxes. Those sensitive to odors or prone to car sickness (along with family members) should consider this carefully.

Positive feedback

The overall space is excellent.

Summary: The trunk has strong storage capacity and the seating space is spacious, which can easily accommodate the travel equipment of a multi-person family.
  1. "For a car around 100,000 yuan, the space is quite large. Anyway, this space is sufficient. What's special is that the trunk is very big, and I can put a lot of things. Usually, three people go out fishing, and the fishing gear can be placed without crowding."
  2. "For our family, this space is completely sufficient. The space in the back row of the five-seater is also very spacious, and the driving experience in the front row is also very good."

The endurance performance is excellent.

Summary: The battery range is reliable, effectively alleviating range anxiety and meeting daily needs.
  1. "I can drive a little over 500 kilometers in urban areas, which is enough for me. I charge it about twice a month, and the monthly electricity cost is over 120 yuan."
  2. "I've driven 1,000 kilometers on the highway. The power consumption is 15 kWh per 100 kilometers. With two people and a load of goods, the full-charge highway range can stably reach 460 kilometers, which is quite satisfying."
  3. "There's no anxiety about the range for now. I chose the 650 Enjoyment version. The power consumption for urban commuting is about 10 kWh per 100 kilometers, and it's completely fine to drive 500-600 plus kilometers on a full charge."

The configuration is practical.

Summary: The configuration is quite practical among cars in the same price range, with functions precisely matching the needs.
  1. "The Leapmotor B01 has much more configurations and is full of cost performance, so I decided to choose it."
  2. "The stability during driving is also good. The three driving modes can be switched at will. I particularly like the sport mode, which is more powerful and accelerates quickly. The kinetic energy recovery adjusted during downhill can basically recover most of the lost power consumption, which is quite satisfactory. As a result, it can be driven longer and has a longer range."

The driving experience is good.

Summary: The audio system and lighting create a great atmosphere, and the seats are comfortable.
  1. "The audio system is my favorite part, with multiple sound effect options, especially the shocking ultra-low rhythm and panoramic surround. The ambient lights have 100 colors, and the change in the 4 air outlets (instead of a whole strip) feels more impressive."
  2. "The seats are quite comfortable. Although the lateral support is a bit lacking, they are really much more comfortable compared to my old car. With my previous car, I tried many types of lumbar supports to find a comfortable one, but now I don't need to put anything—they're already comfortable enough."

Negative feedback

The configuration is useless.

Summary: The vehicle's braking system is overly sensitive, and some modes are ineffective due to excessive sensitivity.
  1. "During high-speed driving, the steering wheel is responsive, but the overall body feels light and somewhat unstable. Wind noise starts to be noticeable at 75 km/h, and it becomes more prominent as the speed increases. When driving at high speed in heavy traffic with close following distances, it's recommended to set the regenerative braking to the weak mode. With the current setup, when you release the accelerator, the vehicle slows down rapidly and applies the brakes simultaneously, which may cause rear-end collisions as following vehicles might not react in time."
  2. "The sentinel mode is quite useless. When the sensitivity is set high, it triggers even at a car's distance away, which is overly sensitive. When the sensitivity is turned down, it doesn't respond even when someone kicks the tires, leans against the door, or pulls the door handle."

The endurance performance is relatively poor.

Summary: The dynamic endurance performance is relatively poor, but it can meet daily living needs.
  1. "The endurance is not ideal, with a dynamic range of just over 300 kilometers. The vehicle's infotainment system operates smoothly, but the assisted driving function needs improvement."
  2. "The endurance is really bad, and the infotainment system consumes too much power—yet you can't turn it off. When driving in the city in summer, the actual mileage achieved is only about half of the stated range."

The new car has a strong odor.

Summary: The new car has a noticeable odor, which requires a relatively long time to dissipate.
  1. "The new car has a strong smell. Although it's claimed to be formaldehyde-free, the peculiar smell is particularly heavy. It still smells even after being exposed to the sun for several days."
  2. "The new car still has a certain smell, which is relatively strong when you first get in."
