Leapmotor B01 specs: two AT versions, one generation
Both versions sit in 1 generation, body Sedan, start 2025-04-01, stop not measured. Both are named AT in the database; they must be distinguished by power: AT 180 hp and AT 218 hp.
Both versions sit in 1 generation, body Sedan, start 2025-04-01, stop not measured. Both are named AT in the database; they must be distinguished by power: AT 180 hp and AT 218 hp.
Shared hardware from the data: fuel Electro, engine type Electro, gearbox Automatic with 1 speed, drive RWD, top speed 160, front suspension Independent, spring, rear suspension Independent, spring, front brakes Ventilated disc, rear brakes Disc ventilated. Displacement, cylinders, cylinder layout, valves per cylinder, boost, engine location, fuel system, compression, bore and stroke, torque (Nm), 0–100, city/highway/combined consumption, tank, CO2, eco class, gross weight, ground clearance, and wheel sizes are not measured on either AT.
The measured differences that decide a purchase are horsepower and kerb weight.
Generations: what 1 generation actually offers
1 generation (2025-04-01–stop not measured) is a Sedan with 2 versions, both AT. There is no restyling in the data and no second generation to wait for. Choosing a B01 is choosing an AT power level inside this generation, not choosing a later body or a later year range.
Engine and specs table (AT 180 hp vs AT 218 hp)
| Version | hp | kW | Nm | Displacement | Fuel | Cylinders | Layout | Boost | Gearbox | Speeds | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AT (180 hp) | 180 | 132 | not measured | not measured | Electro | not measured | not measured | not measured | Automatic | 1 | RWD |
| AT (218 hp) | 218 | 132 | not measured | not measured | Electro | not measured | not measured | not measured | Automatic | 1 | RWD |
Power gap: 218 − 180 = 38 hp, which is 38 / 180 ≈ 21.1% more peak horsepower on AT 218 hp.
The data lists 132 kW on both AT rows. That is the measured kW figure for each version; it does not change with the 38 hp gap. Do not infer a third power figure. Use 180 hp with 132 kW for the first AT, and 218 hp with 132 kW for the second AT.
Torque is not measured on either AT, so a newton-metre comparison is not available. Displacement is not measured, so power per litre is not available.
Performance, mpg, and top speed: what is measured
0–100 is not measured for AT 180 hp and not measured for AT 218 hp. A quicker sprint cannot be claimed from this catalogue.
Top speed is 160 on both AT versions. The extra 38 hp does not buy a higher listed maximum.
Fuel consumption (city, highway, mixed) is not measured on either AT. mpg is not measured. Tank is not measured. CO2 is not measured. Economy ranking between the two AT versions is not available from these numbers.
What is measured for on-road ranking is kerb weight versus horsepower (next section). That is the only arithmetic performance proxy in the data.
Dimensions, weight, and what the heavier AT carries
Gross weight is not measured. Ground clearance is not measured. Tank is not measured. Wheel sizes are not measured. Those fields do not separate the two AT versions.
Kerb weight is measured:
- AT 180 hp: 1625
- AT 218 hp: 1660
Difference: 1660 − 1625 = 35 more kerb mass on AT 218 hp, about 35 / 1625 ≈ 2.2% heavier.
Weight per horsepower (kerb ÷ hp):
- AT 180 hp: 1625 / 180 ≈ 9.03 kg per hp
- AT 218 hp: 1660 / 218 ≈ 7.61 kg per hp
Horsepower per 1000 kg of kerb:
- AT 180 hp: 180 / 1.625 ≈ 110.8 hp per 1000 kg
- AT 218 hp: 218 / 1.660 ≈ 131.3 hp per 1000 kg
The 218 hp AT is both more powerful and slightly heavier, but the 38 hp gain outweighs the 35 kg gain on a per-horsepower basis: about 1.42 kg less mass per hp (9.03 − 7.61). That is the only measured “what extra capability you get” figure. Prices are not in the data, so “what extra money buys” cannot be stated as a currency amount; the extra listed capability is 38 hp and 35 kg, with unchanged 160 top speed, unchanged RWD, unchanged Automatic 1, unchanged Electro.
Suspension and brakes do not differ by version: Independent, spring front and rear; Ventilated disc front; Disc ventilated rear on both AT rows.
Which version to choose
There is no generation fork. Buy inside 1 generation Sedan, name AT, split only by 180 hp versus 218 hp.
Choose AT 180 hp if the goal is the lighter listed car: kerb 1625, 9.03 kg/hp, 110.8 hp per 1000 kg, same 160 top speed, same RWD, same Automatic 1, same Electro. You give up 38 hp and accept a worse weight-to-power ratio. 0–100, consumption, tank, clearance, wheels, Nm, and displacement remain not measured, so this choice is not an economy or sprint choice from the data — it is the lower-power, lower-kerb AT.
Choose AT 218 hp if the goal is the stronger listed power and the better mass-per-hp number: 218 hp, kerb 1660, 7.61 kg/hp, 131.3 hp per 1000 kg. You take 35 kg extra kerb. You do not get a higher listed top speed (still 160), a different drive (still RWD), a different gearbox (still Automatic, 1), or a measured 0–100 / mpg advantage (those are not measured). kW in the data stays 132 on this AT as well.
Do not choose between generations. pokoleniy is 1. There is no older B01 generation with different body type, and no restyling row.
Do not split on body, fuel, or drive. Both versions are Sedan, Electro, RWD. AWD is not in the data. A second body type is not in the data.
Reliability / problems: the launch data has no failure rates, recalls, or problem counts. Those topics are not measured here; they cannot be used to pick an AT.
Practical rule from the numbers only: if you want the catalogue’s better hp-to-weight AT, take AT 218 hp (7.61 kg/hp versus 9.03). If you want the catalogue’s lighter AT, take AT 180 hp (1625 versus 1660). Everything else that is filled in the table is the same; everything else that is empty is not measured on both.
