Lingbao Lingbox UNI

Which Lingbox UNI version to buy

Buy AT 11.52 kWh if the car will stay on short, repeatable urban loops and you want the smaller pack. Buy AT 15.97 kWh if you need the extra 4.45 kWh on the same 28 hp drivetrain. There is no third engine, no other gearbox, no other drive, and no second generation to “wait for” in this dataset.

Buy AT 11.52 kWh if the car will stay on short, repeatable urban loops and you want the smaller pack. Buy AT 15.97 kWh if you need the extra 4.45 kWh on the same 28 hp drivetrain. There is no third engine, no other gearbox, no other drive, and no second generation to “wait for” in this dataset.

Power, torque, body, and speed do not change with the pack. AT 11.52 kWh and AT 15.97 kWh are both 28 hp, both 86 Nm, both Mini 3-doors, both RWD, both Automatic with 1 speed, both limited to 100 km/h. Choosing the larger pack does not buy more horsepower, more newton-metres, a different layout, or a higher listed top speed.

Generation comparison: what changed (and what did not)

There is 1 generation. It starts 2023-04-01 and has stop not measured (null). Body type is Mini 3-doors. Version count is 2. There is no restyling listed as a separate generation, and no earlier or later generation to compare against.

Because only one generation exists, “which generation to buy” collapses to “which of the two packs in generation 1.” Nothing in the data shows a later chassis, a later motor, or a later brake/suspension package. Front suspension is Independent, spring on both versions. Rear suspension is Semi-independent, springorts hélicoïdaux, sem on both. Front brakes are Disc on both. Rear brakes are Drum on both.

Arithmetic that would usually separate generations (power jump, torque jump, extra gears, drive change) is zero here:

• Horsepower: 28 − 28 = 0 hp between versions and between any “old vs new” generation (there is only one).
• Torque: 86 − 86 = 0 Nm.
• Peak power in kW: 20 − 20 = 0 kW.
• Top speed: 100 − 100 = 0 km/h.
• CO2: 0 − 0 = 0.
• Speeds in the Automatic: 1 − 1 = 0.

The generation did not split the range into a “weak” and a “strong” motor. It split it into two Electro packs on one motor.

Engine and specs: both versions side by side

Displacement, cylinders, cylinder layout, and boost are not measured on both versions. Do not treat the Lingbox UNI as a petrol catalogue car with litres and cylinder counts: those fields are empty. Fuel and engine type are Electro.

Power per litre cannot be calculated: displacement is not measured on AT 11.52 kWh and not measured on AT 15.97 kWh. Any “hp per litre” ranking would invent a litre figure.

Weight per horsepower cannot be calculated: kerb weight is not measured on both versions. Any “kg/hp” ranking would invent mass.

What can be calculated is energy per listed horsepower, using the pack figures that are in the names:

• AT 11.52 kWh: 11.52 / 28 ≈ 0.411 kWh per hp.
• AT 15.97 kWh: 15.97 / 28 ≈ 0.570 kWh per hp.

That is 0.159 kWh per hp more on AT 15.97 kWh (about 38.6% more energy for the same 28 hp). The larger pack stores more energy behind an unchanged motor, not a stronger motor.

Energy per newton-metre:

• AT 11.52 kWh: 11.52 / 86 ≈ 0.134 kWh per Nm.
• AT 15.97 kWh: 15.97 / 86 ≈ 0.186 kWh per Nm.

Again the gap is the pack, not the torque figure.

What the extra pack actually buys

The extra on AT 15.97 kWh versus AT 11.52 kWh is 4.45 kWh. Relative increase: 4.45 / 11.52 ≈ 38.6%.

What that extra does not buy, according to the same rows:

• Not more than 28 hp.
• Not more than 86 Nm.
• Not more than 20 kW.
• Not a second gear: both stay Automatic 1.
• Not a second driven axle: both stay RWD.
• Not a higher listed top speed: both 100 km/h.
• Not a different body: both Mini 3-doors.
• Not different brakes or springs: same Independent, spring front; same Semi-independent, springorts hélicoïdaux, sem rear; same Disc front; same Drum rear.
• Not a CO2 trade-off: both 0.

Prices are not in this dataset. “What the extra money buys” therefore cannot be stated as a currency delta. It can only be stated as +4.45 kWh on an otherwise identical measured drivetrain.

If your use is the same 28 hp, 86 Nm, 100 km/h envelope, the only measured reason to take AT 15.97 kWh is that 38.6% larger pack. If that extra energy is unused (short, frequent charging, short radius), AT 11.52 kWh is the version that does not add 4.45 kWh you will not use.

Performance: 0–100, top speed, consumption

0–100 is not measured for AT 11.52 kWh and not measured for AT 15.97 kWh. You cannot rank which version is quicker to 100 km/h from this catalogue. Same 28 hp and same 86 Nm do not prove equal 0–100 when mass is also not measured; they only prove the listed power and torque are equal.

Top speed is 100 km/h on AT 11.52 kWh and 100 km/h on AT 15.97 kWh. There is no faster version in the range. A buyer who needs a listed maximum above 100 km/h has no Lingbox UNI version in this data that meets that.

Fuel consumption (city, highway, mixed) is not measured on both versions. MPG and litres/100 km are not in the data because fuel is Electro and the consumption fields are empty. Do not infer an economy ranking from pack size: a 15.97 kWh pack is not a measured consumption figure.

Tank is not measured on both (electric; no fuel tank figure given).

CO2 is 0 on AT 11.52 kWh and 0 on AT 15.97 kWh. There is no “dirtier” version in the table.

Dimensions, weight, clearance, wheels

These fields are the same absence on both versions, so they do not break the tie:

• Kerb weight: not measured (AT 11.52 kWh), not measured (AT 15.97 kWh).
• Gross weight: not measured, not measured.
• Ground clearance: not measured, not measured.
• Tank: not measured, not measured.
• Wheel sizes: not measured, not measured.

You cannot pick the “lighter” Lingbox UNI, the “taller” one, or the one with “larger wheels” from this dataset. If a 4.45 kWh pack typically implies more mass, that mass is not measured here and must not be written as a kilogram figure.

Because kerb weight is missing, power-to-weight is not measured. 28 hp on an unknown mass is not a ranking.

Reliability, problems, and what the specs do and do not tell you

This catalogue does not list reliability scores, common faults, recall counts, or service intervals. Those topics cannot be filled from the launch data. What the data does fix:

• One generation only (from 2023-04-01, end not measured).
• Two Electro versions, same 28 hp / 86 Nm / RWD / Automatic 1 / 100 km/h / 0 CO2.
• Front Disc, rear Drum on both — no “four-disc” option in the table.
• Independent, spring front and Semi-independent, springorts hélicoïdaux, sem rear on both — no sport or adaptive package listed.

A buyer looking for a later, “fixed” generation will not find one in these rows. A buyer looking for a petrol or hybrid Lingbox UNI will not find one: tip_dvigatelya_en is Electro twice.

Decision rule using only these numbers

1. Need the larger measured energy store: AT 15.97 kWh (15.97 kWh, +4.45 kWh vs the other version, +38.6%). 2. Need the smaller measured energy store, same motor: AT 11.52 kWh (11.52 kWh, 28 hp, 86 Nm, 100 km/h, RWD, Automatic 1). 3. Need more than 28 hp, more than 86 Nm, or more than 100 km/h listed: neither version; those figures do not exist in this model’s two rows. 4. Need AWD, more than 1 Automatic speed, a non-Electro fuel, or a body other than Mini 3-doors: neither version. 5. Need a second generation, a restyle generation, or a pre-2023 Lingbox UNI: not in this data (1 generation, start 2023-04-01). 6. Need 0–100, mpg, kerb weight, clearance, or wheel size to decide: those values are not measured; they cannot decide the purchase inside this catalogue.

The Lingbox UNI buying question is therefore a pack-size question, not an engine-family question. AT 11.52 kWh and AT 15.97 kWh are mechanically the same listed car except for 11.52 kWh versus 15.97 kWh. Choose the pack that matches how far you need that unchanged 28 hp / 86 Nm / 100 km/h Mini 3-doors RWD Electro to go between charges — and treat every other headline spec as equal or not measured.
