Could This Be the Leapmotor C18? New Leapmotor SUV Spy Shots Surface, Bigger Than the C16 With a Stretched Third Row
Recently, we obtained a set of spy shots for a new SUV from Leapmotor, which appears significantly larger than the Leapmotor C16. The main lengthening is concentrated in the rear section, aiming to improve space for the third row.
Notably, there had been rumors that Leapmotor would unveil a C18 model, which would be approximately 5 meters in length, filling the gap between the C16 and D19.

Spy shots of Leapmotor's new SUV Leapmotor C16 Here are the spy shots. The vehicle is still covered in thick camouflage, and it is expected to continue with the family-style design of the Leapmotor C series, similar to the Leapmotor C16. The lengthening areas are mainly between the C pillars and D pillars, indicating that the third-row passengers' space will be improved.
In addition, we can see that the new vehicle will adopt a semi-hidden door handle design.
Spy shots of Leapmotor's new SUV Leapmotor C16 In terms of interior design, the front seats, whether with dual-spoke steering wheels, small-diameter digital instruments, or central console designs, are basically the same as the current Leapmotor C16, suggesting that the vehicle is likely to belong to the C series. However, whether it will be named C16 Plus or C18 remains to be announced by the official.
The vehicle will continue to use a hybrid powertrain with a rear-mounted motor, and the rear suspension will be the same as the Leapmotor C16, which will be a multi-link independent rear suspension. However, the test vehicle does not have aluminum lower arms, and there is no air suspension. Therefore, we need to wait for the final production vehicle.
For more information about the new vehicle, we will continue to report.
