Chinese electric vehicle maker Leapmotor has released interior images of its flagship D19 sport utility vehicle, extending its marketing campaign roughly two months after the model’s debut and ahead of its expected market launch in the first half of 2026.
Images shared on Weibo show that the D19’s front cabin design closely follows Leapmotor’s recent models, featuring a horizontally mounted 17.3-inch central touchscreen and a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster. For rear passengers, the six-seat SUV is equipped with a ceiling-mounted 21.4-inch 3K entertainment display.
The second row is configured with two zero-gravity seats that recline up to 120 degrees and include four-way leg rests, underscoring Leapmotor’s focus on passenger comfort in the large-SUV segment. The vehicle also incorporates an 8.1-litre onboard refrigerator, capable of storing up to nine 380-ml bottles, with temperature settings ranging from minus 6 degrees Celsius to 50 degrees Celsius.
Leapmotor unveiled the D19 on Oct. 16 as the first model under its new D series. Like most of the company’s lineup, the vehicle will be offered in both battery-electric (BEV) and extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) variants.
The BEV version is equipped with a 115-kWh battery pack, delivering a claimed driving range of up to 720 kilometres. Built on a 1,000-volt high-voltage platform, the BEV powertrain produces up to 540 kW and accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in under four seconds.
The EREV variant features an 80.3-kWh battery pack, which Leapmotor describes as the largest used in an extended-range vehicle in China, providing up to 500 kilometres of electric-only range. It supports 800-volt fast charging and uses hybrid batteries supplied by CATL, combining lithium iron phosphate and ternary lithium chemistries within a single cell. The EREV powertrain delivers 400 kW and reaches 100 km/h in under five seconds.
Competition in China’s extended-range segment has intensified this year, with automakers focusing on larger battery packs and longer electric ranges. Rivals including Xpeng, IM Motors and GAC Group’s Hyptec brand have introduced new EREV models offering ranges approaching those of fully electric vehicles.
