History
A prototype of the S01 was shown at the Guangzhou Auto Show in 2017. At that time, the company had raised 380 million in capital, and construction of the factory had started. The S01 is the brand's first vehicle. The first deliveries occurred in June 2019.
Overview
The car is a coupe with 2+2 seating. The top version, powered by an electric motor producing 168 hp (125 kW; 170 PS) and 250 N⋅m (184 lb⋅ft), can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 6.9 seconds. The motor is a permanent magnet synchronous motor. The vehicle combines small height and small width (hence the small frontal area) with an aerodynamic side profile and a relatively low mass for an EV (the manufacturer does not specify it on its website, but one previous announcement indicated a mass of only 1240 kg). The car features level 2 autonomous driving (called "Leap Pilot"), with a possibility of enabling level 3 autonomous driving in the future through over-the-air updates. As of March 2020, two battery options - 35.6 kWh and 48 kWh - are available. Typically for Chinese cars, the range is given only according to the overly optimistic NEDC methodology, no longer in use in Europe. However, with a 48 kWh battery and given the car's small dimensions, the EPA range can be reasonably estimated at not less than 190 miles (310 km).
