On April 24, 2026, Leapmotor officially unveiled the 2026 Lafa5 Ultra sports coupe at the Beijing Auto Show—a high-performance, pure-electric sports coupe designed specifically for young global consumers who seek both personal expression and driving pleasure. Rather than relying solely on an exaggerated accumulation of horsepower, it redefines the standard for "high-value sports EVs" through precise aerodynamic design, advanced intelligent driving capabilities (featuring LiDAR as a class-exclusive standard feature), and a flagship-level intelligent cockpit experience. With a starting price of ¥118,800, it leverages the efficiency of China's automotive supply chain to challenge the traditional premium pricing logic of conventional fuel-powered performance vehicles.
500 Ultra: ¥118,800
600 Ultra: ¥124,800
Exclusive Sports Kit: The vehicle is equipped with a full set of factory-installed aerodynamic components—including a wind-splitting front splitter, aero side skirts, a wind-guiding rear spoiler, and a rear diffuser. These elements optimize airflow and enhance high-speed stability without compromising the vehicle's overall proportions, resulting in a drag coefficient reduced to 0.27 Cd.
Visually Lowered Stance: The vehicle's height has been lowered by 10mm compared to the standard model, bringing it to 1,510mm. This, combined with 19-inch "Swept-Wing" gunmetal-grey alloy wheels and matte metallic dark-grey brake calipers, creates a low-slung, wide-body, and ground-hugging coupe stance.
Exclusive Color Palette: Making their global debut are three Ultra-exclusive body colors—"Thunder Yellow," "Star Green," and "Liquid Silver." These are paired with gunmetal-blackened badging throughout the vehicle (including logos, lettering, and wheel caps), ensuring high visual distinctiveness that appeals to young, urban demographics worldwide.
Craftsmanship Details: Frameless doors, flush-fitting side windows, and retractable door handles continue the modern pure-electric design language, striking a perfect balance between aesthetics and practicality.

Interaction System: Integrates a dual-AI voice model featuring *DeepSeek* and *Tongyi Qianwen*, enabling "See-and-Speak" functionality across all scenarios. It requires no wake-up words and is capable of understanding continuous commands and contextual semantics.
Screen Configuration: Features an 8.8-inch full-LCD instrument cluster paired with a 14.6-inch central control screen. Boasting high resolution and sensitive touch response, the interface features a clean, intuitive UI design that supports customizable function modules.
Comfort Features:
8-point PWM front-seat massage system (featuring a three-layer airbag structure with multi-mode adjustment support)
Front-seat ventilation + heating
Heated steering wheel
50W wireless charging pad
The cabin features 4.48㎡ of soft-touch upholstery coverage, utilizing extensive "Wind-Grey" faux-suede materials to create a premium tactile experience and a sophisticated interior ambiance.
Perception System: Standard configuration includes 1 LiDAR unit + 11 HD cameras + 5 millimeter-wave radars + 12 ultrasonic radars, enabling 360-degree environmental perception with zero blind spots.
Core Capabilities:
Urban NAP (Navigation-on-Pilot) Assist: Operates without the need for high-precision maps, capable of navigating complex intersections, unmarked roads, cut-ins, pedestrian crossings, and other real-world driving scenarios.
All-Scenario Automatic Parking: Supports vertical, parallel, and diagonal parking maneuvers; includes a Memory Parking function capable of learning and recalling frequently used parking spots.
Highway NOA (Navigation-on-Autopilot): Features automatic lane changes, overtaking, ramp merging, and speed limit recognition.
Sentry Mode: AI-powered detection identifies individuals or vehicles approaching the vehicle abnormally, automatically initiating video recording and pushing alerts directly to the user's mobile phone. Security Certification: The system complies with the ISO 26262 ASIL-B functional safety standard. Data is processed locally, adhering to GDPR and CCPA privacy regulations, thereby establishing a foundation for global compliance.
The 2026 Leapmotor Lafa5 Ultra does not chase after extreme acceleration figures; instead, through its precise dynamic design, class-exclusive LiDAR-enabled intelligent driving system, and flagship-level cabin experience, it precisely hits the mark regarding the core demands of young global users—a trinity of "individuality, intelligence, and practicality."
