Leapmotor has launched its first MPV model, the D99, in China, and it is so massive that the carmaker decided to bolt a foldable 34.3-inch table right into the second row. First unveiled in late 2025 during the company’s 10th anniversary, this MPV takes the crown as the manufacturer’s largest model, coming in slightly longer than the Leapmotor D19.
That translates to an imposing physical footprint measuring 5,280 mm long, 1,995 mm wide and 1,900 mm tall, riding on a wheelbase of 3,110 mm to accommodate its rolling lounge interior.
On the outside, the Leapmotor D99 adopts the carmaker’s design language, featuring chequered-flag daytime running lights, main headlights integrated into the front bumper, and a full-width taillight setup. The real party trick, however, lies in the headlights, which are capable of projecting images onto the road surface.
Like most MPVs from the Middle Kingdom these days, the Leapmotor D99 is packed with luxury amenities. Its interior is configured as a seven-seater in a 2+2+3 layout, featuring Nappa leather upholstery and individual captain chairs in the second row. These second-row seats come with the usual fare of creature comforts like one-touch zero-gravity mode, massage, heating and ventilation.
They can even swivel round to face the third row, where passengers can gather around the aforementioned 34.3-inch floating table, transforming the rear cabin into a mobile boardroom or a casual spot for a tea break.

Up front, the dashboard features a 10.25-inch digital gauge cluster paired with a 50-inch AR-HUD system and a 17.3-inch centre infotainment display. Rear occupants have access to a six-inch multi-function display and a ceiling-mounted 21.4-inch 3K display. Passengers can consume entertainment through an on-board 23-speaker 2,304W sound system.
The Leapmotor D99 is available with fully-electric (EV) and range-extender electric vehicle (REEV) powertrains. On the EV front, the D99 is powered by two traction motors for an all-wheel drive setup producing 557 hp (410 kW) and 625 Nm, enabling 0-100 km/h in 5.0 seconds flat.
Based on a 1000V architecture, it features a 115 kWh battery that enables a range of 700 km on the optimistic CLTC test cycle. While Leapmotor has not revealed detailed charging specifications, AC charging juices up the battery from 30-80% in 10 hours, whereas DC charging slashes the 30-80% recharge time to just 15 minutes.
The REEV variant swaps configurations for a 1.5-litre range extender engine paired with two traction motors on the front and rear axles. These produce a combined output of 408 hp (300 kW) and 525 Nm, enabling 0-100 km/h in 6.72 seconds.
Utilising an 800V architecture and an 80.3 kWh LFP battery, this variant delivers a pure EV range of 352 km and a combined driving range of 960 km, both measured on the WLTC cycle. Mirroring the EV variant, full charging details remain under wraps, but standard AC charging takes 7.7 hours for a 30-80% top-up, while a DC fast charger completes the 30-80% recharge in 15 minutes.
For safety systems, the Leapmotor D99 features a LiDAR sensor, two millimetre-wave radars, one forward millimetre-wave radar, 12 ultrasonic sensors, four blind-spot cameras, four surround-view cameras and two forward-facing cameras. This sensor suite enables everything from semi-autonomous parking and parking-space navigation to high-speed highway navigation and city navigation assist.
