Leapmotor to launch updated Lafa 5 electric hatchback at Guangzhou Auto Show

Leapmotor (HKEX: 9863) will launch the updated Lafa 5 at the Guangzhou Auto Show opening on November 27, upgrading its electrical architecture and cabin to strengthen the electric hatchback's competitiveness.

Auto Home reported on Wednesday that it learned of the launch schedule from Leapmotor. The compact battery-electric model will receive a model-year update, with both the standard and Ultra versions retaining their existing design language.

The updated Lafa 5 will adopt an 800 V high-voltage platform and add an augmented reality head-up display (AR-HUD), a 17.3-inch central touchscreen, zero-gravity seats and a 14-speaker audio system, according to the report.

The report said the model is expected to offer CLTC range options of 630 kilometers (391 miles), 640 kilometers and 660 kilometers.

For reference, the current Lafa 5 is available in 7 variants, with guide prices ranging from 97,800 yuan ($14,560) to 129,800 yuan.

Earlier regulatory filings had already pointed to a powertrain upgrade. Of the 3 Lafa 5 variants included in filings released by China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in August, 2 have motors with peak output of 185 kW (248 hp), while the other is rated at 180 kW.

All these variants use lithium iron phosphate batteries and offer optional LiDAR. The Ultra continues to distinguish itself from the standard version with a dedicated sporty body kit, including a front splitter, side skirts, a rear diffuser and a rear spoiler, along with a lower body height.

The Lafa 5 was officially launched in China on November 27, 2025.
