Shanghai (Gasgoo)- On April 15, London EV Company (LEVC), a subsidiary of Geely Holding, launched a fire new battery electric MPV, the L380.
The highlight of the L380 lies in its space layout. It measures 5,316mm in length, 1,998mm in width and 1,940mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3,185mm. With its wide body and boxy middle-to-rear section, the L380 maximizes space for both occupants and cargo, offering excellent view even in the third row.
Targeting business travel services, LEVC builds the new MPV on its Space Oriented Architecture (SOA), which prioritizes passengers' in-cabin experience. This architecture allows for a flat cabin floor, extending the cabin length to 3,974mm with a central aisle width of 200mm.
The passenger compartment incorporates a 1.9-meter-long integrated monorail slide track, allowing passengers to enjoy individual seats even in the third-row. In a six-seater layout, the third-row seats can also recline partially, enhancing comfort for long journeys.
The fourth row and trunk of the vehicle adopt a structure similar to that of the Toyota Sienna, with a recessed groove in the luggage area. When there are fourth-row seats, they can be folded down twice into the groove to create a flat surface. Without the fourth-row seats, the space can be used as a storage compartment or optionally fitted with a cover or storage bins.
With its business travel orientation, the L380 has a simple, sober design with a technological flair. It features a sleek horizontal LED front light. Design elements like large windows, an all-black roof, and flush door handles contribute to a clean and streamlined appearance. The roof houses a 2.18 square-meter skylight with intelligent dimming capabilities. The seats are upholstered in semi-aniline leather, and the headlining is made of genuine Italian-imported Alcantara.
Furthermore, the new MPV will also feature a more intelligent infotainment system, including a voice control system with humanoid personalities.
The LEVC L380 will be available in both two-wheel and four-wheel drive configurations. The two-wheel drive version offers a maximum output of 200 kW and a peak torque of 343 Nm, while the four-wheel drive version delivers a maximum output of 400 kW and a peak torque of 686 Nm.
The batteries utilize CATL's CTP (cell-to-pack) technology, offering capacity options of 116kWh and 140kWh. Using fast charging facility, the model's battery can be charged from 10% to 80% of its capacity in 30 minutes and provide 200km of range in 10 minutes.
