Leapmotor D19 flagship SUV: premium interior, giant screens, 1000V charging

Leapmotor continues to stoke interest in its upcoming flagship, the D19, and has shared more about the cabin. The emphasis is squarely on a premium feel: the company mentions chrome-free tanning for first-layer semi-aniline leather, up to 25 square meters of soft-touch materials, pearl-pattern perforation, V-shaped stitching, and more advanced edge-finishing techniques. In essence, the brand is out to prove that a large Chinese SUV can compete not just on spec sheets but also in the way its interior feels—an ambition that, on first read, sounds convincing.

The D19 is already open for “blind” reservations and is positioned as a full-size crossover—the largest in the marque’s lineup. Preliminary figures point to a length exceeding 5.2 meters, a width close to 2 meters, and a wheelbase of more than 3.1 meters. The paint palette covers five body colors: green, white, silver, gray, and black. On paper, that footprint hints at serious cabin space and road presence.

The tech story inside is all about screens: a 60-inch high-brightness, all-weather AR-HUD, a 10.25-inch instrument cluster, a 17.3-inch central display, a 6-inch rear control panel, and a motorized 21.4-inch 3K entertainment screen. Computing is handled by a pair of Qualcomm Snapdragon 8797 chips. It’s a screen-forward approach that aligns with current market tastes, and here it feels thoughtfully integrated rather than gratuitous.

Two powertrain routes are planned: a pure EV and an extended-range EV (EREV). The EREV is said to offer 500 km of electric driving, while the full EV will use a 115 kWh battery for up to 720 km of range. A key highlight is the 1,000-volt architecture: the company claims up to 350 km can be added in 15 minutes of charging, and peak system output reaches 540 kW. If these charging figures translate to the real world, long trips should feel markedly less stressful. Launch and first deliveries are expected in the first half of 2026.
