🎬 Watch the result — Leapmotor C16 (Pre-facelift) after firmware update

Model overview

Leapmotor C16 (Pre-facelift) is a mid-size 6/7-seat electric SUV, the 2023-2024 version before the facelift. Range 605-702 km, CATL LFP battery, up to 428 hp AWD. Runs Leap OS 3.0 with a 15.6" central screen. Mass-market family model, shipped to CIS via dealers since 2024.

Why localize this model

Pre-facelift C16 is still in active sale and on the used market. Firmware is simpler than Facelift 2026 (Leap OS 3.0 vs 4.0) but with the same functionality. Our localization translates Leap OS 3.0, installs CarPlay/Android Auto, integrates Google Maps, localizes rear-row controls, unlocks Leap Pilot ADAS.

Who this car is for

Ideal for families buying a used C16 at reduced price or a new pre-facelift version at discount. Technically the same — same battery, same architecture, but at a more affordable price. Localization makes pre-facelift C16 fully suitable for family use in UAE and CIS.
