Leahead (LEE-ə-HED) was an electric car sub brand by GAC Toyota, a joint venture between GAC Group and Toyota Motor Coporation, founded in 2015.
History
The Leahead brand was first previewed in 2013 at the Shanghai Motor Show by a subcompact crossover SUV concept and was officially announced in October 2014.[1] A concept of the first production car for the marque, the Leahead i1, was unveiled at the 2015 Shanghai Motor Show. The production-ready version was unveiled at the Guangzhou Auto Show later that year.
The name Leahead is a portmanteau of the words Leap Ahead.[2]
Products

The i1 was an electric supermini hatchback based on the 5-door second generation Toyota Vitz and had a range of about 128 kilometres (80 mi).[3] It has a 22 kWh battery and the motor delivers up to 70 kilowatts (95 hp).[4]
The i1 was sold for the 2015-2016 model years.[5]
In 2018, Leahead i1s were recalled for replacing their defective Takata airbags.[6]

The iA5 was an electric compact sedan based on GAC New Energy's Aion S, with a redesigned front and rear different from the Aion S.[7][8]

The iX4 was an electric compact crossover SUV based on the facelifted electric Trumpchi GS4 and was revealed at the 2018 Chengdu Motor Show.[9] It was also sold as the Mitsubishi Eupheme Qizhi, Honda Everus Shirui, and Fiat Yuejie, though the iX4 was a pure EV while the others were plug-in hybrid electric vehicles.
