The Leapmotor D99 (Chinese: 零跑D99; pinyin: Língpǎo D99) is an upcoming battery electric and range-extended full-size luxury minivan to be produced by Leapmotor.
Overview
The D99 is Leapmotor's second vehicle in its D-series range of models. It was revealed at the brand's 10th anniversary event that was held in Hangzhou on December 28, 2025. Leapmotor also confirmed at the event that the D99 would be the brand's flagship model. At the same event the details of the D19's interior were also revealed.[1]
Spyshots of a D99 prototype alongside a D19 prototype undergoing testing were shared by the company's COO, Xu Jun, on August 7, 2025. The same post also stated that both the D19 and D99 would be positioned as the brand's flagships.[2]
Design
The D99’s front shares design language with the D19, using three-segment daytime running lights and split headlamps. The front bumper uses active air intake grilles. The D99 has a dynamic, streamlined profile with an angled A-pillar incorporating triangular windows that integrate with the roof. The exterior features a two-tone design with a laser radar system mounted on the roof. It has a short overhang but a long rear overhang and uses concealed door rails for the rear sliding doors.[1]
Features
The D99 uses two Qualcomm Snapdragon 8797 chips to power its smart driving system, with the two chips able to make a combined 1280 TOPS of computing power and can also support VLA large language models.[3]
A full-width light bar is present at the back of the D99. It uses 8,260 LED units. The D99 also uses 19-inch wheels, dual-chamber air suspension, and variable damping shock absorbers.[4]
Powertrain
The power outputs of the D99 are yet to be revealed. What is known is that both versions will use CATL batteries, with the EV version using a 1000-volt architecture and a 115 kWh Freevoy LFP/NMC battery and the EREV version will use an 800-volt architecture and an 80.3 kWh CATL LFP battery.[3] Leapmotor claims the EREV version will have a range of around 500 km (310 mi), while the EV will get around 720 km (450 mi).[5]
The overall powertrain options of the D99 are expected to mirror that of the D19.[1]
