Many people may not know the LeDao brand. However, everyone is familiar with NIO. Its battery swapping technology and concept are popular. LeDao cars continue this battery swapping technology. They will also feature more tech configurations. This will provide a different driving experience. Next, we will test drive the LeDao L60 and see how it performs.
The Leidao L60 features a minimalist design. The front bumper has a fully enclosed shape. It includes a noticeable concave design in the center. This enhances the vehicle’s identification and adds depth to the front. The side air intakes appeal to young consumers’ aesthetics. The air intake sits below the front bumper, ensuring engine cooling needs are met.
The split headlight design features slender strips. The upper daytime running light takes an L shape. Its upward angle suggests youth and fashion. The lower light group emphasizes practicality. It wastes no space. Each position is well-designed. The streamlined shape showcases mature technology.
This is an SUV. It features a sleek, coupe-like design. The sides use rounded lines. This design makes the car look fuller and more powerful. The vehicle measures 4828 mm in length, 1930 mm in width, and 1616 mm in height. The wheelbase is 2950 mm.
The new car features hidden door handles. This design reduces drag. The car also has frameless side mirrors. This creative design enhances the driver’s field of view. It also minimizes turbulence around the mirrors. This approach achieves multiple benefits.
The newly designed five-spoke vortex wheel hub looks stylish and appealing. The black matte finish contrasts well with the surrounding silver. It pairs with 245/45 R20 tires. This combination ensures good vehicle mobility while maintaining passenger comfort and overall quietness.
The design of the rear window is innovative. It uses a visual misalignment concept. This hides the C-pillar. From the outside, it appears the C-pillar is absent. Only a large piece of glass is visible at the back. This design appeals to young users.
The rear design looks younger, more stylish, and sportier. The Ledo L60 is a pure electric SUV. It features a small ducktail at the rear. This design ensures good downforce at the back. It also reduces turbulent airflow’s impact on aerodynamics.
The new car lacks a continuous tail light design. However, the slim light clusters on each side stand out. They look great when lit. The center features the new logo and English branding from Leda.
The rear bumper features a dual-tone color scheme. The black paint creates a strong visual contrast. This makes the rear of the car appear fuller and sportier. Although there is no spoiler design, the rear reflective strip sits below. This placement looks harmonious and attractive.
The LeDao L60 features a city oasis cabin. The interior has no physical buttons. All functions are on the central 17.2-inch 3K screen. The car uses a gray and white color scheme. This design showcases cleanliness and luxury. The materials are high-quality. The interior has extensive soft padding. It uses skin-friendly materials. The cabin has no unpleasant odors.
The new car features a double flat-bottom steering wheel. It feels great in hand. The two-tone color makes the steering wheel look thicker. The design includes two rollers. These integrate many control functions. After some practice, we can master them easily. We can also customize the roller functions. Its practicality and tech feel are high.
The LeDao L60 combines trend, technology, and style. Its air vent design stands out. You won’t see the vents in the interior. However, when you turn on the air conditioning, you feel the temperature change. This effect comes from the hidden, continuous air vents. The air vents sit within the black lines on the dashboard. They allow airflow without blowing directly on your face. You can control the air direction, position, and intensity through the screen. This design focuses on user-friendliness.
The vehicle no longer has a traditional dashboard. All driving information appears on the 17.2-inch central touchscreen. We can easily see the speed, range, speed limit warnings, gear position, and overall energy consumption. Additionally, we can check the information on the HUD in front of us. It is very practical.
The L60 will feature the new NT.Coconut smart system. It is the first model to use the SkyOS full vehicle operating system. This technology offers advantages that ensure a three-year lead, five years of mainstream use, and ten years of reliability. This marks a significant shift from the smart era to the AI era. It is a long-lasting operating system that users can trust.
This system will feature a fully self-developed four-domain integrated central computing architecture. It combines intelligent driving, intelligent cabin, vehicle control, and vehicle connectivity. This integration allows for flexible computing power usage and higher efficiency. The fully self-developed 100% Ethernet backbone communication architecture meets the demands of big data and high-precision communication and control. The fully self-developed integrated regional control center can merge 26 controllers, significantly reducing the vehicle harness usage.
The 17.2-inch 3K central control screen will feature the high-performance Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295P chip. The overall processing speed has increased significantly. Voice interaction and touch operations run smoothly. The system responds in milliseconds and supports continuous multi-command control.
The vehicle offers rich features. It excels in comfort and space. The front seats provide electric adjustment, ventilation, heating, and massage functions. These features ensure a comfortable journey for both the driver and passengers.
The front passenger seat features a one-button reclining function. It can fold down and connect with the rear seats. This creates a comfortable bed. The front passenger seat also has an extendable leg rest. This leg rest includes a heating function, making it very practical in winter.
The rear seats offer high comfort. Despite being a coupe SUV, the headroom feels spacious. Legroom reaches about two fists. The middle seat features a softer design. Both the cushion and backrest provide comfort. Three adults can sit in the back without feeling cramped or uncomfortable.
The Leidao L60 offers two battery versions. It comes with both two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive. We test drove the four-wheel drive model. This model features a 900V high-voltage system. The official 0 to 100 km/h acceleration time is 4.6 seconds. The rear-wheel drive version has a range of 555 km. The four-wheel drive version has a range of 525 km.
The car offers 10 driving modes. The sport mode delivers the most aggressive power output. The acceleration feels very strong. Today, we focus on the eco mode. This mode increases the range by 80 km without reducing the air conditioning experience compared to comfort mode. This setting is truly reassuring.
The LeDao L60 will feature the Xingyun Shuxiang chassis. During our test drive today, we visited a specific testing site. The vehicle passed over consecutive speed bumps at speeds of 20, 30, and 40 km/h. Inside the car, we felt minimal vibrations. The suspension absorbed most of the shocks. We enjoyed a more comfortable ride.
When we drive on mountain roads, the suspension provides excellent support. We feel stable even when we take corners quickly. Importantly, with five adults in the car, we notice no significant changes during acceleration or deceleration. The suspension remains effective.
This car features a full-scene NOA navigation driving assistance system. It uses 30 high-performance sensing hardware units. This setup covers highways, city roads, and rural roads. As long as there is a road, the navigation assistance can be used. The key is that this technology delivers usability right away. It clearly stands out among competitors in the same price range.
After activating the navigation assist, it quickly identifies speed limits, lanes, and surrounding vehicles and pedestrians. It follows our planned route. When it encounters parked cars, it takes evasive actions promptly. More importantly, its 4D imaging millimeter-wave radar penetrates the vehicle in front. It can sense a range as large as nine football fields. Even in heavy fog, we can clearly see the road conditions and vehicles ahead through the navigation assist feature.
We came to experience the battery swap feature of the L60. We can search for nearby swap stations using the central screen. After arriving, we can place an order through the screen. It’s very convenient. The swap process takes about three minutes. It uses NIO’s fourth-generation swap station, so it’s quite common. We don’t need to operate anything. The vehicle completes everything automatically. This experience feels great.
The LeDao L60 charges quickly. The 60 kWh battery model takes just 25 minutes to charge from 10% to 80%. The 85 kWh model requires only 20 minutes. In terms of range, 10 minutes of charging adds 200 km. This performance is commendable. In summary, LeDao has not announced the L60’s price yet. However, based on our test drive, this car is highly competitive. It offers rich features and ample space. The power performance is excellent. It supports both charging and battery swapping, giving consumers more options. The LeDao L60 will officially launch on September 19. Let’s look forward to its final price.
