Flagship Design: Tech-Nature Aesthetics 2.0 Creates a Youthful MPV Without the Traditional Executive-Van Feel

To meet the evolving design preferences of consumers born in the 1980s and 1990s, the Leapmotor D99 adopts the “Tech-Nature Aesthetics 2.0" design philosophy.

Inspired by the aerodynamic profile of Gulfstream business jets, the exterior combines a commanding presence with sophisticated detailing. It is equally suitable for professional business occasions and family use, while reflecting the aesthetic preferences of a younger generation.

The Leapmotor OS interaction system has received seven major international design awards. It supports independent voice recognition across six audio zones, mixed use of 13 Chinese dialects and wake-word-free vehicle controls for the driver.

Passengers seated in different areas of the cabin can issue commands simultaneously without interfering with one another.

The system also supports functions such as ordering coffee by voice, paying parking fees and completing seamless voice-authorized payments, transforming the vehicle into an AI family assistant that understands its users.

For intelligent driving, the D99 employs a VLA, or vision-language-action, foundation model to provide full-scenario navigation-assisted driving.

Working with 28 high-precision perception devices, including LiDAR, the system supports 44 active driving functions and provides end-to-end navigation assistance from one parking space to another. It covers parking-garage navigation, access-gate passage, urban roads, highway navigation and automated parking at the destination.

The system also features defensive-driving capabilities. It can identify risks such as abnormal deceleration by surrounding vehicles, vehicles merging from blind spots, narrow roads at night and construction obstacles in advance, automatically adjusting speed and reserving additional safety space.

Additional functions include 120-meter route-tracing reverse assistance, all-angle automated parking, smartphone remote parking and multi-level memory parking, significantly reducing the driver’s workload.

All versions are equipped as standard with blue driver-assistance indicator lights, clearly communicating the vehicle’s operating status to other road users and improving safety during human-machine cooperative driving.

Flagship Driving Quality: In-House-Developed Chassis and Magic-Carpet Air Suspension Make the D99 as Enjoyable to Drive as It Is Comfortable to Ride In

Based on the philosophy that “true luxury requires all-wheel drive," the Leapmotor D99’s chassis has been meticulously tuned by professional engineering teams in China and Europe.

All versions are equipped with all-wheel drive as standard, along with a front double-wishbone and rear five-link independent suspension system.
