Chinese startup Leapmotor is best known for cut-price small and mid-size models including the C10 medium SUV it launched here with last year, but it's planning to launch larger and more premium models.

It has released handful of teaser images of its upcoming flagship SUV, which is set to wear either the D16 or D19 nameplate when it's launched in the Chinese market during 2026.

Leapmotor's new range-topper is expected to offer three rows of seating, and will likely be offered as either an electric vehicle (EV) or an extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) – the brand has never offered any other powertrain type since it started producing its first vehicles in 2019.

The new SUV will be one of two or three models in Leapmotor's D series of vehicles, with another set to be a people mover.
