Japanese Teardown Team Completes Full Disassembly of Leapmotor Lafa5

On November 9, a Japanese teardown team recently purchased the overseas version of Leapmotor's B05 (known domestically as the Lafa5) for a comprehensive teardown, covering modules including the powertrain, CTC chassis, thermal management system, intelligent driving hardware, and body structure. In terms of the CTC chassis integrated design, the vehicle uses the body floor as the battery upper cover, with cells integrated inside the chassis, eliminating the need for a battery upper shell. For the power unit, the vehicle is equipped with a six-in-one rear permanent magnet motor, with an assembly weight of 75 kg, maximum output power of 160 kW, and peak torque of 240 Nm; the rotor core adopts a segmented laminated structure. The thermal management system features an integrated five-way valve, with a single coolant circuit serving the temperature control needs of the battery, motor, electronic control unit, and cabin. For intelligent driving hardware, the vehicle is equipped with 1 lidar, 3 millimeter-wave radars, 11 cameras, and 12 ultrasonic sensors, supporting L2++ level assisted driving and enabling urban NOA. The onboard computing platform adopts a self-developed dual-SoC single-board solution, with a single substrate integrating two Qualcomm chips for the cabin and intelligent driving respectively. In terms of body assembly, the doors are secured by 3 inner bolts, and disconnecting 1 set of wiring harness connectors allows the door to be removed. The Leapmotor Lafa5 has a self-research and self-production rate of approximately 60% for core components, with components such as the electronic control unit and electric drive self-developed. The vehicle's starting price in the European market is 26,900 euros.
