Stellantis has set its sights on the Leapmotor D99 as a candidate for the ideal family vehicle. This premium electric minivan measures 5.28 meters in length, with a wheelbase of 3.11 meters and a futuristic design. Its arrival on the European market would represent an opportunity for the company, as it combines a family-oriented approach with an aspirational character that positions it as a benchmark in the segment.
Interior with screens and space for seven passengers 🚐
The Leapmotor D99 bets on an interior with three rows of seats and a panoramic screen that spans the dashboard. Its electric platform allows for efficient space distribution, offering generous trunk capacity even with all seven seats occupied. The estimated range exceeds 500 kilometers, and fast charging reaches 200 kW. Stellantis is considering integrating its battery technology to adapt it to European standards.
You take it to IKEA and don't go home with the shelf unassembled 🛠️
At 5.28 meters long, the D99 is the dream of any large family and the nightmare of any underground parking lot. You can take the kids, the dog, and the mother-in-law, although she will probably complain about the legroom. Of course, if you park in the city, get your phone ready to take photos of the scratches: the sensors don't warn about columns that didn't exist in 1990.
