Leahead
Leahead (Chinese: 领志; pinyin: Lǐngzhì) is an electric car marque owned by GAC Toyota. It was announced in October 2014.[4] A concept of the first production car for the marque, the Leahead i1, was unveiled at the 2015 Shanghai Motor Show and the production-ready version was unveiled at the Guangzhou Auto Show later that year. The i1 is based on the Yaris and has a autonomy range of about 128 kilometres (80 mi).[5] It has a 22 kWh battery and the motor delivers up to 70 kilowatts (95 hp).[6] Leahead is a portmanteau of Leap Ahead.[7]
Recalls
In 2018, Leahead i1s were recalled for replacing their defective Takata airbags.[8]
