Leahead

Main article: Leahead

Leahead (Chinese: 领志; pinyin: Lǐngzhì) is an electric car marque owned by GAC Toyota. It was announced in October 2014. 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 an autonomy range of about 128 kilometres (80 mi). It has a 22 kWh battery and the motor delivers up to 70 kilowatts (95 hp). Leahead is a portmanteau of Leap Ahead.

Recalls

In 2018, Leahead i1s were recalled for replacing their defective Takata airbags.
