Ces 2026, Leapmotor unveils new platform developed with Qualcomm

Leapmotor chooses the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas for the debut of its dual Snapdragon 8797 platform dedicated to cars. The Chinese brand in the Stellantis orbit debuts the world's first centralised computing architecture for vehicles based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon Cockpit Premium Edition platforms, dedicated to managing in-dash controls and information, and Snapdragon Ride Premium Edition that governs driving dynamics.

Developed to reduce development costs and implementation and operational complexity, it integrates driver assistance, connectivity, vehicle control (lighting, temperature, doors/windows) and smart cockpit functions in a single system. Thanks to its dual-chipset configuration, it has all the necessary computing capacity and at the same time provides functions related to artificial intelligence.

In detail, the Snapdragon 8797 platform will be capable of handling up to 8 high-definition displays; 18-channel audio output for in-car entertainment; Ota updates, remote diagnostics and remote vehicle control; advanced driver assistance supporting up to 13 cameras, plus Lidar, radar and ultrasonic sensors; L2-level driver assistance with more than 30 advanced functions, including park-to-park; and more than 200 functions through its service-oriented architecture.
