A tire blowout stabilization system is also present and can handle a maximum vehicle speed of 120 km/h.

Inside, the cockpit is paired with the Leapmotor OS 4.0 Plus operating system and sits on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155P or 8295P chip. Two screens are also present, including an 8.8-inch full LCD instrument panel and a 14.6-inch 2.5K central control screen.
