The Leahead brand was previewed at the 2013 Shanghai Auto Show when Toyota launched this kinky yellow concept car, at the time without a name, previewing a hip electric car for hipsters. The first Leahead production car will debut on the 2015 Guangzhou Auto Show in November next year, likely based on the Toyota Yaris L that is manufactured in China by Guangzhou-Toyota. No word yet on price but an EV of that size won’t go for less than 150.000 yuan.

  1. Car dealers are plenty in number and all you need to do is find out the
    best car dealers in your city who will be able to
    help you in buying the best cars. The app
    appears to work identically in Android and i – OS (I used
    it both on my Samsung phone and my i – Pad Air) and it’s very
    straightforward. It could be more power or performance that you want, or it could
    simply be that you want nice heated leather seats.
