Vehicle manufacturer LEVC has debuted new information and images of its L380 Multi-Purpose Vehicle (MPV), the first of a new range of smart, spacious, fully electric models.

L380’s inspirations come from the world of luxury airline travel with seating for up to eight and flexible first class-style chairs, clad in soft, delicate semi-aniline leather – which can be flipped down for sleeping – contrasted with Alcantara fabrics, bright chromes and crystals for the rest of the cabin, LEVC said.

The L380’s focus on the intersection between luxury and optimum space has been led by LEVC’s Global Chief Design Officer, Brett Boydell and his team, based at LEVC’s Design & Innovation Centre at its Ansty facility. Bringing together leading designers from many countries around the world, this diverse, international group has experience from multiple luxury car brands and is focused on the design of future SOA-based LEVC vehicles.

“Our exceptionally talented team is committed to developing innovations in automotive design across the themes of luxury and space optimization.” Boydell said. “The L380 MPV, the first of a new wave of pure electric LEVC products based on our SOA platform, truly breaks new ground, inspired by sectors such as luxury air travel and our international cultures, brought together by space-efficient and highly flexible cutting-edge technology, creating a high-level and luxurious atmosphere.”
