Leapmotor B03 electric hatchback unveiled for Europe with sub‑€25,000 price
Leapmotor introduced the compact A05 electric hatchback in China and assigned it the export name B03 for markets outside China. The model measures 4.175 m long, 1.790 m wide, 1.560 m high with a 2.605 m wheelbase. It is offered with two powertrains – 95 hp paired with a 40 kWh battery and 123 hp paired with a 53 kWh battery – and the company claims up to 510 km WLTC range, though realistic mixed‑cycle estimates are around 415 km. Pricing is expected below €25,000 in Europe, while the entry price in China is projected at about €6,500. Stellantis acts as the international distribution partner and may assemble the B03 in European plants to avoid EU tariffs. An optional LiDAR sensor can be fitted on the roof to support assisted parking and highway‑assist functions. Inside, an 8.9‑inch digital instrument cluster and a 14.6‑inch infotainment screen powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor are standard.
