The Leapmotor A05 is a compact electric hatchback built for the budget end of China’s EV market, measuring 4,200 mm long and 1,800 mm wide on a 2,605 mm wheelbase. Leapmotor is already taking blind orders in China, with official pricing to follow.
Two front-wheel-drive powertrains are offered: a 95 hp motor paired with a 39.8 kWh battery for up to 405 km of CLTC range, and a 122 hp motor with a 53 kWh battery reaching up to 510 km CLTC. Higher trims add lidar as an option. A cosmetic A05S variant is also offered, with a pink roof, pink mirror housings and 17-inch “rose gold” wheels.
Inside, the A05 pairs an 8.88-inch digital instrument cluster with a 14.6-inch central touchscreen. Boot space is 474 litres, with an additional 91 litres of storage under the front hood.
Leapmotor is exporting a related model to Europe under the name B03, built through the Leapmotor International joint venture with Stellantis. The European car is more compact than the Chinese A05, at 4,175 mm long and 1,790 mm wide, though it shares the same 2,605 mm wheelbase. Leapmotor has not yet disclosed powertrain specifications for the B03.
