Leapmotor continues to accelerate its international expansion and has just taken an important step with the official launch of the new B05 in Europe. This model marks the entry of the Chinese brand into a more emotional and dynamic territory, betting on a combination of sporty design, advanced technology, and competitive range.
A new chapter for the brand in Europe
The Leapmotor B05 is the brand’s first model with a clear sporty orientation, reinforcing Leapmotor’s ambition to capture a younger and more demanding audience.
Orders start at a price of €26,900, positioning the model as a competitive proposal against European competition.
Coupé design with a strong presence
Visually, the B05 stands out with proportions inspired by coupés, featuring a wide and athletic stance.
Among the main design elements:
- frameless doors
- blade-shaped LED headlights
- continuous luminous rear bar
- 19-inch aerodynamic wheels
The aerodynamics have been carefully designed, with solutions such as an active grille and side deflectors, resulting in a coefficient of just 0.26.
Balanced performance with rear-wheel drive
The B05 features a rear-wheel drive architecture, which is quite uncommon in the segment, offering a more engaging driving experience.
Main specifications:
- power of 218 hp (160 kW)
- torque of 240 Nm
- 0-100 km/h in 6.7 seconds
The 50:50 weight distribution and joint development with specialists from Stellantis enhance the dynamic balance.
Solid range and fast charging
The model is available with two batteries:
- 56.2 kWh → up to 401 km WLTP
- 67.1 kWh → up to 482 km WLTP
The Cell-to-Chassis (CTC) technology improves structural efficiency and interior space.
When charging, the B05 supports up to 174 kW in direct current, allowing it to go from 30% to 80% in about 17 minutes.
Advanced safety and assistance
Safety is one of the pillars of the model:
- structure with high torsional rigidity (34,500 Nm/°)
- 7 airbags, including a central one
- 21 ADAS systems
- level 2 driving assistance
The brand aims for a maximum Euro NCAP rating.
Technological and minimalist interior
Inside, the B05 focuses on a clean and digital approach:
- central screen of 14.6 inches (2.5K)
- digital panel of 8.8 inches
- premium materials and eco-leather
The heated seats and careful ergonomics enhance daily comfort.
Above-average space
Despite its sporty design, the B05 maintains good habitability:
- reclining rear seats (27º)
- up to 1,400 liters of trunk space
- 25 storage compartments
The panoramic roof contributes to a feeling of space and brightness.
Total connectivity with Leap OS
The Leap OS 4.0 Plus system offers a complete digital experience:
- remote control via app
- digital key
- management of charging and climate control
- real-time monitoring
Two simple and clear versions
The range is organized into two versions:
- LIFE – with two battery options
- DESIGN – top of the range with larger battery and more equipment
An electric vehicle with its own identity
The B05 is not just another electric vehicle. It is a clear attempt to combine efficiency with emotion, positioning itself as an alternative for those who want more than rational mobility.
Leapmotor wants more than volume
With this model, the brand reinforces its global strategy: to offer advanced technology at competitive prices, without giving up on design and driving pleasure.
