  • Leapmotor International unveiled the all-new Leapmotor B03 at the 2026 Paris Motor Show, an all-electric compact urban hatchback launching in 36 European countries through a strategic partnership with Stellantis.

  • A 53 kWh lithium-iron-phosphate battery provides up to 390 kilometers of range. The hatchback's 2.5C fast-charging architecture allows the battery to juice up from 10% to 80% in just 21 minutes.
  • Inside, a 14.6-inch floating touchscreen anchors the dashboard while 30 intelligent storage compartments maximize flexibility. Class-leading 35-inch rear legroom and the waterproof LeapBox and LeapFlex rear-seat system enhance cabin versatility.
  • Production of the B03 is underway at the Stellantis Figueruelas plant in Zaragoza, Spain. While official pricing remains unconfirmed, the vehicle is expected to hit the United Kingdom market starting at $26,470.
