Leapmotor has launched the all-new B03, essentially the international version of the A05, with the brand recently restructuring its naming strategy. As a B-segment electric hatchback targeting global markets, the B03 will open bookings in China on August 10. Visually, it's essentially the B03X (known as A10X in China) without raised ride height and black plastic wheel arch claddings. Two powertrain variants are offered: the base model produces 95 PS (70 kW) with 405 km range, while the higher-end variant delivers 122 PS (90 kW) and 510 km, both on the CLTC cycle using 39.8 kWh and 53 kWh LFP batteries. The interior mirrors the B03X almost identically, featuring an 8.88-inch instrument display, 14.6-inch central touchscreen, pill-shaped air vents, a robot mascot, and a fold-flat front passenger seat. All but the base model get Level 2 driver assists, while top variants gain lidar and highly autonomous driving. Given the B03X is already confirmed for Malaysia, the B03 could reach overseas markets soon.
