At the recent Brussels Motor Show, Leapmotor outlined its ambitious European growth strategy for 2026, highlighting its commitment to delivering accessible, high-quality electric vehicles. Central to this next phase of international expansion is the introduction of three key models that will play a major role in the brand’s future line-up: the B03X, the B05 and the new B10 Hybrid EV. Making its European debut, the B03X is a compact SUV that builds on the strengths of the B10, reimagined in a more agile and city-focused package. It is the first Leapmotor model developed on an all-new global platform, engineered to meet international standards while prioritising everyday usability and efficiency.
The B05 brings a more dynamic and style-led approach to the range. This sleek coupé combines engaging performance with advanced technology and refined comfort, offering a distinctive design aimed at drivers who value individuality. Power comes from a 67.1 kWh battery, delivering a driving range of up to 460 kilometres on the WLTP cycle. Completing the trio is the B10 Hybrid EV, a new variant of the B10 that introduces range-extender technology. By pairing an 18.8 kWh battery with a 1.5-litre petrol generator, the B10 Hybrid EV offers long-distance capability with a combined WLTP range of up to 900 kilometres, addressing the needs of drivers who require added flexibility for longer journeys.
Leapmotor, the newest electric vehicle brand to arrive on Irish roads, continues to embrace its philosophy of “Value Without Compromise”. The brand focuses on combining premium technology, high levels of standard equipment and strong value, making electric mobility more accessible to Irish drivers.
