The second-row seats are equipped with independent small tables, and the seat cushions can be folded upwards. There are 33 storage spaces throughout the vehicle, the standard trunk capacity is 474L, expandable to a maximum of 1308L, complemented by a 91L sunken dedicated storage area. Under the hood, the Leapmotor A05 will be offered with two motor power options: 70 kW (94 hp) and 90 kW (121 hp). According to the CLTC standard, these versions provide driving ranges of 405km and 510km, respectively. High-end configurations will also offer the option of installing LiDAR. Editor’s comment In July, Leapmotor’s sales exceeded 100,000 units for the first time, making it the third-best-selling new energy brand in the Chinese market, trailing only BYD and Geely Galaxy. Unlike BYD and Geely, Leapmotor is a startup that was founded only ten years ago. The A10 contributed nearly 30% of Leapmotor’s July sales. From Leapmotor’s perspective, it seems that launching a “Xingyuan killer” alone isn’t enough, with the help of the even smaller A05 model, it intends to “kill off” all competitors in this segment (BYD Dolphin, Chery QQ3, etc.). Judging by its international name, B03, this car is likely intended to replace its highly successful predecessor, the T03. The interior of the Leapmotor A05. Most important news in your inbox.
