Leapmotor Unveils B03 and D19 at Paris 2026, Confirms B10 Production in Spain
Leapmotor International unveiled its all-new B03 electric hatchback at the Paris Motor Show 2026, offering a WLTP range of 390 km and 10-80% fast charging in just 21 minutes. The company also showcased the D19 flagship SUV and confirmed the official start of B10 production in Spain. The move comes two years after the brand's European debut and reflects an aggressive expansion strategy built on a growing portfolio and an expanding retail network.
The Leapmotor B03 makes its European debut at the Paris Motor Show 2026 with a WLTP range of 390 km and 10-80% fast charging in just 21 minutes. That figure alone puts the compact hatchback squarely in the middle of Europe's EV fight. The Chinese brand also showcased its flagship SUV, the D19. Confirmed the start of B10 production in Spain — its largest European push to date.
B03: A Compact EV With Serious Specs
The B03 sits on Leapmotor's latest dedicated compact EV platform, delivering 145 kW of electric drive. Its battery supports 2.5C fast charging, which cuts the 10-80% top-up to just 21 minutes. Interior space is generous for the class, with 888 mm of rear legroom and a versatile cargo area. Plenty of practical touches here — clearly engineered for fast-paced urban lifestyles.
Leap OS 4.0 Plus: Inside the Cabin
A 14.6-inch floating touchscreen anchors the B03's user experience. An 8.8-inch digital instrument cluster pairs with it, both running the latest Leap OS 4.0 Plus software. Practical solutions include the water-resistant Leap Box storage unit, the foldable LeapFlex rear seating system. Over 30 smart storage compartments scattered throughout the cabin. It feels like a car built for young families who need every extra inch of usable space on daily runs.
Leapmotor's European Strategy Accelerates
Just two years after its first European appearance in Paris, Leapmotor is showing its widest model lineup on the continent yet. Confirming B10 production in Spain is the strategy's centerpiece — localizing manufacturing cuts costs and speeds up delivery. The retail network is expanding quickly, and the growing portfolio gives the brand presence across multiple segments. It's a clear signal of ambition to take on legacy European makers on their home turf.
D19 Completes the Performance Picture
Showing the D19 flagship SUV alongside the B03 reveals Leapmotor's intent to build a full electric fleet in Europe, not just budget compacts. Competition in the electric SUV segment is fierce between Chinese and European brands alike, and the D19 will enter that fight with design and tech credentials aimed squarely at European buyers.
