Leapmotor B03X Heading to Australia With 382km WLTP Range

The Leapmotor B03X is an all-electric, compact sport utility vehicle (SUV) manufactured by Chinese new-energy vehicle producer Leapmotor. Designed to serve urban motorists seeking entry-level electric mobility, the B03X targets budget-conscious EV buyers with battery capacities of up to 53kWh and driving ranges up to 382km WLTP. Built on a 2,605mm wheelbase, it addresses high urban density and tight parking constraints common in metropolitan centres such as Kuala Lumpur. While confirmed for an Australian showroom launch in November 2026, the right-hand-drive B03X aligns with Malaysian passenger vehicle requirements, operating natively on standard 240V power infrastructure and compatible with domestic Type 2 AC and CCS2 DC charging networks nationwide.
