Twingo, Spring, Pixo: one platform, three brands, the battle for the affordable electric city car

Leapmotor B03 and B03X: Two Electric Cousins Set to Break the Price Barrier Leapmotor is back on the offensive with two new fully electric models: the B03 and the B03X. Positioned as close cousins, these two compact cars share the same technical foundations while targeting slightly different audiences, all with one clear mission — to offer maximum value at an unbeatable price. Following the success of the T03 and C10, the Chinese manufacturer, now backed by Stellantis for its international expansion, continues to push its strategy of democratizing electric mobility. The B03 leans toward a more traditional hatchback silhouette, while the B03X adopts a more dynamic, crossover-inspired design with a slightly raised ride height and SUV-style styling cues. Both models are expected to be built on the same platform and share a similar range of electric motors, with battery options designed to deliver a solid driving range without inflating the sticker price. This is precisely where Leapmotor intends to make its mark: offering a compelling alternative to established rivals, at a price point that could seriously shake up the electric vehicle market segment. Further details regarding specifications, driving range, and pricing are expected in the coming months, as Leapmotor prepares to roll out the B03 and B03X across several international markets, including Europe.
