Performance and Driving Range

242 miles of WLTP electric range, powered by a 53kWh lithium iron phosphate battery.

The B03 has a front-mounted electric motor producing 145kW - 194hp - and 200Nm of torque.

It can reach a top speed of 101mph and has three different driving modes:

  • Comfort: gentle acceleration and soft steering.
  • Standard: balanced everyday driving.
  • Sport: more responsive acceleration and firmer steering.

Does the B03 offer the right balance of performance and range for commuters and drivers looking for an affordable everyday EV?

Uk pricing not yet confirmed.

Charging Capabilities and everyday EV Convenience

DC rapid charging at up to 133kW, allowing capabilities of: 

  • 10–80% charge in approximately 21 minutes.
  • 30–80% charge in approximately 16 minutes.

A full 0–100% charge using a 7.4kW AC charger takes around 7 hours 15 minutes.

Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) functionality provides a 230V output for powering larger devices.

Standard heat pump helps warm the cabin efficiently while limiting the impact on battery range.

Interior Space and Practicality

The B03's interior flexibility is portrayed as of the strongest points on the car. With 405 litres of boot space, 90-litre underfloor storage (the Leap Box), dual-level boot floor, driver seat recline availability and 30 storage spaces throughout the cabin.

This car looks like a hatchback on the outside, but on the inside it has the capabilities of a large SUV.

The B03 could appeal to buyers who need the footprint of a small hatchback but don't want to sacrifice the flexibility of a larger vehicle.
