The Leapmotor B03 compact electric hatch has been launched in China and could be offered in Australia as a rival to cut-price electric vehicles (EVs) such as the Geely EX2, GAC Aion UT and BYD Dolphin. Order books for the B03 opened in China last week, but pricing and full specifications are yet to be announced. It's expected to be priced competitively against rivals, with the Geely EX2 and BYD Dolphin both starting from ¥69,800 ($14,740). Few other details have been released, but the B03 is expected to mirror the B03X's powertrain lineup. European-market versions produce higher outputs of 130kW/200Nm and 145kW/200Nm, which are more likely candidates for Australia should the B03 arrive here.
