Arriving on Irish forecourts this month, the new Leapmotor B05 is positioned to become one of the best-value electric hatchbacks on the market.
Priced from €28,998 for the ‘Style’ version (inclusive of SEAI grant and VRT rebate ), the B05 features a 56.2 kWh battery with a claimed range of up to 401km. The ‘Design’ spec starts from €32,984 and gets a 67.1 kWh battery with a claimed range of up to 485 km.

Design adds eco-leather upholstery, ambient lighting, heated front seats, and a dedicated Launch Control mode.
Inside, the B05’s interior is anchored by a dual-screen cockpit featuring a 14.6-inch floating infotainment display and an 8.8-inch digital cluster.
With a high-efficiency electric motor, the B05 delivers 218 hp and 240 Nm of torque, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.7 seconds.
The integrated Leapmotor App enables full remote access to key vehicle functions, including climate control, charging scheduling, vehicle status monitoring, and digital key functionality, ensuring a fully connected and intuitive user experience.
