Leapmotor T03 Complete Guide: Review, Specs & Price 2026

At €18,900 the Leapmotor T03 is Europe’s cheapest EV—and I was surprised how much you get for it. ADAS, a usable 265 km WLTP range, and a cabin that doesn’t feel stripped. The catch: real-world range in winter on the motorway can drop toward 160 km, so it’s best for city and suburbs. Launched in October 2024 with Stellantis backing, the T03 has proper dealer support. This guide covers specs, pricing, and what to expect. For the brand overview, see our Leapmotor Europe guide; for budget options, the cheapest Chinese EVs and how to buy Chinese EV.

The Leapmotor T03 stands out as Leapmotor Europe’s most affordable electric car, with pricing starting from €18,900. Despite its budget positioning, the T03 offers full ADAS features typically found in more expensive vehicles, making it an exceptional value proposition for European consumers.

Stellantis Partnership Benefits

The T03 benefits from Leapmotor’s partnership with Stellantis, providing access to 600+ sales and service points across Europe and local production in Poland from Q4 2024.

Complete Leapmotor T03 Specifications

The Leapmotor T03 is offered in a single Standard variant. It uses a 37.3 kWh (36.0 kWh useable) LFP battery for 265 km WLTP, with a 70 kW (95 hp) front motor and 158 Nm torque. Acceleration to 100 km/h takes 12.7 seconds and top speed is 130 km/h. Pricing runs from €18,900 in Germany and France to €19,950 in the Netherlands, with the UK at £15,995.

Leapmotor T03 Pricing

Prices vary by country: Germany and France list the Standard at €18,900, the UK at £15,995, and the Netherlands at €19,950. Across Europe the T03 sits in the €18,900–€19,950 band, keeping it among the continent’s lowest-priced electric cars.

Performance and Driving Dynamics

The T03 delivers 70 kW (95 hp) and 158 Nm, with 0–100 km/h in 12.7 seconds and a 130 km/h top speed. Performance is adequate for urban and suburban use and daily commuting, without aiming for sporty driving.

Battery and Range

The car uses a 37.3 kWh (36.0 kWh useable) LFP pack. WLTP range is 265 km; in practice, combined conditions often yield around 115–160 km, with better results in town and lower range on cold motorway runs.

Charging Capabilities

DC fast charging is capped at 48 kW (CCS2), with 30–80% in about 36–53 minutes. AC charging is 6.6 kW via Type 2. That’s sufficient for most use cases but slower than 150+ kW premium EVs.

Interior and Technology

The cabin is built around a 10.1-inch central touchscreen and an 8.1-inch digital instrument cluster. Connectivity includes OTA updates, Bluetooth, 4G, WiFi hotspot, voice control, satellite navigation, and a smartphone app with digital key; Apple CarPlay and Android Auto may follow via OTA. Standard equipment includes a panoramic sunroof with powered blind, full ADAS, six airbags, electronic handbrake, 15-inch alloys, column-mounted transmission selector, high-strength steel body (68% of structure), and a structural battery pack.

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)

Despite its budget price, the T03 comes with a full ADAS suite. Standard systems include adaptive cruise control, lane keeping and lane departure warning, automatic emergency braking for cars, pedestrians and cyclists, blind spot monitoring, speed assistance, driver attention and drowsiness monitoring, rear-view camera and rear parking sensors, and intelligent speed assistance. Having this level of assistance at this price is rare.

Safety Features

The T03 is equipped with six airbags and the same ADAS functions (AEB, lane assist, speed assistance, driver monitoring, blind spot, rear camera and sensors), plus seat belt reminders, electronic stability and traction control, and a high-strength steel body with the battery as a structural component. Euro NCAP rating for the European market is still pending.

Dimensions and Practicality

The T03 is 3,620 mm long, 1,652 mm wide and 1,577 mm tall on a 2,400 mm wheelbase, with curb weight of 1,175 kg. Boot space is 210 L with the rear seats up and 880 L with them folded. Interior space feels closer to B-segment than A-segment. The car is a four-seater with a single ISOFIX point in the rear.

Unique Features

The T03 stands out as one of Europe’s most affordable EVs from €18,900, with a complete ADAS suite and a panoramic sunroof as standard. The battery is a structural component and the body uses a high proportion of high-strength steel; OTA updates keep software current. It is sold through the Stellantis dealer network (600+ points) and from Q4 2024 is manufactured in Poland, avoiding EU tariffs.
