Say hello to the Leapmotor B05, which has just made its first public appearance, having debuted at the 2025 Munich Motor Show. This five-door hatchback isn’t an SUV, offering a smart, sleek alternative that’s set to arrive in the UK in June 2026.
The standout feature? Price. Expected to land under £30,000, the B05 positions itself as a strong contender against the VW ID.3 and MG4, likely undercutting both on cost. It’s also pitched as a direct rival to ICE models like the Golf.
Design highlights include slim LED headlights, frameless doors with flush handles, and a striking full-width light bar at the rear. Its low, sporty roofline gives it a dynamic edge reminiscent of models from brands like Cupra, making it more than just a family hatch.
