Overview
- Spanish outlet Diario Sur reported that the Leapmotor B05 will be assembled in Stellantis’s Zaragoza plant and described first impressions from a Frankfurt test drive, but those manufacturing and availability claims come from a single source and remain unconfirmed.
- The article presents the top Design ProMax version with a 67.1 kWh battery and a tested range of about 482 kilometres, while other coverage cites up to roughly 500 km as a claimed figure for the model.
- Technical claims in the report include more than 200 horsepower, rear‑wheel drive with a 50/50 weight balance for sporty handling, and DC fast charging capability up to 168 kW.
- Diario Sur also published a headline price claim of under €25,000 with no financing required, which if true would position the B05 as a notably low-cost option in the C‑segment electric hatchback market.
- If validated by Leapmotor or Stellantis, local assembly and aggressive pricing could shift buyer interest back to compact hatchbacks and put pressure on European manufacturers; readers should watch for official statements to confirm production, specifications, and pricing.
