The Leapmotor B05<\/a> is about to enter an increasingly crowded small electric hatch segment in Australia.<\/p>\n

Arriving in August, the rear-wheel drive B05 small car will take on rivals such as the BYD Dolphin<\/a> and MG 4<\/a>, with a choice of two trim levels and two batteries.<\/p>\n

Leapmotor claims a 50:50 weight distribution, and says chassis tuning was conducted in Italy with its partner Stellantis, which owns brands such as Alfa Romeo and Maserati.<\/p>\n
