European drivers need performance that adapts to changing conditions. With a long-range 81.4-kWh battery pack, the EV5 offers up to 530 kilometres of all-electric range (AER) (WLTP estimated).

In June 2025, Leapmotor delivered 48.006 vehicles, marking a 138% year-over-year increase and setting a new monthly record. This performance achieved a six-month streak of continuous growth, with monthly deliveries rising from 25.170 units in January to 48.006 units in June - an impressive 91% increase over the half-year period.
The Leapmotor T03 made history by achieving an EcoC 1 index of 109.43%, meaning its real-life driving range exceeded the official WLTP range - a first in the history of the ECOBEST Challenge. The T03 covered an impressive 290 km, surpassing its WLTP-rated 265 km range.
The absolute highlight is the excellent performance of DACIA Spring, which boasts a stunning 8.17 km/kwh, an all-time record for our proprietary index EcoC 2. It was closely followed by Leapmotor T03 with 8.06 km/ kWh. Another tested model managed to cover more than 7 km/kWh.
Three cars above 7 km/kWh, this is another first. Just two years ago, we were reporting the fact that six cars out of 14 could cover more than 6 km/kWh, now it has become the norm: in 2025 only two out of 15 do not get there!
