The Leapmotor A05 (Chinese: 零跑A05; pinyin: Língpǎo A05) is a battery electric subcompact hatchback produced by Leapmotor.
Overview
In April of 2025 during the Shanghai Auto Show, Leapmotor's CEO, Zhu Jiangming, revealed that two small SUVs would be launched by the company named the A10 and A05, the first of which was revealed in 2025 and will also be sold in Europe as the Leapmotor B03X. The A05 is the second of the two A-series models.[1] Leapmotor's Global Quality Director, Ding Yongfei, also stated that on December 19, 2025, that the A05, alongside the B10, A10, and the Leapmotor B05 would be produced at the Figueruelas factory Spain from 2027.[2] On March 13, 2026, the first photos of the A05 were showcased by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.[3] The A05 debuted on 20 July 2026.[4]
Design
The design language of the A05 is similar to that of the A10, however it has minor details that are exclusive to the A05. Two-tone paint will be optional and there are multiple different designs for the rims.[3]
Features
Optional features on the A05 include a LiDAR sensor and a front binocular camera.[5] The LiDAR sensors were previously reserved for the premium Leapmotor models.[6] Symmetrical left and right rearview mirror cameras will also be offered, as will be a front bumper camera.[3]
Powertrain
The motor used by the A05 is a TZ180QY057 permanent-magnet synchronous motor that can proudce between 94 horsepower (70 kW; 95 PS) and 121 hp (90 kW; 123 PS). The battery used is a lithium iron phosphate battery expected to be supplied by either Leapmotor's own Leap Energy subsidiary, Gotion, or Zenergy. The size of the battery pack is yet to be revealed.[3][7]
