Chinese EV maker Leapmotor is gearing up for a big showing at the Brussels Motor Show 2026, which will take place from 9 to 18 January 2026 at Brussels Expo. The 102nd edition of this auto industry event will see hundreds of exhibitors and visitors converge on the Belgian capital to explore the latest innovations in mobility. Leapmotor will use the show to premiere its next‑generation B03X electric crossover, fully reveal the B05 hatchback’s interior and launch the B10 Hybrid EV with range‑extender technology, all underlining the brand’s growing ambitions for the European market.
B03X: European Premiere of an Electric Urban Crossover
One of the highlights at the Brussels Motor Show will be the European premiere of the Leapmotor B03X, a next‑generation all‑electric urban crossover designed on the brand’s global EV platform. The B03X blends efficient electric propulsion with sleek design and a flexible cabin layout, making it a strong candidate for urban and suburban buyers looking for performance, technology and everyday practicality.
B05: First Look Inside
Another key reveal at the event will be the interior of the new Leapmotor B05 hatchback. While the exterior has already generated attention with its dynamic lines and compact profile, the Brussels Motor Show will offer visitors their first in‑depth look at the B05’s cabin, emphasising comfort, technology and functional design cues aimed at European customer preferences.
B10 Hybrid EV: Expanding the Lineup with REEV Technology
Leapmotor will also officially introduce the B10 Hybrid EV in Europe. This model utilises range‑extended electric vehicle (REEV) technology, combining an electric drivetrain with a small on‑board petrol generator that recharges the battery when needed. Rather than driving the wheels, the petrol unit helps maintain charge, delivering the quiet, smooth feel of electric driving while eliminating range anxiety on longer journeys.
A Broader Brussels Motor Show 2026 Picture
Leapmotor’s showcase is part of a much larger spectacle. The 102nd Brussels Motor Show 2026 will feature over 50,000 m² of exhibition space and attract major automakers from around the world, offering everything from mainstream passenger cars to advanced concepts and electrification technology.
Stellantis, the automotive group hosting Leapmotor under its enlarged Europe umbrella, will bring 11 brands to the show, including Alfa Romeo, Citroën, DS Automobiles, Fiat & Abarth, Jeep, Lancia, Opel, Maserati, Peugeot and Stellantis Pro One. Its stand will showcase dozens of vehicles across multiple segments, including world premieres for the refreshed Opel Astra and the new Peugeot 408 crossover, alongside unique concept vehicles like the Citroën Elo.
Stellantis and participating brands will also vie for the prestigious European Car of the Year award during the event, with models such as the Citroën C5 Aircross and Fiat Grande Panda among the finalists.
What It Means for Leapmotor and European EV Buyers
Leapmotor’s presence in Brussels reflects its deeper integration into the European EV landscape, aided by Stellantis’ network and market reach. By introducing varied products like the B03X crossover, the stylish B05, and the range‑flexible B10 Hybrid EV in a single showcase, Leapmotor aims to appeal across customer segments, from urban drivers to those seeking extended range and everyday usability.
For European buyers, this expansion means more choice in EVs that are not only competitive in price but also tailored to local preferences and conditions. With one of Europe’s most influential auto shows as the platform, Leapmotor is positioning itself to compete head‑on with established players in compact and hybrid‑electric mobility.
