Leapmotor’s new electric hatchback is far more polished than expected, with a terrific ride, a quiet cabin, and a genuinely premium-feeling interior.

The Chinese electric hatchback’s hotter Ultra version is under study for export markets, but Leapmotor says it may need more than the Chinese-market setup to make sense outside China.

The Chinese brand says regulations and safety-test requirements are making driver-assistance systems more intrusive, but it's still working with Stellantis engineers to improve the tuning.

Leapmotor is discussing whether its new B05 electric hatchback could follow the C10 and B10 SUVs in offering a petrol-assisted range-extender powertrain, but there are packaging and business-case hurdles.

More brands are selling more models in Australia than ever before. The CarExpert Choice Awards are here to help you choose the best of them.

The BYD Atto 1 is cheap, compact and fully electric, and our biggest surprise from driving it for a month is how little it feels like a compromise.

Leapmotor says it wants to be more than a cheap EV brand and its Chinese factory tour showed us how it plans to do that.

Leapmotor’s huge D19 flagship SUV packs six or seven seats, EV or range-extender power, and serious luxury intent, but will it work in Australia?

China’s B05 Ultra gives Leapmotor’s compact electric hatch a warmer rear-drive flagship, but our drive left us with a lot of unanswered questions.

The Chinese EV brand says its export-market cars are being developed with input from Stellantis engineers – and Australia could get its own tune if the business case stacks up.

The Stellantis-backed brand says it sees other Chinese brands as its real rivals in Australia, but for now it won’t copy their multi-brand strategy.

The Chinese brand says new export-market models will get a physical key, while existing models are expected to follow with a model-year update.
