In Brief

The micro EV Leapmotor T03 proves itself on trips: according to owners, real highway range is 260–280 km, and electricity cost per 100 km is 7–10 yuan.

The Leapmotor T03 (2026 model year) attracts attention as a budget travel solution. One source states a CLTC range of 403 km, but on the highway at 100–110 km/h real range drops to 260–280 km. Another source, describing an owner's trip in Sichuan province, lists a range of 310 km and notes that at the same speed real range was about 78% of the claimed figure.

The car has a 37 kWh battery. Average energy consumption in city and on highway is 11–12 kWh/100 km, on the highway 12.5–13.5 kWh/100 km. Fast charging from 30% to 80% takes about 40 minutes. Electricity cost per 100 km is 7–10 yuan, which, according to the source, is 80% cheaper than gasoline equivalents.

In one described case, the owner drove 400 km one way, charging twice at highway fast-charging stations (State Grid), with total electricity cost under 60 yuan. It is noted that route planning via Baidu Maps eliminates range anxiety. The Leapmotor T03 is recommended for city driving and short trips, not for long intercity routes.

The battery comes with a 6-year or 600,000 km warranty.

Tang Dmi Hybrid 6000 km Road Trip Experience

The vehicle showed good stability due to the underfloor battery, low cabin noise, and reliable performance except for one AC failure resolved by restart. Adaptive cruise control worked well, while lane keeping was deemed poor.
