KATHMANDU: Chinese EV maker Leapmotor is looking to make a mark in Nepal’s competitive compact SUV segment with the new B03X.
Introduced in Nepal by Shangrila Motors, the B03X is a compact electric SUV equipped with a 145 kW front-wheel-drive motor and a 53 kWh LFP battery pack.
The SUV combines a large battery, powerful motor and practical SUV proportions. These features make it stand out among compact electric SUVs.
Three aspects of the B03X are particularly notable: battery capacity, motor performance and practicality.
One of the key strengths of the B03X is its 53 kWh LFP battery pack. The battery capacity is competitive for its segment and is suited to both daily commuting and longer trips.
The larger battery makes the B03X more practical for customers looking for longer driving range. It also makes the SUV suitable for highway and long-distance travel.
Motor performance is another strong point of the B03X. Its 145 kW electric motor is mounted at the front and drives the front wheels. The strong motor output provides sufficient power and torque for city and highway driving. It is also useful on uphill roads and during overtaking.
The power delivery gives the B03X a confident driving experience. This is particularly useful on Nepal’s varied roads and terrain. Ground clearance is important in Nepal due to its varied road conditions.
The B03X offers 190 mm of ground clearance.
This helps the SUV handle speed breakers, rough sections and rural roads more easily.
The B03X also offers 540 liters of boot space. The large boot is practical for families and customers carrying luggage or daily-use items.
Overall, the B03X is not focused only on design and technology. Its 53 kWh LFP battery, 145 kW motor, 190 mm ground clearance and 540-liter boot make it a practical electric SUV for Nepal.
Bookings for the B03X have been open since the NAIMA Nepal Mobility Expo. Shangrila Motors is preparing to deliver the SUV to customers before Dashain.
Customers interested in the B03X can visit the company’s authorized showroom for a test drive and booking.
