Which Leapmotor should you lease?
Choose T03 for a compact four-seat electric car, C10 for a larger SUV with battery-electric and Hybrid EV choices, or B10 for the listed Hybrid EV family-car brief. B05 is the separate electric hatchback. Keep the petrol generator in view: Hybrid EV is a plug-in hybrid, not a BEV.
| Your requirement | Models to compare | What matters |
|---|---|---|
| Compact electric car | T03 | Check the cabin and the separate additional warranty year. |
| Electric hatchback | B05 | Confirm the listed 67kWh-labelled UK specification and supply. |
| SUV with electric or range-extending options | C10 | Separate 70kWh-labelled electric from 28kWh-labelled Hybrid EV. |
| Hybrid EV SUV | B10 | The entries are series plug-in hybrids; do not infer a BEV. |
Leapmotor leasing at a glance
- C10 Hybrid EV is 4,739 mm long.
- B10 Hybrid EV is 4,515 mm long, 224 mm shorter than C10.
- C10 Hybrid EV has a 400-litre VDA boot.
- Current C10 Hybrid EV offers up to 94 miles WLTP combined electric-only range; this does not describe the battery-electric C10.
- T03 has 4 seats.
C10 Hybrid EV: electric driving with a petrol range extender
Choose C10 Hybrid EV when you want an electric-drive SUV with a petrol generator available beyond the stored charge. Leapmotor’s current UK specification gives it a 4,739 mm body, 400 litres of VDA luggage space with the seats up and up to 94 miles WLTP combined electric-only range.
For an entirely electric routine, compare C10 BEV rather than Hybrid EV. The figures above concern the 28.4 kWh Hybrid EV, listed by IVF as 28 kWh, not the 70 kWh-labelled BEV; real electric range varies with conditions and is separate from the combined petrol-and-electric distance.
T03: a compact electric car for everyday use
Choose T03 for four-person electric use where a small body and easy parking matter. The UK car has five doors but four seats, and Leapmotor quotes up to 165 miles WLTP combined for its 37.3 kWh battery specification. Try the normal bags with both rear seats occupied.
Plan the local charging routine and any recurring longer trip together. That manufacturer benchmark belongs to the matching UK 70 kW T03, labelled 37 kWh in IVF’s catalogue, with weather, speed and load affecting the distance achieved.
B10: the cars are Hybrid EV versions
Choose B10 for the shorter Hybrid EV SUV brief. Leapmotor’s current UK specification puts it at 4,515 mm long, 224 mm shorter than C10 Hybrid EV’s 4,739 mm. That is a useful parking-space saving to weigh against the actual rear cabin and luggage arrangement.
Choose between the two around regular charging and the journeys on which the petrol generator will be useful. IVF’s B10 entries are 160 kW Hybrid EV cars labelled 19 kWh; a battery-electric B10 specification does not describe them, and an NI-labelled entry needs the appropriate territorial supply route.
B05 and the support needed for a newer model
An electric hatchback brief points to B05 when an SUV body is unnecessary. IVF’s 160 kW, 67 kWh-labelled entry gives the enquiry a specific starting point, with UK allocation and the supplied equipment still to be resolved.
Include B05’s own battery warranty, servicing and local support in that enquiry. The documents for T03 or C10 do not set B05’s cover; IVF’s electric car leasing hub can keep another hatchback option in the comparison.
What IVF adds to your Leapmotor shortlist
Ask IVF to separate battery-electric cars from the generator-equipped Hybrid EV entries before comparing range or tax. That is particularly important for B10, where the listed cars are plug-in hybrids despite the battery-electric model offered elsewhere, and for the territorial details on NI-labelled rows.

Warranty, maintenance and the full lease term
The published UK manufacturer terms distinguish T03 at three years or 60,000 miles from C10 and B10 at four years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first. T03’s advertised four-year package includes a separate additional year; obtain its eligibility and exclusions.
The UK C10 Hybrid EV press information separately states eight-year or 100,000-mile battery cover. Confirm the applicable battery conditions for the exact supplied model and registration. B05 needs its own current UK documents because it is not listed in the manufacturer terms used here.
Warranty, roadside assistance and optional maintenance are different provisions. Check scheduled services, tyres, approved use and the practical servicing location for the entire agreement.
Leapmotor company-car tax: use the exact vehicle
The examples deliberately select battery-electric T03 and C10 entries. Hybrid EV C10 and B10 need their own certified CO2 and electric range, and must not inherit the BEV rate.
Personal-tax illustrations: a full year, 40% income tax and no employee contributions or other adjustments, using IVF’s 10 September 2026 Leapmotor entries. Neither lease rentals, employer costs nor equivalent-car savings.
| Listed derivative | P11D | Tax basis | BiK | Tax at 40% |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| T03 70kW 37kWh 5dr Auto | £15,930 | Zero-emission electric | 4% | £254.88 |
| C10 160kW Life 70kWh 5dr Auto | £34,935 | Zero-emission electric | 4% | £558.96 |
The published tax-year path for Leapmotor
The illustrated bands are Zero-emission electric: 4% in 2026/27; Qualifying PHEV, 1–50 g/km, certified electric range 40–69 miles: 10% in 2026/27. Confirm P11D, certified CO2/range and transitional treatment with your accountant. Read the general company-car BiK rules. T03, B05 and battery-electric C10 use zero-emission treatment; C10 and B10 Hybrid EV have petrol generators and require the relevant plug-in assessment.
| Tax specification | 2026/27 | 2027/28 | 2028/29 | 2029/30 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Zero-emission electric | 4% | 5% | 7% | 9% |
| Qualifying PHEV, 1–50 g/km, certified electric range 40–69 miles | 10% | 11% | 18% | 19% |
Leapmotor: road taxes across the agreement
ECS uses list price with options before discounts, not rental or assumed P11D equivalence; confirm registration and funder handling. VED rules; eVED proposal. Tax checked 10 September 2026.
| Cost and timing | Application to this shortlist | Rule to check |
|---|---|---|
| Vehicle Excise Duty (VED), 2026/27 | T03/B05/electric C10 versus generator-equipped Hybrid EV | Year one: £10 for zero-emission cars; petrol/hybrid rates follow registered CO2, without the former hybrid discount. Thereafter: £200 annually before supplements. |
| Expensive Car Supplement (ECS) | Hybrid EV C10/B10 do not qualify as zero-emission cars. | £440 annually for five years from the second licence. Thresholds: more than £40,000 petrol/hybrid; more than £50,000 for qualifying zero-emission cars registered from 1 April 2025. |
| Planned eVED, April 2028 | BEV and Hybrid EV plug-in versions use different mileage rates. | Additional to VED: 3p per mile electric; 1.5p per mile plug-in hybrid. Not a current charge; final legislation and implementation remain relevant. |

From Leapmotor shortlist to handover
- Distinguish battery-electric Leapmotor models from the C10 and B10 Hybrid EV entries before setting a charging plan.
- Compare initial and monthly rentals, term, mileage, optional maintenance, fees and early-termination conditions on the same basis.
- Ask which B05, T03, C10 or B10 can be supplied and keep the generator-equipped Hybrid EV description explicit.
- Agree return standards and charges for excess mileage, damage beyond fair wear and tear or missing equipment, with insurance and fuel or electricity budgeted separately.
Compare like-for-like powertrains
For an electric SUV, compare C10 BEV with Geely EX5 on the actual cabin, battery generation and servicing arrangements.
For a plug-in alternative, compare C10 Hybrid EV with Geely Starray EM-i. The architectures differ, so compare charging routines and certified tax inputs rather than the word hybrid.
Leapmotor leasing questions
Settle the practical details before choosing your car and contract.
Does the Leapmotor T03 seat five people?
No. The UK T03 is a four-seat car with five doors. It does not meet a five-person requirement. Check luggage with both rear seats in use rather than relying on the larger load area created by folding them. Confirm the actual supplied UK model and seating specification.
Does IVF list both C10 powertrains?
Yes. The saved C10 listings include battery-electric versions and Hybrid EV series plug-in hybrids. The Hybrid EV has an on-board petrol generator; it is not a zero-emission battery-electric car. Compare them around charging access and longer trips, and keep combined petrol-and-electric range separate from certified electric-only range.
Are the listed B10 cars battery-electric?
The B10 entries reviewed here are Hybrid EV series plug-in hybrids with 19kWh battery labels. Do not assume a battery-electric model described elsewhere is the version in the quotation.
What does the NI label require me to check?
Ask IVF to confirm territorial supply and eligibility for the specific entry and funder. An NI-labelled catalogue car should not be assumed available on identical terms throughout the UK.
Does T03 have a four-year manufacturer warranty?
The UK manufacturer terms state three years or 60,000 miles. The advertised four-year T03 package combines that with a separate additional year. Obtain the extra cover’s terms and confirmation it applies to the supplied car.
Can I order a B05?
A B05 electric hatchback route appears in the catalogue. Ask IVF to establish the actual UK specification, allocation and timing, plus B05-specific warranty and servicing terms.
Is combined Hybrid EV range its electric range?
No. Combined range can include petrol-assisted travel. Electric-only certification is a different figure and must match the exact supplied derivative before it is used for company-car tax or journey planning.
Is maintenance included in a Leapmotor lease?
Maintenance is optional: check that the quotation itemises servicing, tyres and exclusions for your chosen Leapmotor. Warranty cover for defects is separate from routine maintenance, insurance, energy and return charges.
How much luggage can the C10 Hybrid EV carry with passengers aboard?
Leapmotor’s UK Hybrid EV specification gives 400 litres of VDA boot space with rear seats up, increasing to 1,375 litres when folded. Use the first figure when the rear passengers travel. Match the supplied UK Hybrid EV model and luggage arrangement; the battery-electric C10 needs its own specification. Check your actual bags and load opening as well as the published volume.
