Leapmotor's Nepal lineup just got a new member. Shangrila Motors, the official distributor for Leapmotor in Nepal, has launched the B03X electric SUV in the local market, adding another option to the brand's growing EV range that already includes the T03, B10, and C10.
Price in Nepal
The B03X carries an official price tag of Rs 46,99,000. However, Shangrila Motors is running an introductory offer of Rs 44,99,000 for the first 100 buyers — a saving of Rs 2 lakh, so early bookers stand to gain if they move quickly.
For context on where this slots into Leapmotor's Nepal range: the compact T03 starts around Rs 28.99 lakh, the B10 sits between Rs 49.99 lakh and Rs 56.99 lakh, and the flagship C10 is priced at Rs 72 lakh. The B03X's introductory price positions it just below the B10, making it an interesting mid-range pick for buyers who want a bigger SUV without stretching all the way to the B10 or C10.
What is the B03X?
Sold as the 'A10' in China, the B03X arrives in Nepal under the B03 nameplate. It's built around an electric motor producing 145 kW, paired with a 53 kWh battery pack. Leapmotor claims a CLTC range of up to 505 km on a full charge — a healthy number if it holds up in real-world Nepali driving conditions, which tend to shave off some range compared to lab figures.
On the charging side, the company claims a 30-80% DC fast charge takes around 16 minutes, which is quick by current EV standards. Energy consumption is rated at 10.7 kWh per 100 km.
Design and dimensions
The B03X follows a modern, aerodynamic design language with a closed-off front grille (as expected on an EV), slim LED headlights with a distinctive "smile" light signature, and a clean, aero-focused bumper. Down the sides, you get flared wheel arches, black cladding, semi-hidden door handles, and a floating roof effect. At the rear, it gets LED taillights.
Dimensions-wise, the SUV measures 4,270 mm in length, 1,810 mm in width, and 1,635 mm in height, with a 2,605 mm wheelbase. It rides on 18-inch alloy wheels, with a MacPherson strut setup at the front and a torsion beam at the rear — a fairly common and cost-effective suspension configuration for this segment.
Boot space is a generous 510 litres, which should be more than enough for family use, luggage, or a weekend trip out of the valley.
Interior and tech
Inside, the B03X gets a two-spoke multifunction steering wheel, an 8.88-inch fully digital instrument cluster, and a large 14.6-inch 2.5K floating central touchscreen. The infotainment system runs on a Qualcomm 8295 cockpit chip, paired with Alibaba's "Qwen" AI voice assistant — tech that's fairly premium for this price bracket and should appeal to buyers who want their SUV to feel current.
Should you consider it?
With a claimed range north of 500 km, fast charging, and a spacious cabin, the B03X looks like a solid mid-size electric SUV option on paper. The introductory pricing for the first 100 units makes it worth a serious look if you're in the market for an EV in this price range — but as always, we'd recommend a test drive and checking on after-sales service and charging infrastructure support from Shangrila Motors before signing on the dotted line.
