Leapmotor B03X EV to Reach Malaysia by H1 2027

What happened

Leapmotor showed the B03X at Auto China 2026. The B-SUV EV will be the brand's third locally assembled model for Malaysia.

It will be built at Stellantis' plant in Gurun, Kedah. It joins the Leapmotor B10 and C10 SUVs, which are already CKD locally assembled.

Why it matters

The B03X will carry international specifications, matching the version sold in Europe. Local assembly keeps the model within Malaysia's CKD ecosystem rather than importing fully built units.

That positions Leapmotor's line-up around a locally produced B-segment SUV.

Timeline for Malaysia

Leapmotor targets arrival of the B03X in Malaysia by the first half of 2027. The model was revealed at this year's Auto China 2026 show.

Production will follow at the Gurun, Kedah facility.

Impact on Malaysia

The B03X expands the CKD output of Stellantis' Gurun plant beyond the B10 and C10. It adds another B-SUV EV option to Malaysia's growing electric vehicle market.

Local assembly supports domestic manufacturing activity in Kedah.

The model

Leapmotor calls the vehicle the B03X, a B-SUV EV. Its specifications will mirror those of the European version.

It is the third CKD model announced for the Gurun line.

What's next

Malaysia will receive the B03X by H1 2027, after the B10 and C10. Stellantis' Gurun plant continues as the production base for Leapmotor's CKD EVs.

Pricing and local variant details have not been disclosed.
