On July 27, Leapmotor continued releasing more details about the upcoming Leapmotor A05, focusing on its interior design, intelligent cockpit, and flexible space solutions. Prototype vehicles have already started arriving at dealerships, suggesting that the official launch of the new model is approaching.

Unlike previous previews that mainly highlighted exterior styling and color options, this round of information focuses on the A05’s 8295 smart cockpit chip, dual-layer trunk design, second-row foldable table, and versatile seat configurations.

The Leapmotor A05 is positioned as a compact urban electric vehicle designed for daily commuting, city driving, and practical family use.

Compact Size Designed for City Life

The Leapmotor A05 measures:

• Length: 4,200 mm

• Width: 1,800 mm

• Height: 1,560 mm

• Wheelbase: 2,605 mm

The vehicle adopts a five-seat layout.

Although the A05 is not a large vehicle, its compact dimensions make it suitable for crowded urban environments, including easier parking and better maneuverability.

At the same time, the 2,605 mm wheelbase provides enough rear passenger space for everyday family transportation.

Familiar Leapmotor A-Series Design Language

The exterior continues Leapmotor’s A-series design philosophy, featuring a rounded and youthful appearance.

Key exterior elements include:

• Floating roof design

• Semi-hidden door handles

• Two-tone alloy wheels

• Smooth body lines

• Distinctive smiling-style rear light design

The rear taillights feature an internal “smile” pattern, creating a recognizable lighting signature when illuminated at night.

The overall design aims to appeal to younger drivers looking for a stylish but practical compact EV.

Qualcomm 8295 Chip Brings Premium Smart Cockpit Experience

Inside the cabin, the Leapmotor A05 features:

• 8.88-inch digital instrument cluster

• 14.6-inch central touchscreen

• Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 cockpit chip

The Snapdragon 8295 is a high-performance automotive chip commonly found in more premium electric vehicles.

Its inclusion in a compact EV is relatively uncommon and provides greater hardware capability for:

• Faster navigation performance

• More responsive voice interaction

• Smoother multimedia operation

• Better multitasking capability

Leapmotor has also revealed additional entertainment features, including:

• 12-speaker audio system

• Karaoke without microphones

However, the complete equipment list has not yet been announced, so it remains unclear whether the Snapdragon 8295 chip and 12-speaker audio system will be standard across all versions.

Lifestyle-Oriented Interior Design

The A05 interior focuses on comfort and everyday usability.

The cabin uses approximately 2.6㎡ of soft-touch materials, with premium surfaces applied to:

• Door panels

• Armrests

• Upper door areas

The seats adopt a seven-layer structure designed to improve comfort and support.

Additional interior highlights include:

• 256-color ambient lighting

• Multiple lighting effects

• Floating IP BAR accessory platform

The floating IP BAR allows owners to add accessories such as:

• Fragrance lighting modules

• Emergency window breakers

• Decorative holders

• Small storage accessories

When no accessories are installed, the dashboard maintains a clean minimalist appearance.

33 Storage Areas Designed for Daily Convenience

Practicality is one of the key strengths of the Leapmotor A05.

The vehicle provides 33 storage spaces throughout the cabin.

These storage areas are designed for everyday items such as:

• Earphones

• Sunglasses

• Tissues

• Charging cables

• Small personal belongings

By giving common items dedicated storage locations, Leapmotor aims to make the cabin easier to organize.

Second-Row Table Adds Family-Friendly Functionality

One of the most interesting features is the small table attached behind the driver’s seat.

The table is designed primarily for rear passengers, rather than the driver.

It can be used for:

• Temporary laptop placement

• Eating during travel stops

• Children's drawing activities

• Small work tasks

Although the table is mounted on the front seatback, it is intended for second-row passengers to use when the vehicle is parked or during travel situations where appropriate.

Flexible Seating Modes for Different Scenarios

The Leapmotor A05 introduces multiple seat transformation modes, including:

• Surfboard mode

• Rest and relaxation mode

• Flat-bed mode

• Pet transportation mode

• Privacy storage mode

These names represent different ways of adjusting the cabin layout through:

• Folding seatbacks

• Moving front seats

• Adjusting rear seat positions

• Creating flatter loading surfaces

The flat-bed mode and moving mode naturally require sacrificing some rear seating capacity.

The actual convenience of these functions will depend on:

• How flat the folded seats become

• The height difference between sections

• The simplicity of the adjustment process

Dual-Layer Trunk Provides Flexible Storage

The Leapmotor A05 offers impressive cargo flexibility for its compact size.

Cargo capacity:

• 474L standard trunk volume

• 1,308L with rear seats folded

• 91L underfloor storage compartment

Each figure represents a different usage scenario.

The maximum 1,308L capacity requires folding down the rear seats, while the 91L hidden compartment is suitable for storing:

• Charging cables

• Emergency tools

• Small items that owners prefer to keep out of sight

The adjustable dual-layer trunk floor allows users to choose between:

• A flatter loading surface

• Increased hidden storage depth

This design improves practicality when carrying larger items occasionally.

Two Powertrain Options and Up to 510 km Range

The Leapmotor A05 will offer two electric motor options:

70 kW Motor Version

Designed mainly for:

• Daily commuting

• City driving

• Efficient transportation

90 kW Motor Version

Provides additional power reserve for:

• Highway merging

• Full-load driving

• Longer-distance travel

Battery options include:

These specifications have already appeared in China's vehicle purchase tax exemption catalog.

However, Leapmotor has not yet announced:

• Official acceleration figures

• Fast charging speed

• Detailed energy consumption data

Optional LiDAR Suggests Advanced Driving Assistance

According to regulatory filing images, the Leapmotor A05 can be equipped with an optional LiDAR sensor.

This suggests that higher-end versions may support more advanced driver assistance functions.

However, optional equipment does not mean every version will include the hardware.

The final details regarding:

• Sensor configuration

• Available intelligent driving functions

• Delivery schedule

will only be confirmed after the official launch.

Leapmotor A05 Expected Launch and Market Position

Currently, Leapmotor has not announced the official launch date or final pricing for the A05.

Known configurations include:

Range Options:

• 405 km CLTC version

• 510 km CLTC version

Motor Options:

• 70 kW

• 90 kW

With its compact dimensions, intelligent cockpit technology, flexible interior layout, and practical storage solutions, the Leapmotor A05 is positioned as an affordable smart EV aimed at urban users.

Final Thoughts

The Leapmotor A05 represents a new direction for compact electric vehicles.

Instead of focusing only on low pricing, Leapmotor is adding features usually associated with larger and more expensive EVs:

• Qualcomm 8295 smart cockpit chip

• Large infotainment display

• Flexible seating configurations

• Multi-purpose storage solutions

• Optional advanced driver assistance hardware

• Up to 510 km driving range

For city commuters and young families, the A05 combines the advantages of a small vehicle with the convenience of a smart lifestyle platform.

As more information becomes available before launch, the Leapmotor A05 could become another important model in the company’s expanding EV lineup.
