Leapmotor T03: which version to buy (79 kW, 1 generation)
There is only one catalogue version of the Leapmotor T03: 79 kW, sold in 1 generation as a Mini 5-doors from 2020-01-01 with no stop date in the data. The buying question is not “which engine,” because there is no second engine.
There is only one catalogue version of the Leapmotor T03: 79 kW, sold in 1 generation as a Mini 5-doors from 2020-01-01 with no stop date in the data. The buying question is not “which engine,” because there is no second engine. It is whether 79 kW’s measured numbers — 95 hp, 69 kW, 161 Nm, 1175 kg kerb, 1475 kg gross, 12.7 s to 100, 130 km/h, FWD, Automatic with 1 speed, Electro, CO2 0 — match the job. Every figure below is from that single row, or is arithmetic on that row. Parameters the row leaves empty are written as not measured.
Leapmotor T03 specs that decide the purchase
79 kW is named 79 kW in the data. The same row lists peak power as 95 hp and 69 kW. Those three labels sit on one version; they are not three trims. Displacement is not measured (electric, no cubic centimetres in the file). Cylinders, cylinder layout, valves per cylinder, boost, engine layout, and fuel system are not measured. Fuel is Electro. Gearbox is Automatic, 1 speed. Drive is FWD.
Weight and chassis numbers that change how the car feels:
- kerb 1175 kg, gross 1475 kg → payload 1475 − 1175 = 300 kg
- kg per horsepower: 1175 ÷ 95 ≈ 12.37 kg/hp
- hp per tonne (kerb): 95 ÷ 1.175 ≈ 80.9 hp/t
- Nm per kg (kerb): 161 ÷ 1175 ≈ 0.137 Nm/kg
- Nm per hp: 161 ÷ 95 ≈ 1.69 Nm/hp
- ground clearance 140 mm
- tank not measured
- wheels not measured
- city / highway / combined consumption not measured
- CO2 0
If you need a second Leapmotor T03 with more hp, more Nm, AWD, or a different gearbox, this catalogue generation does not list one. 79 kW is the only buy.
Generations: what 1 generation actually offers
1 generation (key in data: start 2020-01-01, stop not set) is the whole T03 line here: Mini 5-doors, 1 modification. There is no restyling row and no second generation to compare year-on-year power or weight. Nothing in the file shows a later T03 with a different body, a different drive, or a different Automatic speed count.
What “choosing the generation” means in practice: you are choosing 1 generation 79 kW, not choosing between gen 1 and gen 2. Production start is 2020-01-01; the modification uses the same start and also has no stop date. Year-to-year facelift differences (lights, battery kWh, range) are not measured in this dataset, so they cannot be used as a reason to pick an early or late car.
Engine, gearbox, drive: the only Leapmotor T03 version
| Version | hp | kW | Nm | Displacement | Fuel | Cylinders | Layout | Boost | Gearbox | Speeds | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 79 kW | 95 | 69 | 161 | not measured | Electro | not measured | not measured | not measured | Automatic | 1 | FWD |
Read the table as a buying filter:
- Electro only — there is no petrol or diesel T03 in the data, so “which fuel” is already answered.
- FWD only — no AWD row to pay extra for.
- Automatic 1 — no manual and no multi-ratio automatic to compare.
- Peak listed as 95 hp / 69 kW on a version named 79 kW. Do not treat 79 and 69 as two cars; treat them as the labels on this one row.
- 161 Nm with displacement not measured, so power per litre is not measured (no litres in the file). Torque density versus engine size cannot be calculated.
Front suspension is Independent, spring. Rear is Semi-independent, springorts hélicoïdaux, sem (English label as stored). Front brakes Disc, rear brakes Disc. Those chassis labels do not split the range into sport and comfort versions; they describe 79 kW only.
Performance and economy (mpg / 0–100 / top speed)
79 kW 0–100: 12.7 s. Top speed: 130. Consumption city: not measured. Highway: not measured. Mixed: not measured. There is no mpg figure in the data, so this article cannot rank T03 versions by economy. CO2 is 0.
Arithmetic that still helps the buy:
- Average acceleration implied by 0–100 in 12.7 s is 100 ÷ 12.7 ≈ 7.87 km/h per second over that interval (a derived rate, not a second measured test).
- 130 km/h top speed versus 12.7 s to 100: the car is specified to 100 well below its listed maximum; how much time it needs from 100 to 130 is not measured.
- With 12.37 kg/hp, the 0–100 of 12.7 s is consistent with a light Mini 5-doors (1175 kg) and 95 hp, not with a high-power catalogue. There is no hotter T03 in the file to buy if 12.7 s is too slow.
- Tank volume is not measured, so range from tank size is not measured. Economy in litres is not applicable to Electro in this row; kWh/100 km is also not measured.
If the purchase gate is “must have a published combined consumption,” 79 kW fails that gate: mixed is not measured. If the gate is “CO2 listed as 0,” it passes. If the gate is “0–100 under 12.7 s,” there is no other T03 version here that is faster.
Dimensions, weight, clearance, wheels
Kerb 1175 kg. Gross 1475 kg. Payload 300 kg. Ground clearance 140 mm. Fuel tank not measured. Wheel sizes not measured. Length, width, height, wheelbase: not measured.
What those numbers allow you to decide:
- 300 kg payload on 1175 kg kerb is 300 ÷ 1175 ≈ 25.5% of kerb mass. Loading to gross 1475 kg raises mass by that 300 kg; kg/hp then becomes 1475 ÷ 95 ≈ 15.53 kg/hp instead of 12.37 kg/hp (about 3.16 kg/hp worse). 0–100 at gross is not measured; only the unladen 12.7 s is in the file.
- 140 mm clearance: no second T03 with a different figure, so you cannot buy a “higher” generation.
- Wheels not measured: tyre packages cannot be compared.
- Tank not measured: you cannot size a fuel stop or a tank-based range.
Which Leapmotor T03 version to choose
Choose 79 kW if you want the only T03 this catalogue lists: Mini 5-doors, 1 generation from 2020-01-01, Electro, Automatic 1, FWD, 95 hp, 69 kW, 161 Nm, 1175 kg, 1475 kg, 140 mm, 12.7 s, 130 km/h, CO2 0.
Do not look for another T03 version in this data to get more power, a second gearbox, AWD, or a different body. Modification count for 1 generation is 1. There is no “extra money buys X hp” comparison between trims, because there are no two trims. The only internal comparison is loaded versus listed kerb on the same 79 kW: 300 kg payload, kg/hp from 12.37 to 15.53 at gross.
Walk away from 79 kW (in this catalogue’s terms) if you require a measured displacement, cylinder count, boost, engine layout, consumption (city/highway/mixed), tank size, wheel size, or a 0–100 better than 12.7 s — all of those are either not measured or not offered by a second version.
Reliability / problems: this dataset has no failure rates, battery kWh, or warranty figures. Those searches cannot be answered with numbers from the launch data. What is measured for ownership physics is mass (1175 / 1475), power (95 hp / 69 kW), torque (161 Nm), drive (FWD), gearbox (Automatic, 1), body (Mini 5-doors), brakes (Disc / Disc), and the suspension labels above.
One-sentence recap that stays true on its own: the Leapmotor T03 to buy in this file is 79 kW in 1 generation, because it is the only version — 95 hp, 161 Nm, Electro, Automatic 1, FWD, 1175 kg kerb, 300 kg payload, 12.7 s, 130 km/h, CO2 0, with consumption, tank, wheels, and engine geometry not measured.
