Leapmotor Ireland is proud to announce its appointment as Official Vehicle Launch Partner of the Nevo EV Show 2026, taking place at the RDS Simmonscourt, Dublin on Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th November.
The partnership brings Ireland’s newest car brand to the country’s dedicated electric vehicle exhibition as its official launch partner, headlined by the exclusive Irish debut of the new B03X compact SUV and the first public showcase of the new B05 C-Hatchback since its arrival in Irish showrooms in August.
As Official Vehicle Launch Partner, Leapmotor Ireland will hold the show’s exclusive vehicle debuts, giving visitors the first public sight of models before they reach the wider market. It is a fitting stage for a brand that has gone from a standing start to a full model range in a little over twelve months, and it places Leapmotor in front of exactly the audience it was built for: Irish drivers actively weighing up their first electric car.
Mark Brennan, Marketing Manager of Leapmotor Ireland, commented: “Being named Official Vehicle Launch Partner of the Nevo EV Show is a real vote of confidence in what we have built here in a very short space of time. Nevo has become the place where Irish drivers go to ask the honest questions about electric driving, and we’ll be there to answer them! We’re a new badge inviting people to ‘Take the Leap’, and there’s no substitute for letting them sit in the cars, chat to our people and see the value for themselves.”
The star of the Leapmotor stand will be the B03X, the brand’s new compact SUV and the first Leapmotor model developed on an all-new global platform. Making its exclusive Irish debut at the show, B03X builds on the strengths of the B10 in a more agile, city-friendly form, and arrives with the level of standard specification that has come to define the brand. B03X pricing will be announced in the coming weeks, with cars landing on dealer forecourts in November 2026.
Alongside it, visitors will get their first public look at the new B05 C-Hatchback, which was officially launched just last week. With B05, Leapmotor enters the C-Segment hatchback market, one of the most competitive and important segments in the country, offering C-Segment space and specification at traditional B-Segment prices, retailing from €28,998, inclusive of SEAI grant and VRT rebate, with up to 482 km WLTP range.
The full Leapmotor range will be on display across the weekend, from the compact T03 city car to the C10 large family SUV and the B10 compact SUV. Visitors will also be able to get behind the wheel. Leapmotor will also feature in the myenergi Driving Experience across both days of the show, giving attendees the chance to drive the models for themselves.
Simon Andreucetti, Managing Director of Nevo, commented: “The response to this year’s show has been extraordinary, with over 19,000 tickets registered in just weeks, the fastest uptake we’ve ever seen. It shows just how far the electric vehicle conversation has come in Ireland, and how many people are now genuinely weighing up their first EV. Few brands have built their Irish presence as quickly as Leapmotor, and I’m delighted to welcome them as our Official Vehicle Launch Partner for Nevo EV Show 2026. Giving visitors the first public sight of the B03X and B05 before they reach the wider market is exactly the kind of moment the Nevo show was built for.”
