• Leapmotor T03 honoured in prestigious Parkers Awards ceremony

The Leapmotor T03 has been named ‘Best Value Car’ in the 2026 Parkers New Car Awards. This latest honour for the brand follows the success of the C10 SUV in last month’s Leasing.com Awards.

Organised by Parkers.co.uk, one the UK’s biggest and most respected car reviews outlets, the awards were judged by the title’s expert editorial review team. In recognising the T03’s achievement, the Parker’s panel of judges praised the T03’s incredible value for money, high levels of standard equipment and family-friendly practicality.

Featuring the brand’s industry-first LEAP-GRANT of £1,500* applied, the T03 is the most affordable five-door electric car on sale in the UK for retail customers, starting from £14,495 OTR**

Keith Adams, Parkers’ editor, commented: “The Leapmotor T03 has completely reshaped what we expect from an affordable car. It’s electric, fully equipped and astonishingly well priced – proof that value and innovation can go hand in hand. By crashing through the £15,000 barrier without cutting corners, Leapmotor has opened the door to electric motoring for a whole new audience.”

Damien Dally, Leapmotor UK Managing Director, said: “We’re absolutely thrilled to receive this award from Parkers, which is the latest of what we hope are many accolades to come for Leapmotor’s line-up. Following on from the success of the C10 and the recent launch of the B10, this recognition highlights the incredible value for money offered by the T03. By delivering highly specified, affordable electric cars crammed with technology, we continue to offer UK consumers a simple and stress-free leap to electrification.”
