The Leapmotor B05 delivered strong Crash Avoidance performance, with its lane departure collision prevention system scoring close to full points and its autonomous emergency braking system performing well across a broad range of scenarios. Some of ANCAP’s new low-speed ‘start-from-stop’ scenarios – including those designed to address pedal misapplication and driveway runover risks – remain areas for further development.
The B05 demonstrated impressive results for the foundational assessment area of Crash Protection (92%). ANCAP assessments from 2026 factor in the level of protection a vehicle provides to occupants of a broader range of sizes and statures, with the Leapmotor B05 showing the benefits of a well-designed vehicle structure and restraints in minimising injury to large, small and mid-sized occupants across a range of test impact speeds.
The B05 also scored well in Post Crash. One of the post-crash features being encouraged by ANCAP is eCall, which allows a vehicle to automatically notify emergency responders of the location and severity of a crash. Through ANCAP’s encouragement, all B05 vehicles entering the AUS/NZ markets are equipped with eCall hardware which will support a fully-operational eCall function expected to be rolled out by Leapmotor in coming months. At that time, all existing and new B05 owners will gain access to this important emergency feature.
In the Safe Driving assessment area, the B05 demonstrated capability across a number of the new features now being assessed by ANCAP, while also highlighting opportunities for further development as these technologies mature.
