Leapmotor is rapidly gaining traction in Southern Europe, especially in Italy, where the compact T03 has turned into a bestseller under local subsidy programs. Against this backdrop, Stellantis is considering a deeper collaboration with the Chinese brand, and Italian media report that the group is exploring a plan to revive the Fiat Brava as an affordable electric car. The timing feels logical for a market hungry for value-focused EVs.

The likely foundation is the new Leapmotor B05, a 4.4‑meter compact recently unveiled in China at a notably aggressive price point. The model claims up to 605 km on the CLTC cycle, or roughly 520 km under the more realistic WLTP standard, positioning it as a genuine alternative to the Volkswagen ID.3, MG4, and other mainstream C‑segment electric hatchbacks—at least on paper.

Production of the potential electric Brava could be located at Stellantis’s plant in Zaragoza. That would help meet EU local-content requirements and reduce costs, neatly aligning with Fiat’s broader range expansion, which includes the future Topolona and Grizzly slated for 2026.

The Leapmotor platform would likely carry over with minimal changes, though Fiat is expected to adapt it to its own design language and equipment standards—a pragmatic path that avoids unnecessary reinvention.

For now, the project remains at the discussion stage, yet the mix of Italian style, Chinese technology, and European manufacturing looks increasingly plausible. If Stellantis gives the go-ahead, the Brava name could return—completely reimagined for the electric era.
