The Danish EV market has moved since April. A fresh ranking of official WLTP range per krone, published on 31 October 2026, puts the Leapmotor B05 in first place and pushes MG and Tesla down the table.
Leapmotor B05 takes first place in Denmark
The winner is the B05 Life ProMax. It costs DKK 199,990, has a 67.1 kWh battery and an official range of 482 km. That works out at DKK 415 per WLTP kilometre.
The MG4 EV Extended Range, which led the April ranking, drops to second place. It offers 545 km for DKK 234,999, or DKK 431 per kilometre. The gap is small, but it is enough to change the order.
Leapmotor does more than win. The better equipped B05 Design costs DKK 209,990 and lands third at DKK 436 per kilometre. The entry level B05 Life has 401 km of range for DKK 179,990, which gives DKK 449 per kilometre. Three of the top five places belong to the same car.
| Position | Model | Price (DKK) | WLTP range | DKK per km |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Leapmotor B05 Life ProMax | 199,990 | 482 km | 415 |
| 2 | MG4 EV Extended Range | 234,999 | 545 km | 431 |
| 3 | Leapmotor B05 Design | 209,990 | 482 km | 436 |
| 5 | Leapmotor B05 Life | 179,990 | 401 km | 449 |
| 6 | Tesla Model 3 Premium Long Range | 339,990 | 750 km | 453 |
| Hyundai Ioniq 3 Long Range Select | 224,995 | 496 km | 454 | |
| Kia EV3 Long Range | 274,999 | 604 km | 455 | |
| 10 | Nissan Leaf 75 kWh | 284,900 | 622 km | 458 |
| Kia EV4 Long Range | 289,999 | 625 km | 464 | |
| Tesla Model 3 (cheapest version) | 269,990 | 572 km | 472 | |
| Kia EV2 Long Range | 214,999 | 453 km | 475 | |
| 20 | Hyundai Ioniq 6 | Not reported | Not reported | 485 |
Position is shown where reported. Not every car in the top 20 is listed. A lower figure means more range for the money.
Hyundai Ioniq 3 gets a price cut
On 23 October Hyundai lowered the price of the Ioniq 3 Long Range Select from DKK 249,995 to DKK 224,995. With 496 km of WLTP range, that equals DKK 454 per kilometre, ahead of the Kia EV3 and the Nissan Leaf. One detail matters for buyers: the heat pump is no longer standard and must be added as an option.
Tesla and the established brands hold on
The Tesla Model 3 Premium Long Range with rear wheel drive costs DKK 339,990 and has 750 km of official range. That gives DKK 453 per kilometre and sixth place. The cheapest Model 3 still costs DKK 269,990, but its listed range has risen to 572 km from 534 km, which cuts its figure from DKK 506 to DKK 472 per kilometre.
The Nissan Leaf with the 75 kWh battery is now DKK 284,900, down from DKK 290,000. With 622 km of range it costs DKK 458 per kilometre and sits in tenth place. Kia is well represented too: the EV3 Long Range offers 604 km for DKK 274,999, the EV4 Long Range offers 625 km for DKK 289,999, and the new EV2 Long Range offers 453 km for DKK 214,999.
The loser is the Volkswagen ID.3 Neo Life with the 79 kWh battery. At DKK 314,995 and 626 km, it comes to DKK 503 per kilometre and has dropped out of the top 20. The Ford Explorer Extended Range and the Toyota C-HR+ also sit just outside it. The Hyundai Ioniq 6 closes the top 20 at DKK 485 per kilometre, but its 800 volt system can charge from 10 to 80 percent in as little as 18 minutes under ideal conditions.
Sweden: Leapmotor leads here too
Swedish prices and taxes differ from the Danish ones, so kronor and kroner cannot be compared directly. Inside Sweden the order is clear. Based on Swedish list prices and official WLTP range, here is how the cars we could verify line up, in SEK per kilometre.
| Position | Model | Price (SEK) | WLTP range | SEK per km |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Leapmotor B05 Design ProMax | 359,900 | 482 km | 747 |
| 2 | Hyundai Ioniq 3 Long Range | 394,900 | 496 km | 796 |
| 3 | Kia EV3 Long Range | 498,300 | 605 km | 824 |
| 4 | Tesla Model 3 RWD | 449,990 | 534 km | 843 |
| 5 | Leapmotor T03 | 229,900 | 265 km | 868 |
| 6 | Fiat Grande Panda Electric Pop | 279,900 | 320 km | 875 |
| 7 | Hyundai Inster Pure | 299,900 | 327 km | 917 |
| 8 | Citroën ë-C3 MAX | 299,500 | 320 km | 936 |
Prices exclude rebates and the Swedish EV premium. A lower figure means more range for the money.
The Leapmotor B05 Design ProMax is the only car in this group below SEK 750 per kilometre, and the Hyundai Ioniq 3 Long Range takes second place. The cheapest car in Sweden, the Leapmotor T03, is not the cheapest per kilometre, because its small battery limits the range. The lists do not include rebates or the Swedish EV premium, which applies only to some households.
Norway: a different top five
Norway has its own tax system and a different mix of cars. The best available benchmark is the NAF El Prix 2026 summer test, which divides purchase price by promised WLTP range for the cars in the test, in NOK per kilometre.
| Position | Model | Price (NOK) | WLTP range | NOK per km |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Toyota C-HR+ | 429,000 | 607 km | 707 |
| 2 | Dongfeng Vigo | 259,900 | 340 km | 764 |
| 3 | BYD Atto EVO | 389,000 | 470 km | 828 |
| 4 | Mazda 6e | 403,300 | 479 km | 842 |
| 5 | Kia EV4 | 514,900 | 594 km | 867 |
Covers the cars in the NAF and Motor summer test, not the whole market. A lower figure means more range for the money.
This list covers only the cars in the test, not the whole Norwegian market. We could not confirm a Norwegian price for the Leapmotor B05 at the time of writing, so it is not ranked. The Toyota C-HR+, which sits just outside the Danish top 20, is the cheapest per kilometre in Norway.
The cheapest kilometre is not always the best
The rankings measure only official WLTP range against price. They say nothing about winter range, charging speed, space or equipment. The WLTP figure is a standard for comparing cars, not a promise for a motorway at 130 km/h in a headwind. For a long holiday drive south, a car like the Ioniq 6 can be worth far more than a lower price per kilometre.
The conclusion is still hard to avoid. A car with almost 500 km of official range for under DKK 200,000 is now on sale in Denmark, and it comes from Leapmotor.
