The Leapmotor B10, the new electric SUV from the Chinese startup now part of Stellantis and previously previewed in Paris, will be unveiled in China on March 10.
With the B10, Leapmotor is targeting the BYD Atto 3 as well as the Lynk & Co Z20 (the Chinese version of the 02), thanks to its 4.5-meter length and an electric motor capable of delivering a maximum power of 214 hp. The expected price for the Chinese market will range between 100,000 and 150,000 yuan, approximately €10,000 to €18,000. In Europe, where it is set to arrive in the second half of 2025, it is expected to be priced between €30,000 and €35,000.
A New Platform
The Leapmotor B10 is not just a new model for the brand but represents the first vehicle in the new B series, dedicated to affordable new-energy electric vehicles.
Additionally, it is the first model to use the modular LEAP 3.5 architecture, designed to ensure greater efficiency and versatility. In terms of design, it inherits the styling language of the C series, specifically from the C10 and C16. The front end features a LED light strip connecting the daytime running lights, while the main headlights are positioned within the sporty front bumper, which has a large air intake. Despite its affordable price range, the B10 offers premium details such as retractable door handles, 18-inch wheels, and an optional LiDAR sensor on the roof to enhance ADAS functions.
The dimensions of the Leapmotor B10 are 4.51 meters in length, 1.88 meters in width, and 1.65 meters in height, with a wheelbase of 2.7 meters, making it slightly larger than the BYD Atto 3 and the Lynk & Co.
In terms of performance, the base version of the Leapmotor B10 is equipped with a 132 kW (177 hp) electric motor, while the more powerful variant reaches 160 kW (214 hp). The 56.2 kWh LFP battery pack provides a range of about 510 km according to the CLTC cycle, which translates to approximately 350-400 km under the WLTP standard.
