    Leapmotor B10 EV at Auto Shanghai – five-seat C-segment SUV with up to 215 hp is bound for Malaysia

    This is the Leapmotor B10, which made its debut at last year’s Paris Motor Show. Having gone on sale in its domestic market last month, the all-electric SUV is now on show at Auto Shanghai 2025. Sitting below the C10 in the automaker’s product portfolio, the B10 is due to head to Europe in the near future and will eventually be heading to Malaysia.

    Measuring in at 4,515 mm long, 1,855 mm wide and 1,655 mm tall, with a 2,735 mm-long wheelbase, the C-segment offering follows the general styling template of the larger C-series, with a front end that features a closed-off fascia and a slim bridging strip joining the headlights. At the back, the theme continues, with design accents including a horizontal light bar strip joining the rear light assemblies.

    In China, the B10 is available in five variant forms, with the base variant featuring a rear electric motor offering 177 hp (179 PS, or 132 kW) and 175 Nm of torque. A 56.2 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery provides the base model with 510 km of travel on a single charge based on the CLTC standard, which translates to about 420 km of WLTP-rated range. Performance figures include a 0-100 km/h time of 9.3 seconds.

    The other variants get a more powerful electric motor putting out 215 hp (218 PS, or 160 kW) and 240 Nm Versions with the 56.2 kWh battery offer an identical 510 km CLTC range, but a higher capacity 67.1 kWh LFP unit provides 600 km of CLTC-rated range (or around 490 km WLTP). In any case, the 0-100 km/h sprint time for the higher output B10 drops to 6.8 seconds.

    In terms of charging, the automaker says it takes about 4.2 hours to charge the smaller battery from 30-80%, or 5.6 hours for the larger battery via the AC route at a max rate of 11 kW. With a 400V electrical architecture, the B10 supports DC fast charging that can get the battery from 30 to 80% state-of-charge in around 19 minutes for the 56.2 kWh unit, or 20 minutes for the 67.1 kWh pack.

    Like the B01 EV sedan that made its global debut at today at Auto Shanghai, the B10 is underpinned by the automaker’s LEAP 3.5 platform. According to the automaker, the B10’s chassis has been co-developed with Stellantis to deliver superior handling and comfort. Technical highlights include a newly optimised steering angle algorithm and an integrated braking system to offer a smoother and more energy-efficient driving experience.

    Like the larger C10 features the brand’s CTC 2.0 (Cell-to-Chassis) technology, which features custom-designed, floor-mounted low-profile battery cells Aside from providing additional cabin space and enhanced structural integration, it allows improved fast-charging efficiency to be obtained.

    Inside, you’ll find a cleanly presented cockpit featuring an 8.8-inch digital instrument cluster and a 14.6-inch 2.5K high-definition touchscreen infotainment display, with a Qualcomm Snapdragon SA8155 chip powering a Leapmotor OS 4.0 Plus operating system. Unlike the C10, the B10 gets Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity from the get-go.

    Available equipment for the B10 includes a 12-speaker Leapmotor sound system, a panoramic glass roof, single-zone climate control, 256-colour ambient lighting, wireless charger, a powered tailgate and Oeko-Tex faux leather upholstery on higher spec variants. Boot space is 420 litres, but folding down the rear seats brings the volume up to 1,415 litres.

    Higher-end variants feature a full ADAS suite with 26 functions, with a Qualcomm SA8650 driving chip being supported by an array of cameras, ultrasonic radars, millimetre wave radars and a roof-mounted lidar sensor. All versions also get automatic parking as standard.

    In China, launch prices for the B10 went from 109,800 to 139,800 yuan (about RM66,100 to RM84,200), pricing that suggests the SUV could be very competitive when it eventually gets here. It has already been earmarked for Malaysia via the CKD route, as indicated last week during the signing ceremony for the local assembly of Leapmotor models, which is set to begin with production of the C10 by the end of 2025.

    Leapmotor B10 in China – 31,688 bookings within 48 hours of pre-sales start; up to 600 km CLTC EV range

    Pre-sales of the Leapmotor B10 began on March 10, 2025 in China, and within 48 hours, the Stellantis-backed Chinese brand managed to secure over 31,688 bookings for the electric SUV. CarNewsChina reports the B10 secured over 15,010 pre-orders within the first hour alone.

    The B10, a C-segment SUV, made its debut at last year’s Paris Motor Show and slots in below the C10 which was launched in Malaysia last October. Pricing for the B10 ranges from 109,800 to 139,800 yuan (about RM67k to RM86k; pre-sale figures), and the company says the 510 LiDAR Self-Driving (loosely translated) emerged as the most popular variant, making up over 70% of total bookings.

    Five variants are offered in China, with the base variant sporting a rear electric motor rated at 179 PS (177 hp or 132 kW) and 175 Nm of torque – 0-100 km/h in 9.3 seconds. This is paired with a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery with an energy capacity of 56.2 kWh, which is good for a range of 510 km following China’s generous CLTC standard.

    All other variants get a more powerful electric motor with 218 PS (215 hp or 160 kW) and 240 Nm for a quicker century sprint time of 6.8 seconds. The uprated electric motor can be had with either a 56.2- (510 km range) or 67.1-kWh battery (600 km range), both using LFP chemistry.

    It takes about 4.2 hours to charge the smaller battery from 30-80%, or 5.6 hours for the larger battery. With an 800V electrical architecture, the B10 supports DC fast charging that can get the battery from 30-80% in either 19 (56.2 kWh battery) or 20 minutes (67.1 kWh battery).

    In terms of available equipment, the B10 can be had with an 8.8-inch digital instrument cluster, a 14.6-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 12-speaker sound system, a panoramic glass roof, single-zone climate control and 256-colour ambient lighting. Higher-end variants get a full ADAS suite with 26 functions, supported by an array of cameras, ultrasonic radars, millimetre wave radars and a roof-mounted lidar sensor.

  • Leapmotor B10 specs revealed for China ahead of launch – up to 218 PS; five-seat SUV rivals BYD Atto 3

    Leapmotor B10 specs revealed for China ahead of launch – up to 218 PS; five-seat SUV rivals BYD Atto 3

    Specifications for the Leapmotor B10 have been revealed in China a few months after the all-electric SUV made its debut at this year’s Paris Motor Show.

    The B10 slots in below the larger C10 and is about the size of a BYD Atto 3, measuring in at 4,515 mm long, 1,885 mm wide, 1,655 mm tall and with a wheelbase of 2,735 mm. It is a five-seat SUV that will be offered with two powertrain options, according to CarNewsChina.

    The first features an electric motor developing 179 PS (177 hp or 132 kW), enabling the B10 to get to a top speed of 170 km/h. A more powerful electric motor rated at 218 PS (215 hp or 160 kW) will also be available, which comes with a higher top speed of 170 km/h.

    The B10 is expected to go on sale in China next year with a price range of between 100,000 and 150,000 yuan (about RM61k and RM92k). It will also be launched in Europe later in 2025 with a price tag below 30,000 euros (RM140k), which is competitive when compared against the Atto 3 that costs around 35,000 euros (RM164k) in the region.

  • Leapmotor B10 debuts at 2024 Paris Motor Show

    Leapmotor B10 debuts at 2024 Paris Motor Show

    The Leapmotor B10 has officially made its debut at the 2024 Paris Motor Show, and this is a C-segment SUV that slots into the product line-up below the C10 that is a D-segment SUV offering, making it brand’s smallest model after the T03 city car.

    Underpinned by the manufacturer’s Leap 3.5 architecture, the B10 is the first to use the B-series platform that will form the basis of future Leapmotor models. The B10 has been designed to “meet the needs of tech-savvy, eco-conscious consumers looking for an electric vehicle that blends style, performance, and advanced technology,” according to Stellantis.

    Specific details on the B10 have yet to be disclosed officially, though current models in the Leapmotor product range offer a range-extender powertrain – where a combustion engine serves as a generator – in addition to a battery-electric setup, save for the T03 which is purely a BEV.

    In terms of styling, the Leapmotor B10 draws from the C10 in using a front fascia that resembles that of the larger model, though with the closed-off grille joining a pair of slimmer headlamps. At the rear, a full-width light bar connects the tail lamps, and bears more than a passing resemblance to the units on the fully electric Porsche Macan.

    Inside, the B10’s Leap 3.5 architecture enables the use of ADAS, a customisable digital cockpit and intelligent driving capabilities, says Leapmotor.

    According to Car News China, the Leapmotor B10 will be priced in China between 100,000 yuan to 150,000 yuan, or RM60,607 to RM90,898, though the carmaker has not stated pricing for the B10 in Europe or other markets. It stated that further B-series models will be launched in Europe in 2025.

    As mentioned, the B10 will be the Leapmotor’s first model from its B platform, and the brand will be launching thre new models from the B range next year, reported Car News China. Higher-end models from the range will also be equipped with lidar and AI intelligent driving chips, it added.

  • Leapmotor B10 teased ahead of Oct 14 debut in Paris

    Leapmotor B10 teased ahead of Oct 14 debut in Paris

    The Leapmotor B10 has been teased ahead of its official debut on October 14, 2024 at this year’s Paris Motor Show. Set to go on sale in China before making its way to global markets, the B10 is a compact SUV that could potentially rival the Kia EV3 as well as the BMW iX1.

    Based on the teaser images, design cues seen on the camouflaged B10 include a protruding nose, sculpted bonnet, short overhangs as well as flush door handles. Details are limited for now, but the company says the B10 will use a new B platform and its latest ‘Leap 3.5’ electrical architecture.

    Almost every Leapmotor electric vehicle (EV) on sale, aside from the T03 city car, is offered with a range-extender option (an engine acts as a generator), and the B10 is expected to follow suit. Again, the company isn’t giving too much away until next month, although it did say the B platform is an important part of its globalisation strategy.

    As stated the company, the B platform will underpin a variety of models set to be introduced in 2025 which the company says are designed to “meet the needs of different consumer groups for personalised and intelligent models.”

    In China, the Leapmotor line-up includes the T03, C01, C10, C11 and C16. From that bunch, the C10 and T03 have been officially launched in Europe on September 24, with the former set to be previewed to the Malaysian public this weekend – the T03 was shown here in May.
