Leapmotor begins sales in Europe of the B10 SUV from €29,900

The compact electric B10 SUV from Leapmotor is already on sale in some European countries, where orders have been open since 30 July. With a starting price of €29,900, the B10 SUV positions itself as one of the most competitive alternatives in its segment. Compared with other vehicles from Stellantis, Leapmotor’s partner in Europe, the electric Opel Grandland, for example, has a base price considerably higher, starting at around €46,000. Although it is also true that its dimensions are somewhat larger and, therefore, so is its interior space.

The B10 sits in the brand’s European range just one step below the C10, a mid-size SUV priced from €36,500. Just below that, we find the T03, a small vehicle aimed at urban traffic.

Based on the LEAP 3.5 platform, the B10 measures 4.52 metres long, 1.89 wide and 1.66 high, with a wheelbase of 2.74 metres. Its dimensions are quite similar to those of the BYD Atto 3, its main rival, but at a noticeably lower price, since in Spain the Atto 3 starts at around €38,000.

Few offer more for less

For €29,900 in those European markets where it is on sale, the B10 includes a 56.2 kWh LFP battery pack, with an unofficial estimated WLTP range of 361 km. Higher versions can also be fitted with a larger 67.1 kWh battery pack, with which up to 434 km can be covered on a single charge. Both batteries allow fast charging at a maximum power of 168 kW, making it possible to increase the state of charge from 30 to 80 per cent in just 20 minutes.

It should also be noted that, unlike the Chinese version, available since last April, the base European model has a 132 kW motor with 175 Nm of torque, while the higher versions reach 160 kW with 240 Nm of torque. In Europe the B10 is offered in two trim levels: Life and Design. The first includes a panoramic roof, 18-inch wheels, a 360-degree camera and a comprehensive suite of driver assistance systems; the second additionally adds heated, ventilated and electrically adjustable “eco-leather” seats for the front occupants, as well as ambient lighting.

The B10’s interior stands out for its spaciousness and its comprehensive equipment, with a 14.6-inch touchscreen with 2.5K resolution for the infotainment system, powered by a Snapdragon 8155 chip. Compatibility with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is also planned and will arrive via an OTA update before the end of the year.

Made in Spain… possibly

Although the manufacturer has not yet confirmed where the B10 units for the European market will be produced, some signs point to the Figueruelas plant in Zaragoza (Spain) being the one responsible for its assembly from 2026. Until then, the units sold will probably be imported from China.
