Leapmotor unveils its new B10 SUV in Paris, aimed at the European market

At the Paris Motor Show, Leapmotor has just unveiled the B10, the new electric SUV from the Chinese manufacturer that we will soon find in its catalogue of vehicles for the European market, joining the two models already on sale: the T03 and the C10.

The B10 is a C-segment SUV designed for global markets, including Europe, and its commercialisation is planned to begin next year. However, for the time being no specific date has been revealed, nor whether it will go on sale first in the Chinese market.

This model is based on the LEAP 3.5 architecture and with it Leapmotor aims to offer a combination of style, performance and advanced technology. For now, the B10 will only be offered as a fully electric vehicle, although it cannot be ruled out that in the future there could also be a version that is likewise electric, but with a range extender, probably intended for the Chinese market.

It won’t come alone

Leapmotor states that the B10 is only the first of a series of models that will be marketed under the B line, which includes two more that will debut in 2025. These high-end models will be equipped with LiDAR and an intelligent driving system based on artificial intelligence, according to some Chinese media.

In China, the B10 will be available at a price expected to be around 100,000 yuan, which at the current exchange rate would amount to roughly 13,000 euros. Although this remains an estimate, since the manufacturer has not yet officially commented on the matter.

As we already mentioned at the beginning of this article, Leapmotor already offers the C10 electric SUV and the smaller T03 in Europe. The company began accepting orders for these two models on the European market at the end of last September, and the first deliveries are expected to take place this same month of October.

SUVs of every size

Alongside the B10, the company has already announced its intention to also market a fourth electric model in its range in Europe, the C16. It is an SUV with more generous dimensions and three rows of seats, which was already presented in China last January. With a length of 4.92 metres and a wheelbase of 2.83 metres, this model offers ample interior space with configurations of up to six seats, with two of them per row.

The C16 features an 800-volt architecture, which allows it to support a maximum direct-current charging power of up to 180 kW. In this way, the Chinese manufacturer promises that it will be possible to increase the state of charge from 30 to 80 percent in just 15 minutes.
