Leapmotor B10: electric crossover, versions and what to know before buying
The Leapmotor B10 is a compact electric crossover that debuted at the Paris Motor Show in 2024 and will go on sale in Europe from 2025. In this article, we take a look at its technology, trims and the key points to consider when hunting for a used B10.
The B10 in brief
The B10 is the first Leapmotor model in the C series and the first to feature the new LEAP 3.5 architecture. The car is over 4.5m long, with a 420-litre boot and a glass roof. The interior is dominated by a 14.6-inch touchscreen, alongside an 8.8-inch digital instrument cluster.
The B10 was awarded a five-star Euro NCAP rating in autumn 2025. From 2025, the B10 will be sold in Europe, and in 2026, a long-range hybrid version with an internal combustion engine acting as a generator will be introduced.
B10 versions – what’s the difference?
The pure electric B10 has a rear-wheel-drive electric motor and two batteries. In Europe, a more powerful engine version – around 218hp (160kW) – is available with a larger and smaller battery.
A separate version is the extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) hybrid: a 1.5-litre petrol engine charges an 18.8kWh battery, with up to 86km of electric range according to WLTP. Additionally, in 2026, a limited run of 500 units of the ‘Dynamic’ series will be created in collaboration with Irmscher.
Engines and batteries
The B10's electric batteries are lithium iron phosphate (LFP): 56.2 kWh and 67.1 kWh. The manufacturer states a WLTP range of around 361 km and 434 km. Fast DC charging capacity is up to 140 kW with the smaller battery and up to 168 kW with the larger, with AC charging up to 11 kW.
A single electric motor drives the rear axle. In the European version, its power is around 218 hp, with a 0-100 km/h time of about 8 seconds and a top speed of around 170 km/h. Real-world range in cold weather and on the motorway depends on battery size and driving speed.
What to check when buying a used B10
Since the B10 is a new model, there aren't many used ones around. The most important thing is the battery condition: ask for a diagnostic report and check how the car was charged. Ensure the car is intended for the European market and how much warranty is left.
Check the software: some features (e.g., Apple CarPlay and Android Auto) were added in later updates. Test all driver assistance systems, cameras, and charging port, and inspect for any body damage.
