B10 is first of a new model series and highlights Leapmotor’s growth ambitions for Europe
Stellantis-led JV Leapmotor International has announced the global premier of its B10 electric SUV at the Paris Motor Show. It is the first model in its upcoming B-series and it says the launch marks a critical milestone in Leapmotor’s global expansion.
Zhu Jiangming, Founder of Leapmotor, introduced the B10 during the event, emphasising its significance as Leapmotor’s first global model. “The B10 embodies our vision for an electric future—offering not only superior performance and smart connectivity, but also making that future accessible to consumers worldwide,” Zhu said.
The B10 C-SUV is built on Leapmotor’s LEAP 3.5 architecture, a highly integrated platform that it sys provides many ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) features, a customisable digital cockpit, and intelligent driving capabilities.
Tianshu Xin, CEO of Leapmotor International, emphasized Leapmotor’s ambitious global strategy during the unveiling. He said: “Leapmotor International may be a start-up, but it’s a start-up with two incredibly strong parents. One brings innovation and competitive pricing to the table, while the other—through our partnership with Stellantis—offers powerful global resources and an unmatched service infrastructure. Together, we are able to offer consumers products like the B10, which combine cutting-edge technology with affordability.”
The B10 represents the first of a number of upcoming models that will be launched as part of Leapmotor’s B-series, designed specifically for global markets. It says the new C-SUV is targeted at younger consumers seeking a vehicle that offers not only advanced technology and connectivity but also strong environmental credentials at a competitive price.

As of September 23rd, Leapmotor has already commenced sales in Europe, with over 200 dealers across 13 countries.
