Stellantis Malaysia has introduced the Leapmotor B10 to the local market, marking another strategic push into the electric SUV segment. The model arrives not long after the C10 and builds on the global partnership between Stellantis and Leapmotor International, a joint venture aimed at distributing advanced and cost-efficient EVs across more than 20 countries by the end of next year. Its arrival coincides with a strong period for the brand, which recently crossed its one-million-unit milestone and reported more than 70,000 deliveries in November alone.
Two versions of the B10 are available at launch, known as LIFE and DESIGN, and the differences begin with the battery packs. The LIFE runs on a 56.2 kWh unit, while the DESIGN variant carries a larger 67.1 kWh pack. Both cars support an 11 kW on-board charger with matching AC charging capability. Their DC performance varies, however, with the LIFE accepting up to 140 kW and the DESIGN topping out at 168 kW.
This allows a 30% to 80% recharge to be completed in under 20 minutes. The driving range reflects the size difference: the LIFE variant manages 361km on the WLTP cycle, while the DESIGN stretches this to 434km WLTP. Both also come with a 3.3 kW V2L output, enabling the vehicle to power external devices when needed.
The B10 sits on the new LEAP3.5 platform, which fuses the battery pack into the chassis as one integrated structure. Developed with the help of Stellantis’ Chassis Master division, the Cell-to-Chassis 2.0+ approach gives the SUV a low centre of gravity, a well-balanced 50:50 weight distribution and a torsional rigidity rating of 36,360 Nm per degree. These ingredients help deliver a more settled and composed driving experience.
A compact 60 kg Electric Drive assembly contributes to a total weight reduction of over 20 kg and operates at 94% efficiency with a power density of 2.67 kW per kilogram. The setup includes an LFP battery and an AI-assisted motor management system designed to maintain long-term health, safety and performance.
Power comes from a 218hp unit producing 240Nm of torque, giving the B10 a 0–100 km/h time of around eight seconds. The 400-volt fast-charging system, operating at 2.5C, enables swift recharging, and the WLTP range of up to 434km makes it a practical option for everyday use. The thermal management system uses liquid cooling for the battery and oil cooling for the motor, ensuring consistent performance in Malaysia’s high heat and humidity.
Visually, the B10 adopts a clean, modern design language. The body features smooth surfacing, a distinctive cloud-like waistline and fenders shaped to resemble a planetary ring. Split LED headlamps sit below chequered daytime running lights, and frameless door handles help the SUV achieve a drag coefficient of 0.265. A full-width Wing Star LED taillight bar defines the rear. The SUV measures 4,515 mm in length, 1,885 mm in width and 1,655 mm in height, with a 2,735 mm wheelbase and 170 mm ground clearance.
The cabin centres around the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 processor, paired with up to 16 GB of RAM and an Adreno 640 GPU. A 14.6-inch display running Leap OS 4.0 Plus takes care of infotainment, with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support scheduled for January 2026. An 8.8-inch instrument panel, 360-degree camera suite and remote app-based controls come standard.
Cabin space measures 2,390 mm, with good headroom and thoughtfully selected materials. The DESIGN variant adds silicone textile upholstery certified to OEKO-Tex Standard 100 and detailed stitching work. Both front seats are power adjustable and ventilated, while the floating centre console offers wireless charging and abundant storage. A total of 22 storage compartments are located around the cabin. Boot space is rated at 430 litres, expandable to 1,700 litres with the seats folded, alongside an additional 25-litre frunk.
Safety has been a strong area for the B10, earning a 5-star Euro NCAP rating with 93% scores for adult and child protection. Seven airbags are fitted as standard, backed by Level 2 driver assistance that includes Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Centring, automatic emergency braking, Blind Spot Detection, Traffic Jam Assist and fatigue monitoring, all powered by 12 sensors and 17 active systems.
The B10 is offered in two trims: the LIFE variant priced at RM107,800 and the DESIGN at RM118,800, each with its own interior theme. Early adopters—limited to the first 200 buyers—will receive launch rebates of up to RM8,000 for the LIFE and RM9,000 for the DESIGN. Colour choices include Metallic Black, Light White, Tundra Grey, Dawn Purple and Starry Night Blue, the latter inspired by Van Gogh’s Starry Night Over the Rhone.
The SUV is covered by a six-year/150,000 km vehicle warranty and an eight-year/160,000 km battery warranty, with service intervals set at 20,000 km or one year. By combining strong engineering credentials with competitive pricing and modern features, the Leapmotor B10 enters Malaysia as a confident new entry in the electric SUV market—positioning itself as a serious contender in a rapidly expanding segment.
