Leapmotor B10 2026 arriving in November, set to undercut MG S5 and BYD Atto 3 rivals with $38,990 pricetag

---

Leapmotor has confirmed it will debut its B10 small electric SUV to the Australian market in November, with pricing to start from $38,990 drive-away for the entry model Style, and $41,990 drive-away for the range topping Design LR (long-range).

The sharp drive-away pricing for Leapmotor’s B10 undercuts better known rivals such as MG’s $40,490 S5 and BYD’s $39,990 Atto 3, as well as half-size larger $40,990 Geely EX5 and $49,990 Deepal S07. All prices shown are before on-road costs. 

At $38,990 drive-away (DA), the B10 Style is almost uncontested for the crown of Australia’s cheapest electric SUV, challenged only by the $38,990 DA Chery E5 — that car, released in August last year, and saw a $6000 price cut just five months later. 

And while the E5 can contend with the B10 in terms of peak power output, producing 150kW/340Nm to Leapmotor’s 160kW/240Nm, the B10’s ace in the hole is the prospect of rear-wheel drive, in addition to 91mm in overall length.

The Leapmotor B10 measures 4515mm long, 1885mm wide,1655mm tall, and drives on a 2735mm wheelbase. 

In base Style trim, the B10 is built on a new ‘Leap 3.5’ 800V electronic architecture platform, featuring a 56.2kWh LFP battery. It claims a range of 442km, albeit measured on the typically less accurate NEDC testing standards. 

AC charging peaks at 11kW, taking around six hours for a full-from-empty charge. DC charging peaks at 140kW, and takes a claimed 16 minutes to charge from 30 to 80 percent battery charge. (Overseas DC charging figures shown). 

Stand-out equipment on the base model B10 Style includes:

• 18-inch alloy wheels
• LED auto headlights
• Heated mirrors
• fixed panoramic glass roof with electric sunshade
• Fabric interior
• Automatic climate control
• LEAP Pilot driver assistance (includes adaptive cruise control)
• 8.8-inch LCD driver cluster
• 14.6-inch infotainment touchscreen
• Wireless device charger
• 360° camera
• Integrated dashcam
• Rear parking sensors

Fronting an additional $3000 steps to the range-topping $41,990 DA Leapmotor B10 Design, which utilises the same 160kW/240Nm single-motor rear-drive platform and 800V architecture, but with a larger 67.1kWh LFP battery, bumping range to 516km (NEDC).

AC charging remains capped at 11kW, now taking seven hours for a full-from-empty charge. Peak DC charging increases to 168kW, taking 20 minutes to charge from 30-80 percent. 

Standard equipment over the B10 Style includes: 

• “TechnoLeather” interior
• 6-way electric adjust heated and ventilated driver seat
• 4-way electric adjust heated and ventilated front passenger seat
• Heated steering wheel
• LED rear light bar
• Power folding mirrors
• Rain sensing wipers
• 12-speaker audio system
• Power tailgate
