Yesterday, Leapmotor and joint venture partner Stellantis B10 SUV electric car at the Paris Motor Show. The starting price for this new car will reportedly be between $14,000 and $21,000 (although there’s no word yet on US availability). This marks Chinese automaker Leapmotor’s latest foray into markets outside of China, and it looks like this EV could sell well globally due to its low price tag.
The B10 SUV is Leapmotor’s first B-Series EV, and it uses the company’s LEAP 3.5 architecture, promising smart features aimed at tech-savvy customers. However, the B10 SUV will first go on sale in China before reaching European customers. As reported It will sell for between RMB 100,000 ($14,110) and RMB 150,000 ($21,070).
Leapmotor isn’t the most popular brand outside of China, but having Stellantis, the world’s fourth-largest automaker, backing it gives Leapmotor even more credibility. The company first sold cars in the European market in September this year and has 200 dealers in 13 countries. It plans to increase the number of European dealers to 500 by the end of 2025, marking the beginning of a push into the European market.
