Stellantis has officially opened the order books for Leapmotor B10 in Malaysia. The new electric SUV is the brand’s second offering in Malaysia after the C10, which was launched in our market last October.
Leapmotor B10 was first introduced at the Paris Motor Show 2024 before making its way to China in early April. Stellantis then began releasing the electric SUV into the global market from late July onwards, starting with European markets.
Leapmotor B10 Malaysia Estimated Pricing, Early Bird Package
According to promotional images on Leapmotor Malaysia’s website, the B10 will be released in Malaysia with an estimated pricing of RM110,000 to RM120,000. The C-segment electric SUV is expected to be launched in Malaysia sometime in December, although it is unclear at the moment whether the new EV is going to be released here as imported (CBU) or locally assembled (CKD) vehicle.
If you are interested in reserving your units, you can now book the B10 for just RM80 by visiting any Leapmotor dealerships nationwide. Alternatively, you can also register your interest on Leapmotor Malaysia’s website and have the dealership get in touch with you.
The first 200 customers for B10 will receive the Early Bird Promotion package, which is valued at RM8,000. Stellantis did not provide in-depth details regarding the package, but it will feature cash rebates alongside a free wallbox charger or service packages.
Leapmotor B10 Quick Specs
Physically, the Leapmotor B10 is noticeably shorter than the C10 since its length is listed as 4.5m compared to the latter, which is 4.7m long. The B10 also has a shorter wheelbase at 2.7m versus the C10’s 2.8m.
Here are their dimensions when put next to each other:
Leapmotor B10
- Dimensions: 4,515mm (Length) x 1,885mm (Weight) x 1,655mm (Height)
- Wheelbase: 2,735mm
- Kerb weight: 1,780kg – 1,845kg
Leapmotor C10
- Dimensions: 4,739mm x 1,900mm x 1,680mm
- Wheelbase: 2,825mm
- Kerb weight: 1,980kg
Featuring a rear-wheel drive (RWD) setup as well as MacPherson front struts and multilink rear suspension, the B10 is equipped with a 160kW (215hp) motor that also produces 240Nm of torque. The electric SUV can go from 0 to 100km/h in 8 seconds and has a top speed of 170km/h.
According to the brochure that we stumbled on Leapmotor Malaysia’s website, the B10 can be obtained with two LFP-based battery configurations: the 56.2kWh Pro and 67.1kWh Pro Max. The brochure also claimed that B10 with Pro battery can deliver up to 361km of WLTP-rated range, while the variant with Pro Max battery can go much further at up to 434km.
The DC charging speed for B10 also depends on its battery capacities, as the B10 variant with the Pro battery can support up to 140kW while the Pro Max version can go as high as 168kW. That being said, their 30% – 80% charging time is similar at 20 minutes according to the brochure.
At the same time, all B10 have been fitted with an 11kW AC charging module. It takes around 2.5 to 3 hours to charge its battery from 30% to 80% via AC charging, depending on the battery capacity.
Even though the SUV have two battery options, the brochure noted that there are three variants of B10 altogether. The first two variants are essentially the B10 Life trim with either Pro or Pro Max battery, while the third option is the higher-end B10 Design trim, which is only available with the Pro Max battery.
The B10 Life includes an 8.8-inch digital instrument panel, a 14.6-inch 2.5K infotainment display, a 6-speaker audio system, and fabric seats. On the other hand, B10 Design comes with additional features such as eco-leather seats, power front seats, ambient light, automatic folding mirrors, electric tailgate, privacy glass for rear windows and windshield, a 12-speaker audio system, and rain-sensing wipers.
All B10 features 25L frunk, 430L (1,700L expanded) boot space, panoramic sunroof and electric sunshade alongside 18-inch alloy wheels with 225/50 front and 235/50 rear tyres. The SUV also carries 7 airbags and a 360-degree camera system, together with a fully-loaded Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) that provides these features:
- Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
- Lane Centring Control (LCC)
- Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)
- Emergency Lane Keeping Assist (ELKA)
- Traffic Jam Assist (TJA)
- Advanced Emergency Braking (AEB)
- Front Collision Warning (FCW)
- Rear Collision Warning (RCW)
- Doors Open Warning (DOW)
- Rear Cross Traffic Braking (RCTB)
- Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
- Blind Spot Detection (BSD)
Unlike C10, the B10 does support Android Auto and Apple CarPlay (AACP). However, the AACP feature will not be available at launch, but instead, it will be delivered through an Over-The-Air (OTA) update sometime in January 2026, according to the brochure.
The B10 Early Bird Package section on Leapmotor Malaysia’s website stated that the SUV can be obtained with Starry Night Blue, Dawn Purple, Tundra Grey, Light White, and Metallic Black colourways. There is also another colour called Galaxy Silver, according to the brochure.
The brochure also stated that the B10 Life trim comes with a Grey interior, while you can choose either Light-Grey or Shadow Grey for the B10 Design. However, the B10 Early Bird Package section did not list the interior colours for the SUV.
Leapmotor B10 vs Other Mainstream Electric SUVs in Malaysia
When you compare the B10’s physical dimensions to those of other mainstream electric SUVs, it is the third-longest model in its class, after the Proton e.MAS 7 and GAC Aion Y Plus. Leapmotor’s offering might be the heaviest model in its class, but the B10 with the 67.1kWh Pro Max battery still can deliver the longest WLTP-rated range among its peers.
In terms of performance, the B10 has the most powerful electric motor in its class – similar to the e.MAS 7. However, its counterpart from Proton is much quicker as e.MAS 7’s 150kW motor produces more torque than the one fitted into B10.
When C10 was launched in Malaysia, many deemed its 89kW DC charging speed as one of its weaknesses when compared to other competitors. This doesn’t apply to the B10 because it can support twice the DC charging speed of C10 at 168kW, which is also the fastest DC charging speed among mainstream electric SUVs in Malaysia at the moment.
All the things we mentioned above are just comparisons between specs sheet figures, though. There is more to an EV than just numbers, and we certainly need some hands-on time with the B10 before we can give it any verdict. So, let’s hope that we will get such an opportunity soon enough.
