Leapmotor Adds EREV B10 in Australia and Previews Bigger‑Battery C10 in China

The company is offering a series‑hybrid B10 with the same prices as its battery‑only model to tackle range concerns and sharpen its technical position in a crowded small‑SUV market.

Overview

Leapmotor has launched the B10 'Hybrid EV' in Australia priced the same as the pure‑electric B10 at $37,888 (Style) and $40,888 (Design) before on‑road costs.
The B10 Hybrid EV uses an 18.8kWh lithium‑iron phosphate (LFP) battery and a 1.5‑litre petrol engine that works only as a generator, giving 84km of WLTP electric range and about 900km combined range.
Unusual for the class, the B10 Hybrid EV is rear‑wheel drive with multi‑link rear suspension and a 160kW/240Nm electric motor, and it supports AC charging to 6.6kW and DC to 46kW.
Leapmotor backs the B10 Hybrid with a six‑year/150,000km vehicle warranty, an eight‑year/160,000km battery warranty, eight years of roadside assistance, and a 500‑order promotional pack that includes a 7kW wallbox, V2L cable, premium paint and three years of servicing.
Separately, Leapmotor has previewed a refreshed C10 in China that moves EV variants to an 81.9kWh LFP pack with longer CLTC ranges, but Australian deliveries for both C10 and B10 remain modest compared with established rivals so these changes are aimed at improving competitiveness.
