Leapmotor B10 Design Patent Filed in India as Stellantis Eyes Market Entry

The filing signals Stellantis is preparing a Leapmotor entry via its India plant and dealer network.

Overview

  • Leapmotor has filed a design patent for the B10 compact SUV in India, which signals preparation for entry but does not confirm a launch.
  • Stellantis said in 2025 it would bring Leapmotor to India as a fourth brand, and the B10 is among the models under review with global pricing targets under €30,000.
  • Plans reported by both outlets point to a Stellantis-led Leapmotor International rollout using CKD kits assembled at the Ranjangaon plant with sales through existing dealers, though timing remains unannounced.
  • International versions feature EV and range‑extender options plus a tech‑heavy cabin with a 14.6‑inch touchscreen, an 8.8‑inch driver display, wireless phone mirroring, and Level 2 driver aids with 17 functions.
  • Autocar reports the B10 EV earned a Euro NCAP five‑star rating in 2025, while India‑specific specifications, pricing, and safety ratings have not been detailed.
