Overview
- Leapmotor put the B10 and C10 on sale in Argentina with Stellantis providing commercial and after‑sales support, a launch first reported on Sunday and backed by local dealers now taking preorders.
- Both models use REEV architecture where an electric motor always drives the wheels and a 1.5L petrol engine works only as a generator to recharge the battery when needed.
- Leapmotor advertises the B10 with an 18.8 kWh battery and about 95 km electric range and the C10 with a 28.4 kWh battery and about 150 km electric range, with combined NEDC claims above 900 km and 1,000 km respectively.
- Stellantis confirmed it will adapt Leapmotor’s generator‑only system to run with Brazilian‑made flex‑fuel engines so the REEV architecture can be integrated into future models produced in Brazil.
- Leapmotor confirmed the larger three‑row C16 will arrive in Argentina in 2027 and the joint venture structure (Stellantis 51%, Leapmotor 49%) gives Stellantis regional control to speed distribution, dealership support and wider rollout.
