Leapmotor B10: Stellantis announces the price of its affordable electric SUV

Offer a versatile electric car below € 30,000 seemed unrealistic a few years ago, but certain options now exist. Stellantis, for example, markets his Citroën Ë-C3 Aircross And Opel Frontera Electric From € 27,400 and € 29,000 respectively, excluding state aid.

These two proposals are not the most modern, however, taking up the low cost Smart car architecture and ignoring certain refinements. To offer an affordable electric SUV to the tastes of the day, Stellantis therefore focuses on his partnership With the Chinese manufacturer Leapmotor, the group of which already offered the Mini Citadine T03 and the C10 family SUV in Europe. From now on, it is the turn of the compact B10 SUV, 4.50 m long, to enter our market.

The B10 had been discovered on the occasion of the 2024 Auto World Cup in Paris, where it had been presented worldwide, testifying to its ambitions on the European market. Stellantis now announces the gradual launch of its marketing on the various markets of our continent, where it will be sold € 29,900.

At this rate, the Leapmotor B10 has a 56.2 kWh LFP battery offering 361 km of radius of action according to the WLTP protocol. An LFP battery version of 67.1 kWh for a 434 km WLTP autonomy will also be offered, but its price has not yet been announced. “The two support an AC 11 kW recharge and an ultra-fast DC charging up to 168 kW, allowing a recharge of 30 to 80 % in just 20 minutes”specifies Leapmotor.

The B10 is a rear engine propulsion model, which develops in its European version 218 hp and 240 Nm of torque, allowing it to go from 0 to 100 km/h in 8 s.

Only two finish levels are offered, with the B10 Life, which already offers a 14.6 -inch diagonal central screen, the panoramic roof or even 360 ° cameras, while the design model, notably adds the imitation leather, heated, ventilated and electrical settings at the front.

Chinese rivals, of course, but also European

Compared to Chinese competition, the B10 seems fairly well positioned. THE MGS5 EV For example, it is sold from € 32,490 and the byd Atto 3 from € 38,990.

However, European competition is far from dropped. If the Renault Scenic E-Tech is much more expensive, from € 41,990, it is eligible for the EEC premium which allows you to soften its price of up to € 4,240 according to income conditions and its smallest battery already offers 429 km of WLTP autonomy. But it is above all Škoda which is distinguished with its Elroq. The latter is offered from € 33,300, excluding EEC bonus, with WLTP autonomy of 370 km at the entrance. What to do more than resist in the face of Chinese competition.
