The new Leapmotor B10Leapmotor has officially launched its new B10 compact electric SUV in Ireland, targeting one of the country’s most competitive passenger car segments.
It follows the introduction of the Chinese car brand to Ireland late last year. Leapmotor’s move into Europe is backed by the Stellantis Group who represents many of Europe’s most-loved car brands like Peugeot, Citroen and Opel.
The Leapmotor B10 arrives in Irish dealerships this month with pricing for Ireland starting from €32,984 including SEAI grant and VRT relief. It goes up against rivals such as the MGS5, Skoda Elroq and the Hyundai Kona, but offers a lot of style, space and equipment.
Two battery options and strong standard specification
Irish buyers will be offered two versions of the Leapmotor B10. The entry-level Style trim uses a 56.2kWh battery, delivering a claimed 361km WLTP driving range.
The higher-spec Design version is expected to be in demand among Irish buyers and features a larger 67.1kWh battery with a range of up to 434km WLTP. Prices for the Design trim start from €35,996, inclusive of incentives.
Both versions come with a heat pump, 11kW AC charging and 140/168kW DC fast charging, allowing a 30–80% charge in around 20 minutes.
Despite its competitive pricing, the B10 comes well equipped as standard. The Style model includes a panoramic glass roof, 18-inch alloy wheels, a 360-degree parking camera and lots of advanced driver assistance systems.
The Design trim adds features such as heated and ventilated front seats, ambient lighting, heated steering wheel and a powered bootlid.
The interior of the Leapmotor B10Inside the Leapmotor B10
The new B10 has a very minimalist interior with few buttons, but perceived quality is good. There’s a large Snapdragon-powered infotainment system, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto expected to arrive as an over-the-air update in January 2026.
Remote vehicle functions are also available through the Leapmotor smartphone app, for example pre-heating of the car and the battery before charging.
Safety is another strong point, with the B10 achieving a five-star Euro NCAP rating, following the larger C10 SUV which received the same score last year.
Leapmotor’s growing line-up of cars and SUVs
The new B10 joins the T03 and C10 in Leapmotor’s Irish line-up. However by the end of the year, the brand says it will have six models in dealer showrooms.
The brand has already confirmed new models for Europe in 2026, including the B03X compact SUV, B05 hatchback and a range-extender hybrid version of the B10, all unveiled earlier this month at the Brussels Motor Show. There’s also a new B-segment hatchback expected, though this hasn’t been named yet.
Leapmotor now has seven dealerships in Ireland, including locations in Dublin, Cork, Kildare, Meath and Galway.
All cars come with a six-year manufacturer’s warranty and eight-year battery warranty.
