Leapmotor prices new B10 hybrid electric vehicle
Joining the C10 Hybrid EV, the B10 Hybrid EV is the next model in Leapmotor's South African line-up.
Leapmotor has announced the pricing for its new B10 hybrid electric vehicle, positioning it as a compact SUV that delivers the performance and enjoyment of an electric vehicle while providing motorists with an impressive range. By incorporating REEV (Range Extended Electric Vehicle) technology, the B10 offers a unique approach to hybrid systems by ensuring the electric motor is always in charge, with the 1.5 litre combustion engine only powering the vehicle when necessary to extend the driving range.
The B10 features an 18.8kWh battery and a claimed pure electric range of up to 86km, making it well-suited for daily journeys. However, the inclusion of the range extender allows the vehicle to achieve a combined range of up to 900km, significantly reducing the need for charging on long trips.
The vehicle is equipped with advanced technology and safety features, including a 14.6-inch 2.5K HD central touchscreen, a modern digital interface, and a high level of comfort and convenience equipment. In terms of safety, the B10 includes seven airbags, 17 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), and a five-star safety rating from Euro NCAP.
A Leapmotor App is also integrated into the B10, allowing users to stay connected to their vehicle through their smartphone, enabling them to remotely lock or unlock the vehicle, activate the air conditioning, check battery levels, monitor driving statistics, schedule charging sessions, and receive software updates over the air.
The B10 Hybrid EV Style starts at R499 900, while the B10 Hybrid EX Design is priced at R549 900. Leapmotor South Africa welcomes orders starting from 8 August 2026, and customers can register their interest and book a test drive on the company's website.
