The Leapmotor B10 electric SUV has received updates in China featuring expanded battery options, an 800-volt platform on select variants, improved driving range and upgraded interior technology, all while keeping the entry price unchanged.

Leapmotor's top-selling model in Australia, the five-door B10 small SUV - comparable in dimensions and cost to the MG S5 EV and BYD Atto 2 - arrived locally in 2025 as a rear-wheel-drive battery-electric vehicle with a single motor.

The B10 Hybrid EV joined Australian dealerships last month, yet the recent Chinese revisions apply only to the pure EV version so far, bringing several technology improvements that have not been verified for local release.

These revisions give the base Chinese variant, matching the Australian Style model from $42,980 drive-away, increased power of 180kW and 255Nm compared with the prior 160kW/240Nm.

It now includes a 60.8kWh lithium iron phosphate battery instead of the previous 56.2kWh pack, boosting claimed range by 30km to 540km on the CLTC cycle.

The current Australian B10 Style achieves 361km under the stricter WLTP standard, so the CLTC gain would likely translate to roughly 20km extra WLTP range.

Acceleration improves as well, with the 0-100km/h time dropping from 8.0 seconds to 6.6 seconds.

The mid-level B10 retains the original 400-volt setup, while upper Chinese grades switch to an 800-volt architecture. These versions feature a 69.7kWh LFP battery versus the earlier 67.1kWh unit, delivering up to 610km CLTC range for a 10km increase.

The 800-volt system shortens 30-80 per cent DC fast charging to 16 minutes, versus 21 minutes on 400-volt models.

The top Chinese variant also gains 185kW and 260Nm, cutting the 0-100km/h sprint to 6.4 seconds, which is 1.1 seconds faster than the 7.5-second figure for the Australian B10 Design flagship.

The cabin now features a 17.3-inch 3K central touchscreen replacing the prior 14.6-inch 2.5K unit, paired with a revised 8.8-inch digital cluster and a 55-inch augmented-reality head-up display.

Standard equipment such as the 360-degree camera and panoramic glass roof carries over from current Australian models.

The Chinese flagship continues to offer LiDAR supporting advanced driver assistance features including adaptive cruise, lane-change assist and rear autonomous emergency braking.

In Australia, Leapmotor issued an over-the-air update for the B10 in February 2026 that refined ADAS operation and added one-pedal driving along with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

The B10 remains the brand's strongest seller, representing about two-thirds of Leapmotor Australia's volume from January to June 2026 and outselling the larger C10 SUV amid a 152.1 per cent year-on-year sales rise.
