Leapmotor B10 2026 Video Review

Remember Blade, Marvel’s daywalking vampire hunter with all of his enemy’s strengths and none of their weaknesses? No? Just me?

Either way, my superhero point here is that is exactly what Leapmotor is trying to achieve with its B10 electric small SUV, which promises all of the strengths of a Chinese car (sharp pricing, heaps of equipment, solid battery tech and plenty of value) without — and I’m generalising here — the biggest weakness when it comes to most vehicles from the People's Republic, which is a drive experience wrapped in big, soft, depressing blanket of beige.

The B10, says Leapmotor, has leant heavily on joint-venture-partner Stellantis’ European roots to deliver a Chinese car that doesn’t drive like a Chinese car. It was tested and tuned at the group’s Balocco Proving Ground in Italy, for example. It also delivers a perfect 50:50 weight distribution and has its electric motor (160kW and 240Nm) mounted at the rear axle for sportier-feeling rear-wheel drive.
