At the 2024 Paris Motor Show, many European local brands did not participate. On the contrary, many independent brands from China competed to exhibit their latest products in Paris. Especially for new energy vehicles, since the competitiveness of Chinese brand new energy vehicles ranks among the top in the world, Chinese automakers are now going out to explore a broader market. At this auto show, Leapmotor brought its new model B10. The new car is positioned as a compact SUV and will be launched globally next year. Today, let's take a look at some forward-looking information about the Leapmotor B10 model.
Appearance design
Leapmotor B10 adopts a fully enclosed front face design, and the opening at the lower end of the front bumper is used to dissipate heat for the battery. The top of the front face adopts a through-type LED headlight design and integrates daytime running lights. The headlights are independently located below the daytime running lights. The front face design of the whole vehicle is still very coordinated, but it is really highly similar to the Ideal brand, which has caused some controversy. On the side of the body of the Leapmotor B10, a waistline is designed to run through the body directly to the rear of the car, and a hidden door handle design is adopted. The tail of the Leapmotor B10 also adopts a through-type taillight design, which echoes the headlights. Below the taillight is the English LEAPMOTOR of Leapmotor, and the taillight is similar to the Porsche Macan.
Interior configuration
The interior of the Leapmotor B10 also adopts the family design style of Leapmotor, but the instrument panel is smaller and adopts an integrated design bound to the steering column. The central armrest adopts a floating design, coupled with the design of the large-size central screen of the center console, which has a bit of MPV style. In terms of configuration, the Leapmotor B10 uses the 8295 smart cockpit chip to ensure basic chip computing power. In terms of intelligent assisted driving, the Leapmotor B10 is equipped with laser radar and the new 8650 intelligent driving chip, which has high-level NOA capabilities.
Powertrain
The Leapmotor B10 adopts the new LEAP3.5 technical architecture. Unlike the previous C platform series models, the B platform is a completely pure electric platform and does not provide extended range power. In addition, the all-in-one electric drive system and CTB battery chassis integration technology will also be used on the Leapmotor B10. Since Leapmotor is also a partner of France's Stellantis Automotive Company, the chassis of Leapmotor B10 was also tuned by the Maserati team. It is believed that the current situation of backward chassis control of Leapmotor C platform can be changed.
Summary and Outlook
The launch of Leapmotor B10 is the global debut of Leapmotor B platform. In the future, Leapmotor will form four vehicle platforms, ABCD. The A platform will be an upgrade of the existing T platform to focus on the small car market. The B platform is more like a pure electric transformation and upgrade of the C platform. The D platform is a high-end platform, which will launch larger models to focus on the high-priced market. After this set of combined punches, it can be said that Leapmotor has truly established a firm foothold. Leapmotor B10 will be launched at the beginning of next year, focusing on the 100,000-150,000 yuan market. The B platform also plans 3 models to continue to focus on the 100,000-200,000 yuan market segment.
