Leapmotor, the Great Curiosity of the Mondial

Leapmotor, the new Sino-French gem of the Stellantis Group, arrives in Paris with 4 models and big ambitions.

For its first official participation in the Paris Motor Show, Leapmotor makes a grand entry with 4 models covering a broad spectrum. This strategic 51/49 partnership, led by Stellantis, aims to increase global sales of its high-tech, affordable new energy vehicles from China while leveraging Stellantis’s resources and business expertise.

The new B10, a mid-sized SUV that is set to enter the international market, will have its world premiere at the Paris stand, alongside the C16 with 6 seats, making its first appearance at a European event. The Leapmotor stand will also feature the C10, a large electric SUV designed for families, and the T03, a compact and spacious electric city car, perfect for urban driving.

The T03, a five-door compact city car offering a range of 265 km under the WLTP cycle, and the large SUV C10 need no introduction. Both models meet European standards but may not be very competitive in terms of features and range.

Unveiled for the first time in Paris, the new B10 represents a key milestone for the brand’s growth in Europe. Equipped with the LEAP 3.5 architecture, the B10 introduces advanced technology tailored for a new generation of global consumers seeking new energy vehicles. But is it electric, hybrid, or both? The answer will be revealed tomorrow. The C16, measuring 4,915 mm in length, is designed to provide a spacious 6-seat interior in a 2+2+2 configuration to meet family needs. The C16 features an 800V high-voltage battery, significantly improving the vehicle’s overall efficiency and supporting a charging power of up to 180 kW, allowing the battery to recharge from 30% to 80% in 15 minutes.
