Leapmotor Drops Yet Another New Model As Global Expansion Accelerates

Stellantis-Backed Brand Keeps The Pressure On With Rapid-Fire EV Launches

Leapmotor isn’t slowing down—not even a little. Stellantis’ joint-venture partner continues to pump out new vehicles at a pace most automakers only dream about, and its latest reveal, the A10 (known globally as the B03X), shows the company is dead set on becoming a serious global player.

Unveiled during a dedicated preview event in Guangzhou, the A10 is the first product riding on Leapmotor’s brand-new global A-platform. The company is calling it a “smart premium long-range SUV,” but the real mission is pretty simple: prove that a reasonably-priced compact electric SUV doesn’t have to feel cheap, cramped, or low-tech. And honestly, they’re making a strong case.

Instead of starting with an existing model and adapting it, Leapmotor engineered the A10 (B03X) from a clean sheet to maximize cabin space and pack in its latest tech. At just over 4,200 mm long (165.3 inches), 1,800 mm wide (70.8 inches), and 1,600 mm tall (63 inches), it’s roughly the size of a small crossover in the U.S. market. But with a wheelbase stretching past 2,600 mm (102.3 inches), the interior space is closer to what you’d expect from a class up. The whole idea is to deliver maneuverability for tight city streets without forcing customers to live with a cramped cabin.

Performance targets are practical and commuter-focused. Power comes from an ultra-high-density LFP battery pack delivering up to 500 km of range on the CLTC cycle—roughly 310 miles in more familiar U.S. terms. Built on Leapmotor’s latest LEAP architecture, the A10 includes door-to-door advanced driver assistance, an AI-powered cockpit experience, and full over-the-air update capability designed to add features and improvements throughout the vehicle’s life.

Design-wise, the A10 (B03X) keeps things clean and modern: six global paint choices, 18-inch wheels, semi-hidden door handles, a floating-roof look, and what Leapmotor calls its “smile” lighting signature—basically a soft, friendly front-end look intended to stand out in crowded EV markets.

The target buyer? Leapmotor says it’s going after practical households looking for a second vehicle with real comfort and tech, as well as first-time EV shoppers moving up from gas-powered compact cars. The pitch is simple: premium feel, innovative features, and real space—without the premium price tag.

If Leapmotor keeps up this pace, the rest of the industry won’t be able to ignore them much longer.

One of the Chrysler executives has subcontracted Rivian engineers and programmers for an ongoing EV project. Even though Rivian's financials aren't that bright from their vehicle sales, they can make money on their R&D capability. Oh wait, Chris Barmen doesn't work at Auburn Hills anymore, she is the CEO of Slate.

Now concerning Leapmotor, I still think they should be called in for the Chrysler Halcyon development. Let all the styling inside and out be done by Auburn Hills people, but then use Leap's talent for batteries and e-motors. I wouldn't use Leapmotor's EREV setup either, BYD's system is better and is probably that Magna system built in China.
