Stellantis Confirms Launch of Model Still in 2025 and Price Should Hover Around R$ 250 Thousand

Leapmotor, a Chinese brand in which Stellantis is the majority shareholder, has just confirmed the arrival of the electric SUV B10 in Brazil. The model will arrive in the second half of 2025, alongside the already announced C10, with the mission to compete in the mid-sized electric SUVs sold in the country, such as the BYD Yuan Plus and the Geely EX5, according to the Auto Esporte website.

Mid-Sized SUV Focused on Technology and Cost-Effectiveness

Originally presented at the Paris Motor Show, the Leapmotor B10 has started to be sold in China recently and has a size similar to that of the Jeep Compass, measuring 4.52 meters in length and 2.74 meters in wheelbase. The trunk holds 420 liters and the wheels are 18 inches. The automaker’s proposal is to offer an electric SUV with good interior space, embedded technology, and a competitive price compared to Chinese rivals.

Electric Powertrain and Up to 460 km of Range

The Leapmotor B10 will be offered with a rear electric motor of 218 hp and 24.5 kgfm of torque. There will be two battery options:

  • 56.2 kWh, with a range of up to 380 km
  • 67.1 kWh, with a range of up to 460 km
    (values according to the CLTC cycle, used in China)

This configuration positions it as one of the models with the best cost-effectiveness in range within its price range.

Estimated Price and New Strategy from Stellantis

Although the official price has yet to be disclosed, the expectation is that the Leapmotor B10 will be launched for around R$ 250 thousand, a value influenced by the reintroduction of the import tax on electric vehicles starting in July. In China, the model costs between 110,000 and 140,000 yuan — the equivalent of R$ 87 thousand to R$ 113 thousand in direct conversion.

Stellantis bets on Leapmotor as a new front for electrification in Brazil, after limited experiences with the Fiat 500e and Peugeot e-208. The strategy includes hybrid dealerships: some shared with brands like Jeep and Fiat, others exclusive to the new brand.

Besides the B10, the C10 SUV will also be launched here, including 100% electric and EREV versions, with an internal combustion engine used solely as a generator, aimed at consumers seeking greater range.
