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:

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.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

SpaceX will dock a $843 million vehicle to the International Space Station to push a nearly 420-ton laboratory against the atmosphere and make the debris fall in a controlled manner into the ocean.

China opens the world’s first school where more than 100 humanoid robots from different brands will study together, each movement will be repeated up to 600 times a day and the data will feed a collective brain that will teach all the robots of the future.

Scientists considered detonating 213 nuclear bombs in the Sahara to create an artificial sea the size of El Salvador, with each explosion being a hundred times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb, and the goal was to generate more energy than Egypt’s largest hydroelectric plant.

An illegal mountain of waste 6 meters high and 10,000 tons has emerged in England, threatens to catch fire, could cost millions to remove, and exposes how illegal dumping has become a business for criminals.

Speed radar installed in a hidden village in the Dolomites becomes the protagonist of a million-dollar revenue and places small Italian towns at the center of a national controversy.

While the world rushes to mine lithium from Congo and Chile, Brazil sits on one of the largest reserves and has barely begun to explore.

While Japan is seen as a global symbol of cleanliness, entire houses taken over by garbage expose loneliness, aging, and a legal barrier that prevents quick actions by municipalities.

The 2012 Mitsubishi Pajero Dakar diesel shows 314,000 km and still draws attention for its reputation for durability; the seven-seater 4×4 SUV handles trails, but signs of severe use may conceal losses for used car buyers.

Peugeot publicly acknowledged the errors of the PureTech engine, which caused serious failures in hundreds of thousands of cars, and introduced the new Turbo 100 as a definitive solution, a 1.2 turbo tested for over 3 million kilometers that replaces the faulty belt with a more durable chain.

Automatic cars become ‘cheap’ in Brazil, and models from Toyota, Hyundai, Nissan, and Honda appear for R$ 65,000 with up to 120 hp, CVT transmission, 482 liters of trunk space, keyless entry, and six airbags to tackle traffic without a clutch.

Honda revives a classic from Brazilian streets with a new name, TFT panel, and reprogrammed engine in the 2027 lineup; see the first impressions of the CB500 Hornet, which arrives with 49.6 hp, 4.5 kgf.m torque, 6-speed gearbox, 175 kg, and Showa suspension on Brazilian streets.
