China’s Leapmotor has revealed the first official interior images of its new compact electric SUV, the A10, offering a clearer picture of the model that will spearhead the brand’s push into Europe’s affordable EV segment.
The A10, to be marketed in Europe as the B03X in the second half of 2026, is positioned as a tech-forward yet cost-conscious B-segment crossover aimed squarely at the increasingly competitive sub-€30,000 market.
The model was first shown to European audiences at the Brussels Motor Show, where Leapmotor presented it under the B03X name. The latest interior images now reveal in greater detail what the finished production cabin will look like when the car goes on sale in 2026.
Crucially, its expansion outside China is being orchestrated by Stellantis through the Leapmotor International joint venture, providing the young Chinese brand with immediate access to European distribution channels, regulatory know-how, and service networks that few new entrants can match.
Competitive interior space
The cabin design reflects a minimalist, modern approach. A clean horizontal dashboard is dominated by a large 14.6-inch floating infotainment display paired with an 8.88-inch digital instrument cluster.
The central screen features a high-resolution interface and is powered by an AI-based voice assistant, enabling natural language interaction and over-the-air software updates.
Ambient lighting, wireless phone charging, and a simplified center console with integrated storage underline Leapmotor’s intention to deliver a surprisingly premium feel at an entry-level price point.
Despite its compact footprint of just over 4.2 meters in length and a 2.6-meter wheelbase, the A10 promises competitive interior space for the segment.
The flat-floor architecture and efficient packaging are enabled by Leapmotor’s new global A-platform, specifically developed for electric vehicles. Rear legroom and headroom figures are expected to be in line with European B-SUV rivals, while boot capacity should match class standards.
Two battery options
Technically, the A10 will launch in China with two battery options: a 39.8 kWh pack and a larger 53 kWh unit. These deliver CLTC-rated ranges of approximately 403 km and 505 km, respectively.
European WLTP figures will inevitably be lower, but expectations point to roughly 300-350 km WLTP for the smaller battery and 380-400 km WLTP for the larger one.
A single front-mounted electric motor produces around 90 kW (approximately 122 hp), sufficient for everyday urban and suburban use. Fast-charging capability is expected to allow a 30-80% recharge in about 20 minutes under optimal conditions.
In its home market, Leapmotor has become a significant player among new-energy vehicle brands. Since its founding in 2015, the company has rapidly expanded production and typically ranks among China’s top 15 EV manufacturers by annual deliveries, with volume driven by popular smaller models such as the T03 city car and the C10 SUV.
China has become the world’s largest electric vehicle market, and within that context, Leapmotor’s national presence is notable, though it remains behind giants like BYD and Tesla.
Still in its infancy in Europe
In Europe, Leapmotor’s footprint is still in its infancy. The brand began systematic launches only in late 2024 and early 2025, with small volumes of imported models, and visibility is currently highest in markets such as the Netherlands, Belgium, and parts of Central Europe. The A10/B03X represents Leapmotor’s first real attempt to scale sales on the continent at a volume price point.
In China, the A10 is projected to start below RMB 100,000, translating to roughly €12,000 at current exchange rates. That domestic pricing underlines the car’s role as a mass-market EV.
However, European pricing will reflect import duties, logistics, homologation costs, and VAT. Industry expectations suggest the B03X will enter the European market at €22,000-€28,000, depending on battery size and specification, with a realistic starting price around €25,000.
If confirmed, that positioning would place the model squarely against cars such as the Renault 4 E-Tech, Citroën ë-C3 Aircross, and BYD Atto 2. It would also undercut higher-priced competitors like the Peugeot e-2008 and certain versions of the Opel Mokka Electric.
By combining a relatively large infotainment screen, modern driver assistance systems, and a competitive range with aggressive pricing, Leapmotor aims to differentiate itself not only from traditional European manufacturers but also from other Chinese entrants.
The A10/B03X is expected to arrive in European showrooms in the second half of 2026, following its initial launch in China earlier that year. Initially, production is likely to remain in China, although local European assembly could become an option later, depending on demand and trade conditions.
