Leapmotor released official images of the updated B10 and B01. The B01 adds a 180kW high-power variant with new Cloud Purple and Liquid Silver colors, plus a 50-inch AR-HUD, 17.3-inch 3K screen, and 14-speaker audio. The B10 gains dual front zero-gravity seats, a convertible bed function, and a 1.83m² panoramic roof. Current B01 range: 430/550/650km; B10 range: 510/600km.
Powertrain Upgrade: High-Power Variants Across the Board
The update brings high-power versions to both B10 and B01 lineups. The B01's new 180kW variant fills a performance gap, while the B10 offers 180kW and 185kW options, widening the performance gap against rivals.
This strategy clearly targets overseas markets—Central Asian and Russian buyers demand strong highway acceleration and hill-climbing ability. 180kW+ motors are competitive in local EV segments at this price point. Range remains intact: B01 keeps 430/550/650km, B10 keeps 510/600km.
- New B01: 180kW high-power variant added
- New B10: 180kW/185kW dual high-power options
- Range: B01 430/550/650km, B10 510/600km unchanged
- Performance and practicality coexist without compromise
Cockpit Experience: From Tool to Living Space
The B10's most talked-about upgrades are dual front zero-gravity seats and the convertible bed function. The seats recline near-flat, turning the vehicle into a mobile rest space for camping and long-distance breaks. The 1.83m² panoramic roof amplifies this—in sun-rich Central Asia, natural light flooding the cabin significantly enhances the sense of space.
The B01's cockpit upgrades are equally aggressive: a 50-inch AR-HUD projects navigation and ADAS info into the driver's sightline; the 17.3-inch 3K screen offers crisp interaction; 14 speakers plus driver music headrests create immersive audio.
