Leapmotor A10 interior revealed as B03X export plans take shape

Leapmotor has unveiled the interior of its upcoming A10 small electric SUV, a model set to underpin the brand’s next phase of global expansion. Known as the B03X in export markets, the compact SUV is under consideration for Australia as Leapmotor broadens its footprint beyond China.

The Leapmotor A10 will launch domestically in China before arriving in Europe in the second half of 2026, with right-hand-drive production strengthening its case for markets such as Australia.

Clean cabin, heavy tech focus

The Leapmotor A10 adopts a minimalist interior layout centred around digital integration. Key features include:

• 8.88-inch digital instrument cluster
• 14.6-inch 2.5K central touchscreen
• Dual-spoke steering wheel
• Soft-touch materials across the dashboard and door trims

The front passenger seat is manually adjustable to manage pricing. Practical elements include a fold-out tray table integrated into the rear of the driver’s seat, complete with cupholders and bag hooks.

Powering the infotainment system is a Snapdragon 8295P processor, designed to deliver higher computing speeds and smoother interface performance. The Leapmotor A10 also integrates an AI assistant system and offers advanced driver-assistance capability supported by a roof-mounted LiDAR sensor for highway and parking functions.

Compact dimensions, competitive intent

Dimensionally, the Leapmotor A10 measures:

• 4,270 mm long
• 1,810 mm wide
• 1,635 mm tall
• 2,605 mm wheelbase

This places it slightly below rivals such as the BYD Atto 2 in overall footprint, positioning it as an urban-focused entry-level SUV.

In China, it is expected to compete with models including the BYD Yuan Up.

Powertrain and range

The Leapmotor A10 is equipped with a single front-mounted electric motor producing 90 kW.

Two battery options are offered in China:

WLTP estimates are expected to range from 320 km to 420 km, aligning closely with those of segment competitors.

DC fast-charging capability allows a 30–80 per cent recharge in approximately 16 minutes under optimal conditions.

Chinese pricing is expected to range between RMB 80,000 and RMB 100,000 (around AU$20,000), reinforcing its positioning as an affordable, tech-forward SUV.

Platform context adds depth

While the Leapmotor A10 focuses on value, it sits on Leapmotor’s LEAP 3.5 modular architecture, the same scalable platform now being adopted by other Chinese manufacturers.

Separate reporting from CarNewsChina has shown that the LEAP 3.5 platform underpins a new mid-size Hongqi SUV currently in testing, confirming the architecture’s flexibility across segments and price points.

That broader application strengthens the business case for export markets, as Leapmotor positions itself not only as a vehicle brand but also as a technology supplier.

Australia remains under evaluation

In Australia, Leapmotor currently sells the Leapmotor C10 and Leapmotor B10.

If introduced locally as the B03X, the Leapmotor A10 would slot below both models in size and likely price, potentially targeting the sub-$35,000 electric SUV bracket.

Local specifications and timing remain unconfirmed, but with right-hand-drive production planned for Europe and growing demand for entry-level EVs, the B03X presents a logical next step for the brand’s Australian ambitions.
