Leapmotor B10 (2025 onwards) | Expert Rating

Summary

The Leapmotor B10 is a compact all-electric SUV/crossover, and the third model from Chinese marque Leapmotor to arrive on UK roads.

Posing a leftfield challenge to the likes of the Skoda Elroq and MG S5 EV, the B10 has received a rather poor set of review scores from the British motoring media, described by Top Gear’s Greg Potts as “boring” and “bland”, and “likeable” but with “rough edges”, by Parker’s Keith Adams.

“The Leapmotor isn’t as polished as its rivals from more established car brands”, says Richard Aucock of Motoring Research, “it’s anonymous to look at, forgettable to drive and some of its tech can be frustrating.” Despite its flaws, reviewers have praised the car’s competitive battery range and value-for-money credentials. “The price is the only reason that you’d choose it over its rivals”, says Electrifying.com’s Vicky Parrott.

While the B10 is hard to recommend in a very competitive small EV class, it’s arrival does mark a significant shift in driving quality for Leapmotor. “It’s comfortably the best Leapmotor yet”, says The Car Expert’s own Stuart Masson. “It’s well-priced, well-equipped and much nicer to drive than the larger C10.”

As of February 2026, the Leapmotor B10 holds a New Car Expert Rating of A, with a score of 75%. Beyond the SUV’s rather poor set of review scores, this overall rating is bolstered by the car’s full five-star Euro NCAP safety credentials, low running cost estimations and Leapmotor’s longer-than-average four-year warranty.

Safety rating

Eco rating

Independent economy and emissions ratings from Green NCAP

No eco rating

As of February 2026, the Leapmotor B10 has not been assessed by Green NCAP.

The Green NCAP programme measures exhaust pollution (which is zero for an electric car) and energy efficiency. Electric cars are much more energy-efficient than combustion cars, so the B10 is likely to score very highly in Green NCAP testing if and when it takes place. Check back again soon.

Running cost rating

The Leapmotor B10 is a relatively affordable car to own and run, according to whole-life cost numbers provided exclusively to The Car Expert by our data partner, Clear Vehicle Data.

The car’s average battery range of 261 miles is competitive in the small electric SUV category, but not class-leading. Its electrical efificiency (the battery-powered equivalent of miles per gallon) is also bested by similarly sized and priced models like the Skoda Elroq and Kia EV3. The SUV’s predicted insurance bracket grouping is slightly higher than the market average.

Warranty on a used Leapmotor B10

• If you are buying an ‘Approved Used’ Leapmotor B10 from an official Leapmotor dealership, you will get the remainder of the car’s four-year new car warranty included.
• If you are buying a used Leapmotor B10 from an independent dealership, any warranty offered will vary and will probably be managed by a third-party warranty company.
• If you are buying a used Leapmotor B10 from a private seller, there are no warranty protections beyond any remaining portion of the original new car warranty.

If you’re looking to buy any used car that is approaching the end of its warranty period, a used car warranty is usually a worthwhile investment. Check out The Car Expert’s guide to the best used car warranty providers, which will probably be cheaper than a warranty sold by a dealer.
