The Leapmotor B10 is not currently available.

Hybrids, plug-in hybrids, electric vehicles... there are plenty of affordable options in Australia if you want to slash your weekly running costs.

This all-new small electric SUV from China is far more than just cheap and cheerful, and has only one real problem.

The upcoming extended-range version of Leapmotor's new small electric SUV could start from under $37,000.

There's not a dud to be found in the latest batch of vehicles assessed by safety authority ANCAP, with all scoring five stars.

The cheapest electric SUV in Australia is a serious contender, but it has a few annoying issues that Leapmotor needs to fix.

Like its larger C10 sibling, Leapmotor's upcoming B10 small electric SUV will also become available with an extended-range hybrid powertrain.

The Chinese brands says a team of Stellantis engineers is working to improve the safety and and assistance functions of future export models.

Priced from less than $39,000 drive-away, the Leapmotor B10 undercuts its closest small Chinese electric SUV rivals by at least $1000.
