Chinese brand Leapmotor, steadily building its European presence, is preparing to launch its most affordable electric crossover yet—the A10. Positioned a rung below the already familiar B10, it is set to become the brand’s key proposition in the budget-friendly urban SUV class, a space currently led by models like the Peugeot e-2008 and the Volkswagen ID.2 Cross. The move looks carefully calculated as the company broadens its reach in Europe.

Patent images reveal a modern, immediately recognizable design: headlights echoing the larger C10, a dynamic silhouette with a hint of coupe flair, and distinctive rear pillars that nod to Citroën and the Fiat 500L. The body layout and proportions lean toward everyday usefulness, reinforcing the car’s city-first character. The overall look reads cohesive and considered rather than showy—a sensible fit for its intended role.

One detail stands out: the charging port shifts to the front left fender, setting the A10 apart from other models in the lineup. Leapmotor keeps its naming simple—the “10” index marks an SUV, while the letter indicates the model’s tier. In this logic, the A10 neatly fills the gap between the compact T03 and the midsize B10, rounding out the range with a more accessible entry point.

Technical data remains under wraps for now, but expectations follow the brand’s familiar formula: generous equipment, a competitive driving range, and pricing up to 25,000 euros. If those projections hold, the A10 could emerge as one of Europe’s most affordable electric crossovers in 2026, a prospect that would sharpen competition in the segment.
