Leapmotor B10 SUV Ultra Hybrid EV Arrives in New Zealand

The new Leapmotor B10 SUV Ultra Hybrid EV is coming to New Zealand from July 2026, giving Kiwi drivers a new way to enjoy electric driving without the usual range concerns. Designed for daily commutes, family routines and longer road trips, the B10 Ultra Hybrid EV combines the smooth, quiet feel of an EV with the reassurance of a compact petrol range extender. It is ideal for drivers who want EV-style performance around town, but still want confidence when travelling further across New Zealand.

So, how much is the Leapmotor B10 Ultra Hybrid EV in New Zealand?

The Leapmotor B10 SUV Ultra Hybrid EV will be available in New Zealand from $39,990 + ORC.

There are two variants confirmed for launch:

Leapmotor B10 SUV Ultra Hybrid EV Life
Priced from $39,990 + ORC

Leapmotor B10 SUV Ultra Hybrid EV Design
Priced from $44,990 + ORC

With electric-first driving, up to 900km WLTP combined range and strong SUV practicality, the B10 Ultra Hybrid EV brings a compelling new option to New Zealand’s small-medium SUV market.

Electric-first driving with extra range

The B10 Ultra Hybrid EV is different from a traditional hybrid.

Its wheels are driven only by the electric motor, giving drivers smooth acceleration, instant torque and a quiet EV-like driving experience. The 1.5-litre petrol engine is not connected to the wheels. Instead, it works as a generator to recharge the battery when needed. That means you can enjoy electric driving around town, while still having extra confidence for longer journeys.

The B10 Ultra Hybrid EV features an 18.8kWh battery, offering up to 86km WLTP electric range and up to 900km WLTP combined range. For many drivers, that makes it ideal for weekday commuting, school runs and shopping trips, with extended range available for weekends away or longer road trips.

Designed for New Zealand roads

The B10 Ultra Hybrid EV includes four energy modes: EV+, EV, Fuel and Power+.

These allow drivers to prioritise electric driving, preserve battery charge or access stronger response when needed. Whether you are driving through city traffic, heading along the motorway or travelling on rural roads, the B10 is designed to adapt while keeping its electric-first character.

Smart, spacious and family-ready

Inside, the B10 Ultra Hybrid EV offers a modern cabin built around a large 14.6-inch 2.5K HD central display. The system runs on LEAP OS 4.0 Plus and supports both wired and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Over-the-air software updates help keep the vehicle current, while a 12-speaker premium audio system adds to the in-cabin experience.

With compact SUV proportions and a generous interior, the B10 is designed for everyday Kiwi life. It suits commuting, school drop-offs, sport, shopping and longer family trips. The Design variant adds heated and ventilated eco leather front seats for extra comfort.

Safety and warranty support

Safety is a key focus for Leapmotor. The fully electric B10 BEV was awarded a five-star ANCAP safety rating earlier in 2026, including a strong Child Occupant Protection result.

The new B10 Ultra Hybrid EV builds on this with a high-strength body structure, seven airbags and 17 advanced driver assistance functions.

It also comes with a factory-backed six-year / 150,000km vehicle warranty, whichever occurs first.
