Published on 21st January 2026 at 08:35
Launched here in October 2025, Leapmotor has wasted no time in making itself known, building up its dealer network now to seven and introducing new models to the Irish customer menu, the latest of which, the B10, made its debut this week at Gowan Auto’s Distribution Centre in Citywest.
The B10 enters the ultra-competitive C-Segment SUV Irish market in Ireland, with the VW id4, Hyundai Kona and Skoda Elroq, all ready to fight for the 4.5 metre of car space in your driveway. Along with its user-friendly size, the Leapmotor B10 is priced in effective B-segment SUV territory, will come in two trim levels and two battery options, from €32,984, inclusive of SEAI grant and VRT rebate.
The new B10 will retail from €32,984, inclusive of SEAI grant and VRT rebate, for the fully electric entry-level B10 STYLE trim, powered by a 56.2 kWh battery with up to 361km WLTP range. The 67.1 kWh DESIGN trim, offers up to 434km WLTP range, will retail from €35,996 inclusive of grants.
With its seven strategic Dealer appointments announced in Ireland in late 2025, all retailing the T03 and C10 models, Leapmotor lays claim to the number one position among NEV start-up brands globally, the brand’s performance in 2025 saw more than 800 points of sale established across Europe, registering 35,000 vehicles in Europe and 596,555 vehicles worldwide.
Leapmotor’s Magnificent Seven
Bright Airside (Swords, Dublin); Bright Motor Group (Navan Road, Dublin 15); Dan Seaman Motors (Forge Hill, Cork); Fitzpatrick’s Garage (Naas, Co. Kildare); Greenhall Motors (Buttevant, Co. Cork); Joe Norris Motors (Navan, Co. Meath); and Kenny Galway (Tuam Road, Galway).
At the recent 2026 Brussels Motor Show, Leapmotor unveiled three new models, the B03X compact SUV, the sporty B05 coupé and the range-extended Hybrid EV version of B10, which will come to market in 2026.
Stephen McGrath, Brand Manager at Leapmotor Ireland, commenting at the launch of the B10, said, “With B10, yet again we’re delivering phenomenal value without compromise – a fully-specified, premium C-Segment SUV at B-Segment SUV pricing. It is a direct challenge to established players in the Irish EV market. Combined with our compact T03 city car and large C10 family SUV, Leapmotor now offers Irish drivers a complete range of EVs that prioritises affordability alongside exceptional levels of standard equipment and safety. Leapmotor’s new product announcements at last week’s Brussels Motor Show provided the perfect stage to showcase the brand’s exciting plans for 2026, which will bring us to 6 model ranges this year covering all of the best-selling passenger car segments in the Irish Market.”
