Leapmotor B10: which version to buy — AT Plug-in vs AT Electro
If you are choosing a Leapmotor B10, the catalogue gives you one generation and two versions that share the same name AT. Both are on sale from 2024-10-01 with no end date in the data. Both make 218 hp (160 kW) and 240 Nm, both are RWD Automatic, both weigh 1845 kg kerb, both sit 170 mm off the ground, and both are limited to 170 km/h.
If you are choosing a Leapmotor B10, the catalogue gives you one generation and two versions that share the same name AT. Both are on sale from 2024-10-01 with no end date in the data. Both make 218 hp (160 kW) and 240 Nm, both are RWD Automatic, both weigh 1845 kg kerb, both sit 170 mm off the ground, and both are limited to 170 km/h. The buy decision is not “more power.” It is Plug-in versus Electro: a 1499 cm³ 4-cylinder Inline Front, transverse engine plus 50-litre tank and 2.4 combined consumption on one side, versus Electro with displacement, tank, consumption, CO2, gross weight, wheel sizes, and gear count all not measured on the other — plus a 0.5-second gap in 0–100 (7.5 s Plug-in vs 8 s Electro).
There is no second generation to “wait for” in this dataset: pokoleniy is 1. There is no restyling listed. Body is SUV 5-doors only. Prices are not in the data, so “what the extra money buys” can only mean what the extra measured hardware buys: a combustion unit, a tank, published economy and CO2, two wheel sizes, a 1-speed Automatic, and a published gross mass of 2204 kg.
Leapmotor B10 specs at a glance: two AT versions, same output
| Version | hp | kW | Nm | Displacement | Fuel | Cylinders | Layout | Boost | Gearbox | Gears | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AT (Plug-in, 218 hp) | 218 | 160 | 240 | 1499 | 95 | 4 | Inline; Front, transverse | not measured | Automatic | 1 | RWD |
| AT (Electro, 218 hp) | 218 | 160 | 240 | not measured | Electro | not measured | not measured | not measured | Automatic | not measured | RWD |
Both rows are named AT in the database. They are not two power levels of one engine: horsepower is identical. Separate them by tip_dvigatelya_en: Plug-in versus Electro, and by 0–100: 7.5 s versus 8 s.
Generations: one generation, two versions, nothing restyled
Leapmotor B10 1 generation started 2024-10-01; stop is not measured (still open). Body: SUV 5-doors. Modifications: 2, both labelled AT, both started 2024-10-01, both with stop not measured.
Because there is only one generation, there is no generation-to-generation change in power, weight, clearance, or drive. You cannot pick “the later body” or “the facelift chassis.” The only comparison that exists in the numbers is version versus version inside 1 generation.
Engine and specs: what 218 hp actually sits on
AT (Plug-in, 218 hp) is the only version with a measured displacement. 1499 cm³, 4 cylinders, Inline, Front, transverse, fuel 95. Boost is not measured. Valves per cylinder: 4. Compression ratio is not measured. Bore and stroke are not measured. Fuel system is not measured. Peak rpm for power and for torque are not measured. Gearbox is Automatic with 1 gear, drive RWD.
Power per litre on this version: 218 hp ÷ 1.499 L ≈ 145.4 hp per litre. Torque per litre: 240 Nm ÷ 1.499 L ≈ 160.1 Nm per litre. Those ratios apply only to AT (Plug-in, 218 hp). They cannot be written for AT (Electro, 218 hp) because displacement is not measured.
AT (Electro, 218 hp) lists the same 218 hp, 160 kW, and 240 Nm. Fuel is Electro. Displacement, cylinders, cylinder layout, valves per cylinder, engine position, boost, fuel system, compression, bore and stroke are all not measured. Gearbox is Automatic; gear count is not measured. Drive is RWD.
Same peak power and same peak torque on both AT rows means the catalogue does not give you a “stronger” Leapmotor B10. It gives you the same 218 hp / 240 Nm on two energy systems.
Performance and mpg: the 0.5-second gap is the only speed difference
0–100: AT (Plug-in, 218 hp) 7.5 s; AT (Electro, 218 hp) 8 s. Difference: 0.5 s slower for Electro. That is a 6.7% longer sprint (0.5 ÷ 7.5). Top speed is 170 km/h on both; there is no extra top speed to buy.
Combined consumption: AT (Plug-in, 218 hp) 2.4 (city not measured, highway not measured). AT (Electro, 218 hp) city, highway, and combined are all not measured. Do not treat the Electro as “using less” or “using more”: the figure is not measured.
CO2: AT (Plug-in, 218 hp) 54. AT (Electro, 218 hp) not measured. Eco class: not measured on both.
Weight-to-power is the same where kerb is measured: 1845 kg ÷ 218 hp ≈ 8.46 kg per hp on both versions. Power-to-weight: 218 ÷ 1845 ≈ 0.118 hp per kg. The Plug-in’s quicker 0–100 is therefore not explained by a lighter kerb in this dataset — kerb is the same 1845 kg.
If the only measured performance number that differs is 0–100, the version that is quicker to 100 is AT (Plug-in, 218 hp) at 7.5 s.
Dimensions and weight: same kerb and clearance, different published mass and wheels
Kerb weight: 1845 kg on both AT versions.
Gross weight: AT (Plug-in, 218 hp) 2204 kg; AT (Electro, 218 hp) not measured. Payload that can be calculated only for Plug-in: 2204 − 1845 = 359 kg. That 359 kg figure is not available for Electro because gross is not measured.
Ground clearance: 170 mm on both.
Tank: AT (Plug-in, 218 hp) 50 litres; AT (Electro, 218 hp) not measured (fuel Electro).
Wheels: AT (Plug-in, 218 hp) 225/50 R18 and 235/50 R18. AT (Electro, 218 hp) not measured.
Chassis items that do not split the choice: front suspension Independent, spring; rear Independent, spring; front brakes Ventilated disc; rear brakes Disc — same English labels on both AT rows.
Which version to choose
Choose AT (Plug-in, 218 hp) if you want the version with the complete published numbers and the quicker sprint. It is the only Leapmotor B10 with a measured 1499 cm³ 4-cylinder Inline Front, transverse engine, 95 fuel, a 50-litre tank, combined 2.4, CO2 54, Automatic with 1 gear, gross 2204 kg, and two wheel sizes. It reaches 100 in 7.5 s versus 8 s. You get the same 218 hp, 240 Nm, 170 km/h, RWD, 1845 kg kerb, and 170 mm clearance as the other AT. What you additionally get in the data is the combustion architecture, the tank, economy, CO2, 1-speed count, payload 359 kg, and 225/50 R18 / 235/50 R18.
Choose AT (Electro, 218 hp) if you want Electro fuel and accept that many catalogue fields are not measured. Output matches the Plug-in AT: 218 hp, 160 kW, 240 Nm. Drive matches: RWD Automatic. Kerb matches: 1845 kg. Clearance matches: 170 mm. Top speed matches: 170. You give up 0.5 s to 100 (8 s). Displacement, cylinders, layout, boost, gears, consumption, tank, CO2, gross weight, and wheels are not measured — so you cannot compare litres, mpg, payload, or tyre size against the Plug-in using this dataset. The Electro AT is not a higher-power Leapmotor B10; it is the same 218 hp with a different fuel label and fewer published figures.
Do not choose by generation. There is only 1 generation (from 2024-10-01, stop not measured), only SUV 5-doors, and both AT versions start on the same date. There is no “new generation chassis” in the numbers.
Do not choose by horsepower or torque. Both AT versions are 218 hp / 240 Nm. Weight per horsepower is 8.46 kg/hp on both. Top speed does not break the tie.
Arithmetic recap for the buyer
- Power: 218 − 218 = 0 hp difference.
- Torque: 240 − 240 = 0 Nm difference.
- 0–100: 8 − 7.5 = 0.5 s in favour of AT (Plug-in, 218 hp).
- Top speed: 170 − 170 = 0.
- Kerb: 1845 − 1845 = 0 kg.
- Clearance: 170 − 170 = 0 mm.
- Plug-in only: 145.4 hp/L, 160.1 Nm/L, 50 L tank, 2.4 combined, 54 CO2, 2204 kg gross, 359 kg calculated payload, wheels 225/50 R18 and 235/50 R18, 1 Automatic gear.
- Electro only: fuel Electro; displacement, consumption, tank, CO2, gross, wheels, gears not measured.
If the catalogue must name a default when both rows are called AT, the version with more measured fields and the lower 0–100 time is AT (Plug-in, 218 hp). The version to pick when the requirement is Electro fuel, knowing the sprint is 8 s and the rest of the economy/weight/wheel block is not measured, is AT (Electro, 218 hp).
