Future Updates and Availability

At launch, the B10 will miss Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, though Leapmotor has confirmed an over-the-air update in January 2026 will add the smartphone integration.

Customers will be able to choose from six exterior colours and multiple interior trims depending on variant. Local deliveries are expected to ramp up quickly given Leapmotor’s existing C10 model already on sale in Australia since late 2024.
