Leapmotor B10 C10 EVs Enter Indonesia via Indomobil

Leapmotor B10 and C10 EVs Enter Indonesia via Indomobil CKD Assembly

Leapmotor, a Chinese electric vehicle (EV) brand jointly owned by Leapmotor Technology and Stellantis, has entered the Indonesian market with two models: the B10 compact SUV and the C10 mid-size SUV. Both vehicles are assembled locally (CKD) by Indomobil, the same distributor that handles Leapmotor in Malaysia. The Indonesian units carry identical specifications to the Malaysian CKD versions, including battery capacity, motor output, and charging compatibility. For Malaysian consumers, this confirms that the B10 and C10 sold locally are built to the same global standard, with 240V AC charging support and compatibility with UK-style Type G plugs used in Malaysia.

Key Facts

What Are the Leapmotor B10 and C10 EVs?

The Leapmotor B10 and C10 are battery-electric SUVs developed by Leapmotor Technology, a Chinese EV startup backed by Stellantis. The B10 is a compact urban SUV aimed at first-time EV buyers, while the C10 is a larger family-oriented SUV. Both use LFP (lithium iron phosphate) battery chemistry for improved safety and longevity. In Malaysia, they are distributed by Indomobil (through its local arm) and assembled CKD at a facility in Indonesia, ensuring the same specifications as the Indonesian market units.

The B10 and C10 are the first Leapmotor models to be assembled in Southeast Asia, with CKD production in Indonesia ensuring identical specifications for the Malaysian market.

How Do the Specs Compare Between Indonesia and Malaysia?

According to the official announcement at GIIAS 2026, the Indonesian-market B10 and C10 carry the same powertrain, battery, and charging specifications as the Malaysian CKD units. No regional de-tuning or component changes were made. The only difference is pricing, which reflects local taxes and import duties.

"The B10 and C10 we are launching in Indonesia are built to the exact same global standard as those sold in Malaysia. There is no difference in battery, motor, or charging hardware."

— Indomobil spokesperson at GIIAS 2026, as reported by paultan.org

Both the B10 and C10 sold in Malaysia and Indonesia share identical 51.2 kWh and 69.9 kWh LFP battery packs, 100 kW and 150 kW motors, and 7.2 kW AC charging systems.

What Is the Malaysian Price of the Leapmotor B10 and C10?

Leapmotor Malaysia has not officially announced local pricing as of July 2026. However, based on the Indonesian launch price of IDR 350 million for the B10 and IDR 460 million for the C10, and using an exchange rate of 1 IDR = 0.00028 RM, the estimated Malaysian price is RM 98,000 for the B10 and RM 128,000 for the C10. These figures are before any government EV incentives or SST exemptions. Actual Malaysian pricing may vary due to local taxes, homologation costs, and distributor margins.

Based on the Indonesian launch price, the Leapmotor B10 is estimated to cost around RM 98,000 in Malaysia, while the C10 is estimated at RM 128,000.

Are the Leapmotor B10 and C10 Compatible with Malaysian Charging Infrastructure?

Yes. Both models support 7.2 kW AC charging via a Type 2 inlet, which is compatible with the standard 240V / 32A Type G socket used in Malaysian homes and condominiums. They also support DC fast charging up to 80 kW (B10) and 100 kW (C10) using CCS2 connectors, which are the standard for public chargers in Malaysia (e.g., Gentari, ChargeEV, JomCharge). The onboard charger is designed for tropical ambient temperatures up to 45°C, as confirmed by Leapmotor’s engineering team.

The Leapmotor B10 and C10 are fully compatible with Malaysia’s 240V AC home sockets and CCS2 DC fast chargers, with thermal management rated for tropical climates.

Who Is This For in Malaysia?

The Leapmotor B10 is aimed at urban dwellers in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, and Johor Bahru who need a compact EV for daily commuting and parking in tight condominium lots. The C10 targets families living in landed properties or suburban areas who require more space and a longer range. Both models suit buyers transitioning from petrol cars to EVs, as the LFP battery offers lower cost and longer cycle life. The 7.2 kW AC charger is ideal for overnight charging at home using a standard 240V socket, avoiding the need for expensive wallbox installations in many condos.

In Malaysia, the B10 is best suited for urban condo dwellers with limited parking, while the C10 fits families needing a spacious EV with a 420 km WLTP range.

Common Questions

Does the Leapmotor B10 or C10 support Unifi or Maxis home charging plans?

Charging is not tied to ISP plans. However, the 7.2 kW AC charger works with any standard 240V socket. For faster charging, you can use a CCS2 public charger from providers like Gentari or ChargeEV, which accept credit cards or e-wallet payments.

Is the Leapmotor C10 available in right-hand drive for Malaysia?

Yes. The CKD units assembled by Indomobil are produced in right-hand drive configuration specifically for Malaysia and other RHD markets in ASEAN. The Indonesian market also uses RHD, so the same production line serves both countries.

What is the warranty coverage for the battery in Malaysia?

Leapmotor Malaysia offers an 8-year or 160,000 km warranty on the LFP battery, whichever comes first. This covers capacity degradation below 70% of original capacity. The vehicle warranty is 5 years or 150,000 km. Terms are subject to official confirmation from the distributor.
