On March 10, Leapmotor introduced its latest breakthrough, the LEAP 3.5 architecture, featuring a globally pioneering super-integrated central domain controller. This system, powered by a single "super brain," enables end-to-end advanced intelligent driving while integrating cockpit, powertrain, and body control.
The first model to adopt LEAP 3.5, the B-series' B10 SUV, is priced at 109,800 yuan to 139,800 yuan in presales, combining affordability with advanced smart features. The B10 is expected to be a key driver toward Leapmotor's 2025 sales target of 500,000 vehicles.
