KatadataOTO – The Chinese electric car brand, Leapmotor, seems to be getting closer to the Indonesian market. It should be noted that the brand will be launched under the Indomobil Group.

Recently, Leapmotor launched a new right-hand drive product, the B10, in the Malaysian market. The B10 is their second product after the C10 in Malaysia.

For the first 200 units, the Leapmotor B10 is offered at a special price ranging from RM 99,800 to RM 109,800. This figure is around IDR 411.3 million to IDR 452 million when converted to the rupiah exchange rate.

Although available in an Extended Range Electric Vehicle (EREV) option, the Leapmotor B10 in Malaysia is sold only as a pure electric car.
