They’ve also recently launched the C10, a large, all-electric SUV that ambitiously pits itself against the best-selling Model Y family SUV.

Next up is the B10, which has been likened to the Tonale, while a smaller, B-segment SUV and two more vehicles that aren’t are reportedly on the horizon.

As reported by Autocar, Leapmotor’s UK boss, Damien Dally, said the brand's goal is to be “the best-value EV brand with the highest level of technology”;.

He also described them as “a tech firm which makes cars”;.

“We want to be best-value.

“Not necessarily the cheapest, but included in that price is an amazing level of and specification as ­standard.

“The cheapest option is OK. We’ve all flown Ryan­air.

“But it’s not the best.”;

The T03 model is currently the only Leapmotor model that’s built in – specifically, in .

But Dally said it was “likely that other will be made in Europe beyond the T03”;, with Stellantis obviously enjoying a large-scale infrastructure system.
