Stellantis and Leapmotor marked the start of Leapmotor B10 production in Zaragoza, Spain, on October 16, 2026. The announcement makes the electric compact SUV a manufacturing story, rather than another European launch preview.
Their joint production announcement says Zaragoza was chosen for its quality, available capacity and industrial expertise. The B10 joins a plant that currently builds the Opel Corsa, Peugeot 208 and Lancia Ypsilon.
The companies frame the project as a combination of Stellantis’ manufacturing capabilities and Leapmotor’s vehicle technology. Those are their stated strategic aims; the announcement does not quantify a cost saving for customers.
What this means for the B10
For product context, Leapmotor’s July 30, 2025 European launch release described a 4,515 mm-long SUV with a 218 hp motor. It listed 56.2 kWh and 67.1 kWh batteries, with claimed WLTP ranges of up to 361 km and 434 km respectively.
That older release announced a starting European list price of €29,900 in selected markets. It is historical launch context, not a verified October 2026 quotation or a specification guarantee for cars leaving Zaragoza. WLTP figures are standardized test-cycle results, not a promise of range in every driving condition.
What the factory announcement does not settle
The October 16 statement gives no annual production volume, local-content percentage, battery sourcing breakdown, new retail price or country-by-country delivery timetable. It therefore cannot establish when a particular dealer will receive a Spanish-built car.
Buyers should check the local price list, order specification and delivery terms rather than assume a change in assembly location also changes the battery, equipment or price. The useful distinction is between confirmation that manufacturing has begun and confirmation of the car a customer can actually order.
This industrial development is separate from the brand’s show-car activity. Our Leapmotor B03 and D19 Paris preview explains those other planned European debuts.
