Leapmotor B10 in Nepal: price cut to Rs 54.99 lakh, range and rivals

The Leapmotor B10 is an electric SUV that Shangrila Motors cut from Rs 60 lakh to Rs 54.99 lakh in June 2026. The official page lists one "top variant" in Nepal, a 67.1 kWh battery and a claimed range of up to 600 km on the CLTC cycle, which is the most generous of the common tests.

This is a buyer's guide built from official pages and news reports, not a test-drive review. We have not driven the car and do not describe how it rides or feels.

What it is

The B10 is sold in Nepal by Shangrila Motors, the Leapmotor distributor. The official page says Leapmotor makes its own motor and battery pack. It lists a 100% electric powertrain, a panoramic sunroof, 18-inch alloy wheels, full LED lights and seven body colours. The page says sales and service are backed by the Stellantis dealer network.

Price and the June 2026 cut

Business 360 reported on 7 June 2026 that Shangrila Motors had lowered the top variant from Rs 60 lakh to Rs 54.99 lakh, a cut of Rs 5 lakh. The official page now shows the Rs 54,99,999 price against the earlier Rs 60 lakh. We checked it in October 2026 and no other variant price is listed, so any other version would be "price on request".

The two Business 360 articles give different reasons: one links the cut to changes in Nepal's tax structure, while a second, dated 15 June, says the distributor chose to absorb recent cost increases rather than pass them on. We could not reconcile the two, and neither gives a tax percentage, so we do not either. For how EV taxes changed in this budget, see our FY 2026/27 EV tax guide.

Battery, range and charging

Business 360 gives a 67.1 kWh LFP battery and a 160 kW motor. The official page does not publish the battery size, the motor power or the range, so we label these as reported, and recommend asking for the brochure.

The claimed range is up to 600 km on the CLTC cycle. CLTC is China's test and is the most optimistic of the common ones, so real range will be noticeably less. Our range test guide explains how the cycles differ. The official page says the car has fast-charging capability but gives no charging power or time, so we cannot say how long a DC charge takes.

Features and safety we can confirm

From the official page:

• 14.6-inch 2.5K central touchscreen and an 8.8-inch driver display
• 17 driver-assistance features, and a Euro NCAP five-star rating, as stated by Leapmotor Nepal
• NFC card key, wireless charging pad and 12 speakers
• Panoramic sunroof; front seats that recline fully

Business 360 adds 180 mm ground clearance, a standard spare tyre, and heated and ventilated seats. The official page does not give an airbag count. Euro NCAP ratings apply to the tested specification, so ask which version was tested and whether the Nepal car matches it.

Warranty

Leapmotor Nepal lists 4 years / 1,00,000 km on the vehicle and 8 years / 1,50,000 km on the high-voltage battery, whichever comes first. Repairs must be done by authorised partners using approved parts, and the maintenance schedule must be followed. Normal battery capacity loss from ageing is excluded, so ask what loss counts as a fault. Our battery warranty guide has a checklist.

What it costs to run

On the Nepal Electricity Authority's domestic tariff (15-ampere single-phase meter), units above 250 a month cost Rs 11 each. The Kathmandu Post reported a 5% VAT on household units above 50 a month from July 2026, so we use the higher Rs 11.55 per unit.

• A full charge at home, ignoring losses: 67.1 kWh × Rs 11.55 = about Rs 775.
• CLTC consumption would be 67.1 ÷ 600 × 100 = about 11.2 kWh per 100 km, which is optimistic. We assume 18 kWh per 100 km at the plug. That is our assumption, not a measured figure.
• 1,500 km a month: 270 units × Rs 11.55 = about Rs 3,119, or about Rs 2.08 per km.

If a larger car uses more electricity than we assume, the bill rises in proportion. Enter your own numbers in the EV vs petrol calculator.

Rivals at a similar price

The ranges use different test cycles, so do not rank them by the last column alone. Read our Deepal S05 guide and Mahindra BE 6 comparison, or put two cars side by side in the compare tool.

Who it suits

• Buyers who want a long claimed range and a feature-heavy SUV close to Rs 55 lakh, and who are comfortable with a brand that is newer in Nepal.
• Those who want published variant choices may prefer rivals that list several versions.

What to check before buying

• Which version the Rs 54.99 lakh price covers, and whether a cheaper version exists.
• The service network near you, and parts availability.
• Registration, road tax and insurance on top of ex-showroom; see the on-road price calculator.
• Financing: Nepal Rastra Bank limits private vehicle loans to 60% of the value. For example, on about Rs 55 lakh the maximum loan is 55 × 0.6 = Rs 33 lakh, leaving Rs 22 lakh to pay yourself. Try the EMI calculator.

All prices are indicative ex-showroom prices on the official sites (checked October 2026). Items from news reports are marked as such.
