Chinese EV brand Leapmotor has rolled out its latest over-the-air (OTA) software update for the Leapmotor B10, introducing a suite of new features aimed at improving driving comfort, connectivity, and safety.

The update arrives just six months after the B10 SUV was first introduced, highlighting the company’s focus on rapid software development and continuous vehicle improvement. Rather than requiring customers to visit a service centre, the OTA update allows owners to upgrade their vehicles directly through the car’s system, ensuring that the B10 evolves with new capabilities over time.

One of the headline additions is the introduction of One-Pedal driving. This feature enables drivers to manage both acceleration and deceleration primarily through the accelerator pedal. With improved energy regeneration logic, the system helps deliver smoother vehicle control while increasing efficiency during everyday driving.

Connectivity has also been significantly enhanced. The B10 now supports both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, giving drivers seamless access to their smartphone applications, navigation, and entertainment systems. These functions can be connected through either wired or wireless integration, offering greater flexibility for users.

In addition to connectivity upgrades, Leapmotor has refined the vehicle’s user interface to improve accessibility and personalisation. Drivers can now customise the multifunction buttons on the steering wheel, allowing quick access to frequently used functions such as Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) features and drive mode settings.

The infotainment experience has also received notable enhancements. A new left-side split-screen layout allows navigation to remain visible while other applications are in use, improving multitasking and overall usability. Meanwhile, a new “Quick Start” preloading function reduces system startup time, allowing the infotainment system to launch faster when the vehicle is powered on.

Further refinements extend to the vehicle’s safety and driver-assistance systems. The in-vehicle life presence detection reminder has been optimised, while updates to Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Lane Centering Control (LCC) provide smoother deceleration when approaching curves.

Deployment of the first OTA software update for 2026 began in early February and is currently being rolled out to B10 owners in phases. Once available, drivers receive a notification directly within the vehicle and can install the update through the car’s interface.

With continuous OTA enhancements, Leapmotor reinforces its strategy of delivering vehicles that improve over time through software innovation, ensuring that drivers benefit from evolving technology throughout the lifespan of their cars.
