Stellantis Malaysia has officially announced a comprehensive over-the-air (OTA) update for the Leapmotor B10 SUV, aimed at improving the vehicle’s digital ecosystem and driving dynamics.
Key enhancements included in this update are:
Single-pedal driving capability for improved energy efficiency and ease of use in urban traffic.
Integrated support for both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto (available via wired and wireless connections).
Expanded voice command functionality for more intuitive hands-free control.
Following this upgrade, the infotainment system is expected to deliver significantly faster response times.
Additionally, a new split-screen format has been introduced to the interface, allowing drivers to view multiple data points simultaneously for better convenience.
Safety and driver assistance systems have also seen notable improvements.
The in-cabin presence detection system has been optimized, while the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Lane Centering Control (LCC) functions have been refined.
These tweaks are specifically designed to reduce sudden deceleration when the vehicle navigates corners, ensuring a smoother ride.
Deployment Timeline
The OTA rollout began in February 2026. Owners of the Leapmotor B10 will receive a notification directly on their vehicle’s dashboard. The update can be downloaded and installed wirelessly through the car’s built-in infotainment system without requiring a visit to a service center.
