Leapmotor C10 and B10: 36 Brazil sites, which SKUs first

For Leapmotor, 36 Brazil outlets means stock points, not sales. Leapmotor lands C10 and B10 through Stellantis distribution, saving showroom capex but taking on parts warehousing and residual value promises. They turn inside 90 days only if the opening range stays at 3 SKUs or fewer.

The footprint is 36 sites in 27 Brazilian cities plus 5 in Chile. Exports to Brazil hit 6,614 units in January-April 2026, 6,557 of them C10 range extenders, so one powertrain carries the line. Stellantis supplies sales, service and parts, so the question is which three trims per store.

Twelve cars per site across 36 sites is 432 units, about CNY 1.08 billion of channel stock at CNY 250,000 landed each. Three SKUs keep a store near CNY 3 million and match the shipping cycle. Six trims double store stock, and one slow seller pushes turnover past 90 days.

A self-built 4S means land, showroom and parts depot paid upfront; renting Stellantis shelves trades that for entry terms. Brazil charges 35% duty, then IPI and ICMS stack on the duty-paid value, pushing the base to 1.5 times CIF. C10 fits ethanol-blend fuel and thin charging.

Request per-country CIF quotations, the INMETRO and LCVM certification files, and the parts warehouse layout with residual value clauses in the contract. Set the 36-site rollout from 90-day turnover per store, not an even split. Send a trim list for landed cost by state.

What are the main vehicle models exported from China?
Sedans, SUVs, pickups and new-energy (BEV/PHEV) models. Available brands and stock shift with demand; EZ Auto sources to order and matches left/right-hand drive and emission standards to your country instead of holding inventory.

How is used-car condition assured for export?
Before shipping, EZ Auto arranges third-party inspection — body, chassis, engine bay, paint thickness and accident history — with 50+ photos and a video report. You pay and ship only after confirmation.

Left-hand or right-hand drive — which to choose?
It depends on local traffic rules (most of SE Asia and the Middle East drive on the right; some Commonwealth areas on the left). EZ Auto verifies the rule first, then matches the correct steering side to avoid a wrong purchase.

What differs when exporting NEVs vs fuel vehicles?
NEVs require attention to battery compliance, transport safety and local charging standards; fuel vehicles focus on emission and fuel-economy certification. EZ Auto matches models to each destination's import criteria without mixing standards.

Do exported vehicles need modifications?
It depends on the destination (lighting, instrument units, right-hand-drive conversion, etc.). EZ Auto lists required modifications and costs at contract, completing them before shipment to avoid rework at port.
