Lifan Motor Launches B10 Plug-In Hybrid SUV in Israel with New Pricing and Features

Lifan Motor's Israeli importer continues to strengthen the brand's presence by introducing a plug-in hybrid version of the compact B10 SUV alongside a new pricing structure and plans for additional models. The B10 plug-in hybrid features a 1.5-liter gasoline engine producing 88 horsepower paired with a 218-horsepower electric motor that primarily powers the rear wheels. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.5 seconds and offers an electric-only range of 86 kilometers thanks to an 18.8 kWh battery.

Charging options include a 6.6 kW home charger that fully charges the battery in three hours and a 46 kW fast charger that can charge from 30% to 80% in 20 minutes. The vehicle also supports Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) functionality. Performance is comparable to the fully electric version, with the plug-in hybrid accelerating slightly faster and both capped at a top speed of 170 km/h.

The B10 plug-in hybrid is available in two trim levels, "Life" and "Design," which share identical safety features and equipment levels with the electric model. The "Life" trim includes NFC smart key, remote control app, an 8.8-inch digital dashboard, a 14.6-inch multimedia screen with OTA updates, wireless charging, parking sensors, surround cameras, panoramic sunroof, and 18-inch wheels. The "Design" trim adds synthetic leather upholstery, electrically adjustable, heated and ventilated front seats, heated steering wheel, rain sensor, ambient lighting, power-folding side mirrors, tinted rear windows, rear armrest, electric trunk, and a 12-speaker audio system.

Safety features are comprehensive, with seven airbags including a central airbag between the driver and passenger, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot detection with collision prevention, door opening alert, rear cross-traffic alert with braking, driver monitoring, rear collision warning, and child presence alert. The B10 received a 7 out of 8 rating from the Israeli Ministry of Transport and a 5-star rating in European crash tests.

The importer also announced price reductions of 5,000 to 10,000 shekels for both the electric C10 and the new plug-in hybrid B10 models, signaling a competitive push in Israel's growing electric and hybrid vehicle market.
