The Leapmotor C10 (Chinese: 零跑C10; pinyin: Língpǎo C10; stylized as CI0) is a mid-size crossover SUV produced by Chinese automobile manufacturer Leapmotor and sold in Europe by Leapmotor International.[1] It is the first Leapmotor model to be designed for global markets, and is the first to enter the European market alongside the Leapmotor T03.[2]

Overview

Rear view
Interior

The vehicle was first shown to the public at the 2023 Munich Motor Show.[3] It was launched in China in March 2024.[3] In September 2024, sales in nine European markets started.[4][5] Unlike the lower-positioned Leapmotor T03, this model is imported to Europe instead of being produced locally, thereby incurring a 21% import tax.[6]

The interior features a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, and a 14.6-inch 2K central infotainment display. It is equipped with a 12-speaker 840W sound system and a 2.1 m2 (23 sq ft) panoramic sunroof. It has 435 L (15.4 cu ft) of trunk space, which expands to 1,410 L (50 cu ft) with the rear seats folded down. Leapmotor says that with the front and rear seats folded down, the vehicle can accommodate a 1.8 m × 1.2 m (5.9 ft × 3.9 ft) double bed.[7]

The C10 is available in either a range extended electric version, with a Seres-supplied 1.5-liter petrol engine and 28 kWh battery capable of 140 kilometres (87 mi) of CLTC electric range, or as a fully electric model with either a 52.9 kWh or 69.9 kWh battery pack, offering CLTC range ratings of 410 or 530 kilometres (250 or 330 mi), respectively.[3]

Leapmotor i C10

The Leapmotor i C10 (stylized as i CI0) is a performance-oriented version of the C10 available exclusively in Germany. It was developed in collaboration with Opel tuner Irmscher. The exterior features larger wheels (possibly 21 inch wheels, the size is unknown), a more prominent rear spoiler, red accents on the front spiltter, side profile, and the center caps, and a stylized lowercase I badge below the rear light bar which also acts as a tail light. The only mechanical change was a new firmer suspension setup designed to increase handling. The i C10's power output is the same as the C10 AWD introduced at Auto Zürich 2025. It has a range of 438 kilometres (272 mi).[8]

Markets

Australia

The C10 went on sale in Australia on 23 October 2024, as the first Leapmotor model to enter the Australian market, with customer deliveries commenced in November 2024. At launch, it is available with two variants: Style and Design, powered by a 69.9 kWh battery pack.[9]

In March 2025, the EREV range extended electric version was introduced in Australia. Like the battery electric version, the EREV model is available with two variants: Style and Design.[10]

Europe

The C10 is the first Leapmotor model alongside the T03 to enter the European market through the Leapmotor International joint venture in October 2024. It will be sold through existing Stellantis brands' dealership networks, initially in Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Luxemburg, Malta, the Netherlands, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Switzerland, and the UK.[11][12] It was initially available with only the BEV version, consisting of a 69.9 kWh battery pack and 218 PS (160 kW; 215 hp) motor, allowing for 420 kilometres (261 mi) of range on the WLTP cycle.[7] It is equipped with a 6.6 kW onboard AC charger, allowing it to charge from 30-80% in 6.1 hours, or 30 minutes with a DC fast charger.[12][7]

In January 2025, the EREV version was launched in Europe at the Brussels Motor Show, with deliveries expected to begin later that year in March. It uses the same motor, but has a 1.5-litre petrol generator providing 950 kilometres (590 mi) of range on the WLTP cycle.[13]

An all-wheel-drive version was introduced at Auto Zürich 2025. The all-wheel-drive version produces 446 kilowatts (598 hp; 606 PS) and uses an 81.9 kWh battery pack, however the range has not been announced. The C10's DC fast-charging enables the battery to recharge from 30% to 80% in just 22 minutes.[14]

Malaysia

The C10 was first previewed in Malaysia in September 2024, before it was launched in Malaysia on 16 October 2024 as the first Leapmotor model to enter the Malaysian market. It is available in the sole Design variant powered by the 69.9 kWh battery pack.[15]

New Zealand

The C10 was launched in New Zealand on 20 November 2024, as the first Leapmotor model to enter the New Zealand market. At launch, the C10 was available in the sole Design variant powered by the 69.9 kWh battery pack.[16]

In March 2025, the EREV range extended electric version was launched in New Zealand marketed as the Ultra Hybrid.[17]

South Africa

The C10 was launched in South Africa on 15 October 2024, as the first Leapmotor model to enter the South African market. It is available as the range extended electric version (REEV) with two variants: Style and Design.[18]

Thailand

The C10 was launched in Thailand on 28 November 2024, as the first Leapmotor model to enter the Thai market. At launch, the C10 is available in the sole unnamed variant, powered by the 69.9 kWh battery pack.[19] In March 2025, the Style variant became available only in limited quantity and the unnamed sole variant was renamed to the Design variant.[20]
