Leapmotor C10 History
History
The C10 made its world debut at the Munich Motor Show (IAA) in September 2023, signalling Leapmotor's ambition to compete in European markets. It launched in China in March 2024 and simultaneously became one of the two lead models — alongside the T03 city car — of Leapmotor International's European rollout, which began in September 2024 across Belgium, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, and other markets via Stellantis' dealer network.
The C10 measures 4,739 mm in length on a 2,825 mm wheelbase and is available in BEV form with a 69.9 kWh battery, a 160 kW (218 hp) motor, and up to 420 km WLTP range, as well as a range-extender (EREV) variant. Its interior features a 14.6-inch 2560×1440 touchscreen. The C10 is significant as the vehicle that physically put Leapmotor into European Stellantis showrooms, marking the marque's first genuine global ambition.
