Leapmotors C10 Design driven for 2025.

Leapmotors C10 – I recently drove a new model electric car. The Leapmotors C10. I have to admit I knew very little about this car before I had it for the week. It’s one of many new entrants that have called Australia home over the last 12 months, the C10 has its own personality.

There are two models available, the C10 Style and the C10 Design which is the flagship model.

The design is quite conservative compared to any number of other EVs. It also hides how large the C10 is.

Inside its similar to any number of EVs. They all tend to look alike at times. But the Design, which I drove is definitely upmarket. It has Leather like upholstery, heated steering wheel and front seats, electric tailgate, tinted windows and multi interior ambient lighting.

One thing that really stands out is the amount of room there is inside. Front seats are comfortable. Rear seats have an abundance of leg room. It’s surprising really.

The C10 is powered by a 69.9kWh lithium-ion (LFP) battery that provides a realistic 400km of range. However, it’s a 400 volt architecture which means that its slow charging. Like the Kia EV5.

One thing that was annoying was the level 2 safety features that continuously beep, bing and bong at you. It is an effort to find the menu items that enable them to be turned off only for them to revert again each time.

However, it’s priced from a touch under $50,000 plus the usual costs and that’s excellent value.
