All-new Leapmotor C10 launched in Malaysia, RM159k – 424km range, RWD

The long teased all-new Leapmotor C10 has officially launched in Malaysia. The price for the sole variant available is RM159,000. The price includes a 6-year/150,000km warranty, and an 8-year/160,000km battery warranty. It is currently available with an introductory price of RM149,000.

The Leapmotor C10, with dimensions of 4,739 mm in length, 1,900 mm in width, and 1,680 mm in height, along with a 2,825 mm wheelbase, is far from small. In fact, its size places it in the D-segment, making it bigger than many competitors in its price range across various markets. In the electric vehicle (EV) segment, it surpasses the size of both the BYD Atto 3 and Proton e.MAS 7.

On the exterior of the car, Leapmotor has incorporated LED headlights and animated taillights to give the car a unique but handsome look. Moreover, the 20-inch “Trident” style aluminium wheels help enhance the sleek profile of the car altogether. Pop out door handles are also present to give the car a streamlined look.

The C10 launched in Malaysia gets a single motor, rear wheel drive (RWD) powertrain that produces 210 PS (160kw). A high capacity 69.9 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery provides the necessary juice to the car. As for operating range, based on global specs, the C10 will offer up to 424 km of WLTP-rated travel on a single charge. The C10 could handle 6.6 kW of AC charging (single phase) and up to 84 kW of DC charging. Leapmotor claims that the LFP pack can be juiced up from a 30% to 80% State of Charge (SoC) in about 30 minutes via fast charging.
