This just launched in Malaysia (no press drive info yet), it looks nice, is spacious, the materials feels good and yeah has that Tesla vibes with the steering wheel controls. Power and torque (160kW 320Nm) seems anemic for this size of vehicle as well as the range (435km), oh and the charge time of 30 minuter from 30-80%, with a 84kWh charge rate on a 69.9kWh battery, is lower than I would like. My US Audi e-tron SUV was rated for 30 minutes from 10-80% on a 150kWh charger for a 95kWh battery, back then it started with 218 miles of range and with an update got to 222 and real world driving of 170-180+ miles of highway range and up to 250 around town. 4 years down the road , I would expect more from this as other Chinese manufacturers are doing better in this size of vehicle, in terms of battery size, charging speed and range. It's one of the few vehicles that isn't saddled with low seats in the rear but, it doesn't get storage up front and the components aren't covered. The C10 is like a mainstream, large 5 passenger SUV with a 4 cylinder engine, not bad as we need more mainstream affordable EV on the market. I do have some concerns about the size of the wheels, yes, they are 20" in diameter however, they are on the narrow side, which I suspect were chosen for range over grip. I actually think it's a good vehicle but, I will have to wait to see what the future brings, the Xpeng G6 is a top pick for me. plus the new Onvo L6 looks like a good vehicle as well as the Zeekr 7X. Lets hope in the 2026 version, they will improve things.
It looks great and sure to please the average buyer. Love the dark green too, that's a rare option on most cars. Too bad about all the software glitches, seems like a common issue among all the Chinese manufactures these days (looking at you MG). The good thing about software is that you only need to get it right once.
A wise thing to keep in mind when buying something, especially a high price ticket item like a new and unproven car is never be one of the first to buy one. Sit back, wait and let others be the guinea pigs. It could save you a lot of buyers regret.
Seems like good value and looks ok if a little generic, but the lack of ACP/AA and physical buttons is a turn off for me, and those constant “safety” alerts would drive me absolutely crazy. Shame as it seems like a good overall package as a family car at a competitive price, but I don’t think I could live with this in the current state.
This looks really nice, especially in that British racing green. I'd seriously consider one in a years time once they've ironed out the software as a trade-in/upgrade to my 2021 MG ZS EV.
Good car with a nice interior, but the big question is whether Stellantis will provide warranty and support. It’s a Chinese brand, but will it be backed by a European company in terms of service? That’s something potential buyers will want clarity on before making a decision.

Chinese dumping cars into Australia now, due to higher tariffs being imposed on them by America and Europe. The Chinese need somewhere to flog these cars off besides china
Hardly dumping, it's a place they can compete on a level playing field. You know? capitalism, competition. If anything, Australians will be asked to pay slightly more to subsidize some of the tariffed markets.
Looks like a Mitsubishi Challenger. No physical switches? No buy. Glass roof? No. Non stop beeps and alerts sounds? No! Are you listening manufacturers?
i bought a BYD Seal in January, it was a bit raw, after 3 months it was tamed after an OTA update, brilliant now.

It's pretty much all EVs, worse for some that have everything integrated into the screen.

I think with Xpeng G6 now in the market, C10 has no chance unless they undercut the pricing.
This makes sense, it looks like a proper high riding SUV.

Will they be offering a dual motor option?
At this stage the Leapmotor C10 is only available as a single motor EV or plug-in hybrid overseas. There's no dual motor EV, even internationally.
Very good looking car new car 2024 Leapmotor c10 auto electric
Leap of faith?
sort of reminds me of the Porsche Macan
Legacy automaker now is like Roman empire under Barbarian invasion that can't stop Chinese cars to conquer the market
Not many Australians are considering EVs… at least according to the sales figures.
Especially when the government incentives dry out which they are.
All-New Leapmotor C10 From $47,500 - $51,500 Driveaway*
Range seems poor. It needs a 300 mile range these days to sell IMO.
Bing, Bing, Bing...😂😂
Ev , no thanks
Nope!
No

Chinese dumping cars into Australia now, due to higher tariffs being imposed on them by America and Europe. The Chinese need somewhere to flog these cars off besides china
And yet still we get slugged with higher prices
Not dumping, supplying value products for cash starved Australians.
Value made in China crap
Hardly dumping, it's a place they can compete on a level playing field. You know? capitalism, competition. If anything, Australians will be asked to pay slightly more to subsidize some of the tariffed markets.
Its not dumping, they produce right hand drive version upon demand as they don't need to do it.
No keep your garbage cars
who buying holdens abroad
Calm down, just because you can't fork out $50k.
@@youwish8026 I wouldn't even fork out $5 for this garbage 😂 move along
