Leapmotor has begun sales of the C10 crossover in China, according to carnewschina.com, with plans to bring the model to Europe in the third quarter of 2024. In Canada and the United States, prospective buyers will be watching closely as the vehicle targets the mid-size, five-seat segment and positions itself against established rivals.
The C10 rides on Leapmotor’s Four Leaf Clover platform, delivering a compact yet roomy profile. Its exterior dimensions measure 4739 mm in length, 1900 mm in width, and 1680 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2825 mm. In North America, the model will appeal to buyers seeking a balance of interior space, safety, and practicality, qualities highlighted by Leapmotor as core strengths of the lineup. The primary competitor identified for the C10 is the BMW X3, and the manufacturer emphasizes generous cabin space, robust safety features, and fast charging as key differentiators.
The C10 is equipped with a rear-mounted electric motor rated at 231 hp. Its stated driving range is up to 530 km, and battery charging is said to reach 80% capacity in about 30 minutes. A hybrid variant has also been announced, broadening the model’s appeal for markets where plug-in options remain a strategic differentiator. The company notes plans for Europe, the Middle East, and North America as part of the global rollout strategy.
In its home market, a price of 155,8 thousand yuan has been cited, which roughly translates to around two million rubles at the exchange rate reported at the time of the article. For Canadian and American shoppers, the price positioning will likely be a critical factor, given local incentives, import tariffs, and potential regional adjustments.
