New competitor in the Brazilian market
The Leapmotor C10, which will begin to be sold in Brazil in 2025, is already generating great expectations. Although the official launch has not yet been confirmed, the model is already in evidence on the Chinese brand's hotsite aimed at the Brazilian market. Stellantis is testing prototypes of the C10, in addition to the T03 electric hatch, which also promises new features for the sector.
Features and performance of the Leapmotor C10
The C10 will be positioned in the medium SUV segment, featuring robust dimensions measuring 4,74 meters in length, 1,90 meters in width, 1,68 meters in height and 2,82 meters in wheelbase. In terms of engine, the electric model has rear-wheel drive and an engine that delivers 231 hp of power, with a torque of 32,6 kgfm.
In the Chinese market, the C10 offers two battery options: one with 52,9 kWh and another with 69,9 kWh. The version intended for Brazil it should be the one with the highest capacity, providing a range of up to 530 km in the Chinese CLTC cycle. In the Brazilian PBEV standard, this translates into a range of approximately 357 km on a full charge, offering competitive performance.
Model design and technology
The design of the Leapmotor C10 is striking. At the front, the SUV stands out for its LED headlights connected by a light bar and a hood that is aligned parallel to the ground. The lower bumper is finished in black with prominent vertical air intakes.
On the sides, the C10 features creases at the bottom of the doors and recessed door handles, while the bodywork displays simulated moldings on the wheel arches. At the rear, the taillights are thin and horizontal, extending across the trunk lid, all lit by LEDs.
Comfort and internal technology
The interior of the Leapmotor C10 is equally impressive. The SUV offers a high-quality finish, with a 10,25-inch digital instrument panel and a 14,6-inch multimedia center, which can be operated by voice commands. Among the comfort items, the front seats with electrical adjustments and air conditioning vents for rear seat passengers stand out.
