2026 Leapmotor C10 Price in Australia

Leapmotor C10 is the larger and more established SUV in Leapmotor’s Australian range. It launched locally as the brand’s first model and has since expanded into a family that covers pure-electric rear-wheel drive, a range-extender Hybrid EV and a much faster dual-motor AWD Sports+ special edition. That breadth allows the C10 to target buyers who prioritise value, long range, easy refuelling flexibility or strong performance without changing model families.

The rear-wheel-drive battery-electric C10 uses a single electric motor producing 160 kW and 320 Nm. Earlier Style and Design versions were paired with a smaller LFP battery, while the newer Design Long Range increases battery capacity and is rated at around 510 km WLTP in current Australian listings. The C10 remains a relaxed rather than overtly sporty SUV in rear-drive form, with a strong focus on smooth acceleration, cabin quietness and family comfort.

The C10 Hybrid EV uses a range-extender architecture. A 1.5-litre petrol engine acts as a generator and does not directly drive the wheels. The rear electric motor provides propulsion, allowing the vehicle to retain an EV-like driving feel. The Hybrid EV provides a substantial electric-only range and can extend total driving range to roughly 1,150 km when the battery and petrol tank are both used, making it attractive to Australian buyers who regularly travel beyond reliable fast-charging corridors.

At the top of the performance ladder is the AWD Sports+ special edition introduced in 2026. It uses an 81.9 kWh LFP battery, an 800-volt electrical architecture and dual electric motors producing 440 kW and around 760 Nm. Leapmotor quotes 0–100 km/h in 4.0 seconds and up to 437 km WLTP range. DC charging is rated at up to 180 kW, with a 30–80 percent charge taking around 22 minutes under suitable conditions. Sports+ also receives specific side decals, badging and trim details.

The C10 cabin is built around a 14.6-inch high-resolution central touchscreen and a 10.25-inch digital instrument display. Connected services, over-the-air updates, wireless phone charging, a panoramic glass roof, 360-degree camera and LEAP Pilot Level 2 driver assistance are central to the model’s technology package. Design and Sports+ versions add features such as powered front seats, heating and ventilation, heated steering wheel, power tailgate, premium audio and multi-colour ambient lighting.

Practicality is a strong point. Published Australian data lists a body length of around 4,739 mm, width of 1,900 mm and wheelbase of 2,825 mm. Boot capacity varies by powertrain, with figures around 546 to 581 litres behind the rear seats and up to roughly 1,375 to 1,410 litres with the rear seats folded. The five-seat cabin provides a flat floor and generous rear passenger space, making the C10 suitable for families and long-distance travel.

Current Australian exterior colours include Pearl White or Light White, Terra Grey, Jade Green, Midnight Grey and Metallic Black. The Sports+ special edition is offered specifically in Pearl White with black side decals or Metallic Black with grey side decals. For buyers comparing BYD Sealion 7, Tesla Model Y, Geely EX5, Deepal S07 and other medium electric SUVs, C10 offers strong equipment and powertrain choice. Its disadvantages are a still-developing dealer network, complex variant selection and the fact that range and charging performance vary significantly between versions.
