The Leapmotor C10 is a globally designed SUV that utilizes the advanced "Leap 3.0" architecture, integrating the battery into the chassis for enhanced structural rigidity. The Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) version features a 69.9 kWh Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery, delivering 215 bhp and 320 Nm of torque to the rear wheels. This allows for a smooth yet potent acceleration of 0-100 kmph in 7.5 seconds. For those concerned about long-distance travel, the REEV (Range Extended Electric Vehicle) variant pairs a smaller 28.4 kWh battery with a 1.5-liter internal combustion engine that acts purely as a generator, extending the total driving range to a massive 975 km.
Charging efficiency is a key highlight, with the C10 supporting 800V-style fast charging despite its mid-range positioning. Using a DC fast charger, the battery can jump from 30% to 80% in just 30 minutes (22 minutes in optimized conditions). For home charging, an 11 kW AC wall box can fully charge the BEV in approximately 6 hours. In regional markets like Nepal and India, this blend of high-voltage architecture and long-range capability makes the C10 a formidable competitor against established internal combustion SUVs and first-generation EVs.
