Overview

Leapmotor’s C10 is a five-seat D-segment electric SUV aimed at families who place cabin room and day-to-day practicality ahead of chasing the lowest entry price. It comes with rear-wheel drive and a single-ratio automatic transmission, with the range starting from RM129,000. Its case rests on size, space and practicality.

C10 in 2026 — what's new

For 2026, the C10 moves to local assembly at Gurun while retaining the same specifications as the imported CBU model, and gains a new colour option. The RWD remains the entry C10, while the Plus brings the 81.9 kWh battery, 510 km WLTP range and 299 PS output. A facelift has been revealed for China, but the Malaysian locally assembled car continues in its existing form.

Which variant to buy

The RWD costs RM129,000 and suits buyers keeping to the lower outlay; its 69.9 kWh battery delivers a listed 420 km range and 215 hp. Most buyers with the extra RM10,000 should take the RM139,000 Plus. It adds a larger 81.9 kWh battery, stretches range to 510 km and lifts output to 295 hp, while retaining RWD and five seats. The Plus is also rated for 180 kW DC charging.

Verdict

The C10’s strongest argument is not novelty but the straightforward family brief: D-segment size, five seats and an emphasis on space and practicality. Its entry price sits above the BYD Atto 3 at RM125,800 and Neta X at RM119,900, but below the iCaur V23 at RM132,780. Buyers who need longer trips have a clear reason to step up to the Plus.
