Leapmotor C10 AWD on sale. PRICE starting at 177,900 Polish zlotys for the version with 420 kW/571 HP power and 0-100 km/h acceleration in 4 seconds!

Leapmotor has begun delivering the extreme version of the Leapmotor C10 (4.74 meters long, 2.83 meters wheelbase). This all-wheel-drive vehicle boasts only a WLTP range of 460 kilometers despite having a sizable 81.9 (~80) kWh battery. It should be noted that depending on the source, the manufacturer claims a torque of 655 Nm and power outputs of 440 kW/589 hp or 420 kW/571 hp; we will use the lower figure in this article. The most powerful edition (!) of this car is priced at an absurdly low amount for a D-segment crossover, starting at 177,900 Polish zlotys.

Leapmotor C10 and C10 AWD. Affordable, spacious, in a Chinese style

Leapmotor C10 ProMax. Seemingly the same, yet completely different from the old C10 Pro

The Leapmotor C10 is a car with understated beauty but interesting design choices, its creators being so inspired by Tesla that they removed not only buttons but even the air vent openings from the cockpit. Air is forced into the cabin through narrow gaps between plastic components, which can cause whistling sounds and gives the impression that some parts are poorly fitted together. Nevertheless, Leapmotor must be credited for not being afraid to experiment. In less than two years since its launch, the battery has been upgraded, the architecture changed, and a version with over 400 kW of power has been introduced for sale.

Leapmotor C10 ProMax. It seems the same, yet it’s completely different from the original C10 Pro.

In the original Pro version with a 69.9 (~68) kWh battery, 400 V was maintained, but with the new 81.9 (~80) kWh battery package in the Leapmotor C10 ProMax and ProMax AWD variants, the voltage has risen to 800 V. The maximum charging power has increased to 180 kW, and the charging time to reach 30 to 80 percent capacity has been reduced from 24 minutes to an impressive 22 minutes ;). Since this is an older generation LFP battery, it’s best not to discharge it below 10-20 percent, so stating a charging time for 30 percent rather than 10 percent is partly a marketing tactic and partly a recommendation. We estimate it would take around 40 minutes.

Like its Chinese counterpart, the C10 is full of contrasts. The first version of the C10 featured a soft, comfortable, “Citroën-style” suspension. We hope that the C10 AWD, which accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4 (!) seconds, has a stiffer and more robust suspension. In the C10 variant we got to drive, the software was underdeveloped, displaying confusing or even nonsensical messages, including voice prompts. On the bright side, it had 500 liters of trunk space behind the seats and excellent headroom in the rear seat.

The maximum WLTP range of the Leapmotor C10 ProMax AWD is 460 units, with up to 393 kilometers in urban or urban-suburban mode, 276 kilometers at 120 km/h, and 212 kilometers at 140 km/h [preliminary calculations by Elektrowozu’s editorial team]. The C10 ProMax version with rear-wheel drive and the same battery has 220 kW/299 HP of power (compare to MEB platform vehicles with the APP550 engine) and a WLTP range of up to 510 units.

The C10 Pro version with a smaller battery, weaker range, and a lower Life trim is available on promotion at 147,900 złoty. The new Leapmotor C10 ProMax, featuring an 800 V architecture and a larger 81.9 kWh battery, costs 167,900 złoty, while the AWD variant is offered on promotion at 177,900 złoty. In both cases, it comes with nearly maximum Design trim. The Leapmotor C10 ProMax AWD website is HERE, the price list is included in the article, and the PDF version is available HERE.

Update 2026/10/30, 3:18 PM: Sławek Paruszewski from TOK FM, who had the chance to drive the C10 AWD, says the “suspension is OK, probably due to the drive system.” He found the “lack of intuitive controls” problematic, so after switching to an Outlander PHEV, he prefers it because everything is simple and clear.
