Stellantis Malaysia has officially launched the all-new electric Leapmotor C10 SUV, marking the first product introduction of its new energy brand, Leapmotor.
A Leap Into Electric Mobility
The Leapmotor C10 stands as a testimony to the partnership’s commitment to sustainable mobility. With driving dynamics optimized by Maserati, the SUV brings together comfort, safety, and intelligence.
The C10 benefits from Leapmotor’s vertical integration approach, with over 60% of the vehicle’s components being self-developed and self-manufactured, contributing to its exceptional value and competitive pricing.
Leapmotor’s Growing Presence
Leapmotor has quickly emerged as one of the top three EV startups in the Chinese NEV market, with cumulative deliveries reaching 460,000 units by September 2024. With Stellantis’ extensive global sales and service network, Leapmotor is well-positioned to expand internationally.
Innovative Design and Features
The Leapmotor C10 boasts a minimalist design that has garnered international accolades, including the 2023 International CMF Design Award and the 2024 French Design Award. The SUV features LED-powered “angel-wing” headlamps, an Active Grille Shutter (AGS) for better aerodynamics, and 20-inch “Trident” wheels. Its sleek, modern exterior is complemented by a spacious interior built on the advanced Leap 3.0 platform, offering a cabin length of 4,739 millimetres.
In terms of performance, the C10 is equipped with the cutting-edge Cell-To-Chassis (CTC) 2.0 technology, which integrates the battery pack into the vehicle’s structure, improving space efficiency and charging flexibility. The 69.9kWh Lithium-Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery supports a range of up to 477 kilometres (NEDC), and the C10 can charge from 30% to 80% in just 30 minutes using DC fast charging. The single motor configuration produces 231hp and 320Nm of torque
A Digital-First Experience
The C10’s advanced electronics are built around Leapmotor’s proprietary “Four-Leaf Clover” Central Electronic and Electrical Architecture, powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip. The vehicle features a 14.6-inch central infotainment screen with Leap OS 4.0, a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster, and a 360-degree panoramic camera for enhanced navigation and parking.
Comfort Meets Technology
Inside the C10, passengers can enjoy high-quality fittings, OEKO-Tex Standard 100 baby-friendly silicone textiles, and a range of comfort features including ventilated ergonomic seats and a panoramic glass roof. The rear seats can fold flat to create a spacious area suitable for camping or resting, further enhancing the vehicle’s family-friendly appeal.
Safety at the Forefront
Safety is paramount in the Leapmotor C10, which comes equipped with a comprehensive suite of seven airbags and Level 2 ADAS (Leap Pilot). This includes Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Centering Control, Autonomous Emergency Braking, and many other advanced driver assistance features.
Pricing and Availability
The all-new electric Leapmotor C10 is available in four colours: Glazed Green, Pearly White, Canopy Grey, and Tundra Grey. Interior options include Criollo Brown (exclusive to Glazed Green) and Midnight Aurora.
For a limited time, it is being offered at an introductory price of RM149,000 for bookings made before November 30, 2024. The official retail price after the promotional period will be RM159,000
Stellantis Malaysia plans to support the launch with 18 point-of-sales locations and 16 authorized service centres by the end of 2025, ensuring widespread availability and customer support across the country.
