T9 vs C10 FAQ
How long does charging take?
The C10's 69.9 kWh battery takes about 6.4 hours for a full AC charge, and an estimated 60 minutes from 10% to 80% on a DC fast charger at its 84 kW peak.
Which one is locally assembled?
The C10 is assembled in Malaysia (CKD), while the T9 is fully imported (CBU) from China. Local assembly generally helps pricing and spare-parts supply, and CKD programmes usually signal a longer-term commitment to the model here.
Which has the better warranty?
The C10 carries a 6-year manufacturer warranty against 5 years for the T9. T9: 8-Year Unlimited Mileage Warranty for Engine (1st Owner Only). C10: 8 Year/160,000 km BEV Warranty, 8-year/160,000 km Battery Warranty.
