Verdict
The Leapmotor C10 Plus asks RM10,000 more than the Leapmotor C10 RWD, and the money goes into the EV hardware rather than space or kit. You get 295 hp and 360 Nm instead of 215 hp and 320 Nm, 510 km range instead of 420 km, and much quicker 180 kW DC charging versus 84 kW. Both still have the same five-seat D-segment SUV body, 435-litre boot and a very similar equipment list, so the cheaper car is not stripped out.
Pick the Leapmotor C10 RWD if you want the same cabin, safety kit and comfort equipment for less money, and 420 km range is enough.
Pick the Leapmotor C10 Plus if you want the longer 510 km range, stronger 295 hp motor and faster 180 kW DC charging.
