Car Buyer's Guide

Overview

The Leapmotor C10 is a D-segment electric SUV with five seats, rear-wheel drive and a single-speed automatic transmission. Launched in Malaysia in 2024, it suits buyers who want an EV with family-sized space rather than the smallest possible footprint. Prices start from RM129,000.

C10 in 2026 — what's new

For 2026, the C10 moves to local assembly in Gurun while keeping the same specifications as the earlier CBU model. The CKD car gets a new colour option and is listed from RM129k with 424 km WLTP range. The Plus remains the higher-output version, with 299 PS, 510 km WLTP range, 180 kW DC fast charging and a Night Edition. A facelift has been shown in China, but the Malaysian C10 range stays with the current body.

Which variant to buy

There are two variants: RWD at RM129,000 and Plus at RM139,000. The RWD gets a 69.9 kWh battery, 420 km range and 215 hp, which is enough if daily use is the priority. The RM10,000 step to Plus buys the larger 81.9 kWh battery, 510 km range and 295 hp. Pick Plus if you do more highway mileage or want the stronger motor; otherwise the RWD already covers the core C10 brief.

Verdict

The C10’s main case is size, space and practicality in an electric SUV format. It is not the cheapest EV SUV around: the Perodua QV-E, Seres 3, BYD Atto 2, Neta X and BYD Atto 3 all start lower. But the C10 is a larger D-segment model, and the Plus adds a meaningful jump in range and power for a RM10,000 difference.
