Leapmotor has revealed an updated version of its C10 SUV ahead of a China market launch on 16 June.
The mid-cycle update brings a redesigned front end, adopting the split-headlight treatment from the smaller B10, with vertical headlights set below a light bar and chequered LED daytime running lights. A restyled bumper and new wheel designs, including 20-inch alloys, complete the exterior changes. The rear is unchanged.
Inside, the C10 gains a reworked layered dashboard, a head-up display and a larger infotainment touchscreen.
Leapmotor is yet to release full specifications, but reports indicate the electric version moves to an 81.9 kWh battery, up from 69.9 kWh. The extended-range version now offers 290 km of electric range under the CLTC cycle and 1300 km of total range.
The battery-electric C10’s motor output increases to 230 kW. The range-extender retains its 1.5-litre petrol engine, rated at 70 kW, with electric drive power lifting to 200 kW.
The C10 is updated alongside the C11 and C16, with all three going on sale in China on 16 June.
We have reached out to local distributor Armstrong’s for arrival timing and specifications.
