As the sales pillar of the Leapmotor brand, the C10 has consistently ranked among the top models since its launch. Unlike previous minor facelifts, this update marks a comprehensive of the C-series (C10, C11, C16). The C10 and C16 receive mid-cycle updates covering six core dimensions: exterior, interior, powertrain, range, chassis, and smart configurations, elevating the vehicle's overall capabilities.
The exterior upgrade focuses on the front fascia, featuring a new "Sky Light" split-type headlight group, significantly enhancing the vehicle's visual presence. The upper part retains Leapmotor's signature daytime running lights, while the lower section integrates main beams, turn signals, and driving assistance lights. An active grille shutter is added, and the roof retains the high-precision LiDAR.
Thanks to the new front design, the car's length increases by 10mm to 4749mm, with a wheelbase of 2825mm. New wheel designs include 18-inch low-drag and 20-inch five-spoke options. A new "Cloud Creek Gold" paint color is introduced.
The interior features new "Sandstone Brown" upholstery and a layered dashboard design with waterfall ambient lighting. The air vents are now hidden, and a heat pump air conditioner is added. The 17.3-inch 3K central screen replaces the previous 14.6-inch unit, powered by the Qualcomm 8295P chip for smoother performance. A 60-inch AR-HUD is available on higher trims.
Comfort is a highlight, with front zero-gravity seats offering heating, ventilation, and massage. The rear seat includes a multi-functional table with cup holders. The trunk offers 510L of space, expandable to 1809L.
Powertrain options include an extended-range (EREV) and pure electric (BEV) version. The EREV version increases power to 200kW, with a pure electric range of 290km. The BEV version adopts an 800V architecture, increasing power to 230kW and range to 660km, charging from 30% to 80% in just 16 minutes.
The chassis retains a front McPherson and rear five-link suspension, now standard with FSD dampers for a smoother ride. Safety features include an integrated motion control system.
Trim levels are simplified to "Enjoyment" and "LiDAR" versions. The LiDAR version adds advanced driver assistance capabilities. The new Leapmotor C10 is set to launch on June 16, 2026, promising strong value and competitiveness against rivals like the BYD Sea Lion 06 and Deepal S05.
