Leapmotor has officially launched pre-sales for the facelifted 2026 C10 SUV, a key model in the company’s lineup. The new version of the five-seat SUV follows the model’s debut in March 2024, bringing updates to both design and performance.
The 2026 C10 will be available in two variants: extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) and battery electric vehicle (BEV). The EREV models have pre-sale starting prices of RMB 129,800 ($17,860) and RMB 139,800, while the BEV versions start at RMB 139,800 and RMB 149,800. This represents a reduction from the prices of the previous generation, where the C10 EREV variants ranged from RMB 135,800 to RMB 165,800, and the C10 BEV variants ranged from RMB 128,800 to RMB 168,800.

The updated C10 retains the dimensions of its predecessor, with a length of 4,739 mm, a width of 1,900 mm, and a height of 1,680 mm, and a wheelbase of 2,825 mm. Notably, the facelift brings significant improvements in performance, including an increase in motor power to 220 kW, up from the previous 170 kW. This allows the 2026 C10 to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.9 seconds, a marked improvement from the 7.29 seconds of the earlier model.
A key feature of the facelifted C10 is the boost in range for the BEV variant, with both versions now offering a CLTC range of 605 kilometers, up from the previous range of 410 km to 530 km. Additionally, the highest-priced variants of both BEV and EREV models come equipped with LiDAR technology.
Leapmotor’s C10 model remains its best-seller, with 12,255 units delivered in March, contributing 33% of the company’s total monthly deliveries of 37,095 units. The C10 BEV was also introduced in Europe in September 2024, with the C10 EREV following in January 2025.
