Leapmotor C10 Hybrid

What it is

The C10 Hybrid is the petrol-electric version of the C10 mid-size SUV. It shares the 4.73 metre body, the 485 litre boot and the 1,645 litre folded capacity with the electric C10, and is offered in Life and Design trims.

Powertrain

A 28.4 kWh battery is paired with a 1.5 litre petrol engine and a 50 litre fuel tank. Leapmotor quotes 215 hp, a 0 to 100 km/h time of 8.5 seconds, an electric range of 211 km on the WLTP cycle and a combined range of up to 970 km. Electric consumption is 16.2 kWh per 100 km, fuel use is 1.7 litres per 100 km, and CO2 is given as 38 g/km. One page label for the electric range shows hp instead of km, which looks like a labelling slip.

Charging

DC charging peaks at 64 kW, and a 30 to 80 percent charge takes 18 minutes, according to the specification table. The charge port type is not stated on the page.

Assistance

The driver-assistance suite of the C10 range applies, with 17 functions listed for the Life trim of the C10 family.

Software and ownership

The car runs LEAP OS 4.0 with over-the-air updates covering features, security patches and driver-assistance changes. The Leapmotor App acts as a Bluetooth digital key and handles remote locking, climate control and charging schedules. Leapmotor states a battery warranty of up to 8 years or 160,000 km.
