The Leapmotor C10 has been updated in Malaysia this month, and it brings a host of updates along with its new, lower price of RM125,000, down RM from its previous price of RM159,000, or RM149,000 from launch for a limited time. At this price point, the C10 is just RM1k more than the Proton eMas 7 Premium. Updates for the 2025 iteration of the C10 brings a 11 kW AC onboard charger that succeeds the outgoing 6.6 kW AC unit, and thus the more powerful AC charger brings the C10’s 30-80% charge time from six hours down to four hours. Meanwhile, its DC charging capability is unchanged, being able to take up to 84 kW to recharge its 69.9 kWh LFP battery from 30-80% in 30 minutes, for range of up to 424 km (WLTP). Powertrain for the Leapmotor C10 remains as before, where a single rear-axle motor outputs 218 PS and 320 Nm of torque. This propels the electric SUV from 0-100 km/h in 7.5 seconds, onwards to a top speed of 170 km/h. This isn’t the latest version of the C10, as that would be the China-market model with an 800-volt platform and a more powerful, 299 PS drive motor. Additions to the Leapmotor C10 for the 2025 model year include a direct tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) for real-time tyre inflation data, and a motorised tyre inflator kit. Also included here is a tonneau cover for the luggage compartment which holds 435 litres with the rear seats in place, or up to 1,410 litres with the seats folded. In front, the frunk adds a further 32 litres of luggage capacity. Interior appointments in the 2025 Leapmotor C10 now features black upholstery (this continues to be Oeko-Tex silicone textile) on cars specified with Pearly White, Canopy Grey, and Tundra Grey exterior colours, while Camel Brown interior upholstery colour replaces the Criollo Brown selection for cars with the Glazed Green exterior colour. Infotainment kit in the 2025 Leapmotor C10 includes a 10.25-inch instrument panel displaying at 1920 x 720 resolution, along with a 14.6-inch, high-definition central display offering 2560 x 1440 resolution. For audio, an 840-watt, 12-speaker surround sound audio system provides the music, and is joined by satellite navigation, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Still missing from this update, however is Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Local assembly plans for the C10 in Malaysia are underway, as Stellantis and Leapmotor have signed a deal to assemble Leapmotor vehicles at the Stellantis plant in Gurun, Kedah from the end of this year, with the aim of exporting to ASEAN markets from 2026.
