So what are the highlights of this new car's product power? Can it compete with the Ideal L7? Let's take a look.
The Leapmotor C10 is positioned as a mid-size SUV and is available in two versions, extended-range and all-electric, with three models in each version. As an ideal L7 for medium and large SUVs, it is definitely larger than the Leap C10 in size, but it has also come to 31 in **980,000-37980,000 yuan.

The closed front face with straight lines, the front of the car is equipped with a through-type light group, and the interior is an intermittent light strip, and the lens-type LED headlights on both sides are sharp-eyed, supporting 8 kinds of intelligent light languages. The trapezoidal heat vent under the front of the car widens the visual width and makes it more stocky and stable. The lidar on the roof can be seen from the front of the car, which shows that the new car has a high-end intelligent driving function led by urban high-speed NAP. There are five body colors, of which Liulicui is a special color for the first time.
20-inch gunmetal grey trident wheels are visible on the side, with a floating roof, blacked-out exterior mirrors, and hidden door handles, adding a sense of style and technology to the overall body.

Walking into the car, the wrap-around cockpit is covered with a large amount of leather materials, providing two style options of Cabernet Orange and Xingyuan Purple, which has the same design concept as the exterior of the body, using a large number of flat straight lines and rounded rectangles, which are very orderly, neat and spacious. In fact, space is indeed a highlight of the Leap C10, with the support of the 2825mm wheelbase, the interior of the Leap C10 has 668% EFF compared to 65 for Ideal L78%, the maximum leg space in the rear row of the C10 can reach 1050mm, the maximum head space can reach 1015mm, and the length of the second row cushion can reach 514mm.
In terms of space layout, Leap C10 has a changeable and flexible design, such as pulling out the front headrest, the backrest can be flattened 180° to form a pure "lying flat" large space, and the angle of the rear seat backrest can be adjusted in two gears, and can be completely flattened, forming a "big bed room" with the trunk. In addition, there are 26 storage spaces in the whole car, including 5 cup holders, and there is a place for bits and pieces when the family travels, and the rear armrests are designed as "baby dining tables", which can be used to put baby thermos cups, suction cup bowls and other items, keep the car clean and tidy, and will not mess around. The trunk has a decent load capacity and can hold seven 20-inch suitcases at once, and the two rows can be flattened for more luggage or bulky items.
The Leapmotor C10 comes from LeapMotor's latest LEAP30 platform, with the self-developed "four-leaf clover" ** integrated electronic and electrical architecture, it uses an SOC chip to create the best supercomputer, realizes the efficient coordination of various core components of intelligent electric power, and strongly supports the intelligence and networking of automobiles. In terms of intelligent cockpit, the new car is equipped with 1025-inch instrument cluster and 146 inches 25K central control screen, built-in Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chip, computing power is 8155P 75 times, whether it is voice or hand touch, the human-vehicle interaction is smooth and natural, creating an immersive in-vehicle experience, in addition, the cockpit can also achieve non-inductive OTA upgrade in 8 seconds. The new car is also equipped with 12-channel audio and self-developed AI zero-sound sound effects, creating a mobile digital ** hall, which can be used to sing K anytime and anywhere.
In terms of intelligent driving, Leapmotor C10 is equipped with 30 high-performance perception elements and high-computing power modules, supports urban NAC and high-speed NAP, and can be expanded to L3 intelligent driving assistance, which can achieve 30 driving assistance functions. In the absence of high-definition maps, it can recognize information such as traffic lights, zebra crossings, lane line curvature and obstacles, and automatically adjust the speed of the vehicle.
For home users, the safety of the car is a top priority, and there is no one. As a family SUV, the seat material of Leapmotor C10 is made of baby-bitten silicone material, which is the same as that of infant pacifiers, and a large number of low-volatile ring materials are applied to reduce the amount of glue and eliminate the volatilization of harmful substances.
The torsional stiffness of the body plays an important role in the safety of the whole vehicle, when subjected to external pressure, the car with high torsional strength is more likely to maintain the stability of the vehicle shape, and can also suppress the noise outside the vehicle during driving. The body of Leapmotor C10 adopts a nine-horizontal and three-vertical high-strength cage frame, and the application is 736% high-performance materials, 2000MPa submarine-grade high-strength steel is applied in 7 key parts, and the torsional rigidity of the body reaches 42500N·m °, which has won the 2023 China's Top Ten Body Body, Best Body Structure Individual Award and other honors. As a comparison, the torsional rigidity of the body of the ideal L7 is 31483 N·m °, while the torsional rigidity of the Volvo XC90, which focuses on safety, is only 25000 N·m °, and the torsional rigidity of the body of the million-dollar luxury car Rolls-Royce Phantom is 40000 N·m °. After testing, the maximum extrusion force of the single-sided roof of the Leapmotor C10 can reach 9 tons, which is about 45 times the weight of the whole vehicle. The fact that the C10 attaches so much importance to the torsional rigidity of the body proves that it wants to build a "car fortress" that focuses on family safety.
