Leapmotor is the most popular car brand in the process of the rise of new energy vehicles, and this brand has created a variety of new energy models, wanting to take the lead and become the leader of the new energy vehicle era. However, after the launch of a number of models, Leapmotor did not get much excellent sales results. Compared with other independent brands of new energy vehicles, Leapmotor advocates "cost-effective" and wants to attract consumers through high cost performance, but now the new energy vehicle market has started a "first-class war", in contrast, Leapmotor does not have much advantage. In March 2024, Leapmotor launched the Leapmotor C10, a mid-size SUV with an official starting price of $12880,000 yuan, do you think this model is worth choosing?
Compared with its competitors, whether it is the overall line or the details, the Leap C10 shows a modern and dynamic temperament. The front face adopts a mainstream closed grille, which is combined with sharp headlights to make the overall design more aggressive. The smooth side lines of the body and the large panoramic sunroof on the roof further add to the stylish sense of the vehicle. At the rear, a continuous taillight design is used to make the whole more recognizable. In general, the exterior design of the Leapmotor C10 is in line with the pursuit of personality, sportiness and fashion among modern young people.
However, the Leapmotor C10 also has some shortcomings in terms of exterior design. First of all, compared to some competitors in the same class, its overall body feels slightly bloated and lacks a sense of lightness. Secondly, some of the details of the body are not completely unconventional, and are slightly conservative compared to some avant-garde design concepts. In addition, despite the smooth lines of the whole vehicle, we can see some things that are not refined enough in the processing of some details.
Fortunately, as soon as you enter the cabin, you will be conquered by the spacious space, this model uses a body of 4739*1900*1680 mm, and the wheelbase is 2825 mm, which creates an excellent cabin space, so that passengers feel comfortable and free on long journeys. At the same time, the interior of the Leapmotor C10 uses high-quality soft materials, which feel delicate, creating a strong luxury atmosphere. Equipped with comfortable seats and a multi-function steering wheel, it provides the driver with an excellent driving experience. In addition, the Leapmotor C10 is also equipped with an advanced intelligent infotainment system and navigation system, which can easily meet the various needs of modern life. Overall, the interior design of the Leapmotor C10 is both stylish and practical, providing users with a comfortable and intelligent car experience.
Aside from the advantages, the interior design of the Leap C10 may not be excellent enough for some consumers. For example, the Leapmotor C10 uses hard plastic in some parts, which reduces the overall texture to a certain extent. In addition, although the storage space in the car is relatively large, there are some inconveniences in the design. For example, the storage compartment in the center console is often obscured by the occupants who need to place their belongings, making it inconvenient to use.
In terms of power system, Leapmotor C10 now has seven models on sale, including three extended range models and four pure electric models, which meet the needs of different consumers. Let's not talk about the power parameters of Leap C10, it can meet the needs of consumers for daily cars, let's talk about the endurance performance of this model. According to the official information of Leapmotor, the extended range version of Leapmotor C10 has a pure electric range of 140 kilometers (WLTC mode), and a comprehensive range of 1020 km (WLTC mode); The pure electric version of the Leapmotor C10 has a version with a range of 410 km and a version with a range of 530 km (WLTC mode), which can meet the daily commuting needs of consumers, but it is not outstanding.
Compared to the product power, Leap C10 from 12The price starts at 880,000 yuan, which is relatively competitive. Considering the model's mid-size SUV positioning, and the fact that it is equipped with good configuration and performance, the relatively low **, this car does have a certain appeal. However, in the current market, there are many competitors of the Leapmotor C10, and there are many models with similar prices, so consumers need to consider the cost performance between them and other models when choosing.
To sum up, as a new model positioned as a mid-size SUV, the Leapmotor C10 has certain advantages in terms of its exterior design and interior design in showing its personality and sense of fashion. However, there are still some deficiencies in the details and overall styling. When it comes to whether or not this car is worth buying, I think consumers should consider the strengths and weaknesses of other competitors in the same class, as well as their personal needs and preferences for the performance and configuration of the vehicle. But overall, the cost performance of the Leap C10 is still good.
