With the advent of 2024, the degree of involution in the domestic auto market has intensified, and in addition to the traditional big-name car companies such as BYD and Changan, many new car-making forces such as Leapmotor and Ideal have launched new cars in order to occupy market share. Among them, Leapmotor C10 is a new car series, positioning overlapping with its own Leapmotor C11, are medium-sized SUVs, although Leapmotor C11 sales in the past year are unsatisfactory, so why does Leapmotor launch the same positioning of Leapmotor C10 to seize the market?
The 7 models of the Leapmotor C10 are all on sale in March this year, including two types of extended range version and pure electric version, and the official guide price is from 12580,000 yuan to 16It ranges from 880,000 yuan, and the starting price of the pure electric version is lower than that of the extended range version, which is still rare in the new energy vehicle market.
In terms of power, the Leap C10 extended range version is equipped with 1The range extender power system composed of 5L range extender + 170kW motor has a maximum output of 170kW and a peak torque of 320N·m, and the corresponding official 000 acceleration time is 768 seconds. The Leapmotor C10 pure electric version is all equipped with permanent magnet synchronous motors, and the book parameters are consistent with the extended range version, and the official zero hundred driving time is 729 seconds.
The Leapmotor C10 extended range version uses lithium iron phosphate batteries with a battery capacity of 284kWh, the corresponding WLTC pure electric range is 140km, and the range is not crotched in the same price range, which basically fits the current user's car radius, 05 hours of fast charging or 3 hours of slow charging can achieve battery replenishment, and the charging rate has reached the mainstream of the market, which is conducive to saving time and cost. Leapmotor C10 pure electric version of CLTC pure electric mileage has 410km and 530km two performance driving, the general mileage of the car in the city, and the charging conditions are convenient, the entry of the short range version can meet the requirements, the medium and high configuration version is more suitable for those who are prone to range anxiety.
Although Leapmotor C10 and Leapmotor C11 are both medium-sized SUVs owned by Leapmotor, the length, width and height of Leapmotor C10 are 4739 1900 1680mm, the wheelbase is 2825mm, and the body size is much smaller than Leapmotor C11, so the riding space will be compressed accordingly, but the height of the car is slightly higher than that of Leapmotor C11, so even tall people can stretch out when sitting in the back. In addition to the seating space, the trunk volume of the two cars is also different, the trunk volume of the Leap C10 is only 370L in the normal state, and it is a bit difficult to place three suitcases of different sizes at the same time, if there is a need to fold down the rear seats, the space will be expanded to 835L.
In terms of interior, the center console of Leapmotor C10 is outlined with smooth and rounded lines, and the minimalist design style is similar to that of Leapmotor C11, 1025-inch full LCD instrument cluster and 14The 6-inch central control screen is also given in the car,It is a more common configuration in new energy vehicles,The original mobile phone interconnection mapping、GPS navigation system and OTA upgrades and other conventional functions are not absent,But compared to Leap C11The co-driver entertainment screen has been canceled,The driving pleasure has been reduced。 Whether the car is a pure electric version or an extended range version, the chip of the entry model is Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155, and the operation smoothness of the car machine is not as good as the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 in the middle and high configuration version.
The seats of the Leapmotor C10 are covered by imitation leather material, and the whole system has the function of electric adjustment in the front row, heating and ventilation are optional, and there is a certain gap with the Leapmotor C11 in terms of comfort. However, the car is still very good in terms of safety configuration, the whole system is equipped with active braking, lane centering and L2 level assisted driving, etc., and the middle and high configuration version also has collision warning, fatigue driving tips, etc., which is more friendly to long-distance drivers.
Although both cars are medium-sized SUVs, the size of the Leapmotor C11 is larger and the interior configuration is richer, so the product competitiveness will be stronger. Due to the low price of the Leap C10, it is easier to attract some users with limited budgets, and it seems that the two cars are fighting themselves, but in fact, such a strategy has also been seen in the BYD Song PLUS DM-i and Song PRO DM-i. In 2024, the competition among car companies seems to be intensifying, and whoever can seize more market share will survive longer, so Leapmotor launched the new Leapmotor C11 and Leapmotor C10 at the same time to achieve the purpose of occupying the mid-size SUV market. I think if you are a user on a budget, then the Leapmotor C10 is more suitable, and if you pay more attention to comfort and car quality, then the Leapmotor C11 is more worth buying.
