It is available in an extended-range version and a pure electric version, with a combined range of 1020km
In terms of power, Leapmotor C10 provides an extended range version and a pure electric version to choose from, of which the extended range version adopts the same 1 as the C01 and C11 extended range versionsThe 5-liter Atkinson four-cylinder range extender has a maximum power of 70 kilowatts, a maximum power of 170 kilowatts of the drive motor, a peak torque of 320 Nm, and an official acceleration time of 7 per 100 km/hIn 68 seconds, the maximum speed can reach 170km h, and the fuel consumption is 51l/100km。In terms of battery life, it has a capacity of 28The 4 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery pack has a pure electric range of 210km under CLTC working conditions, and a comprehensive WLTC range of 1020km when fully fueled and fully charged.
The pure electric version is equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a maximum power of 170 kilowatts and a peak torque of 320 Nm, and the official acceleration time of 100 kilometers is 7In 2 seconds, the top speed can reach 170 km h. In terms of battery life, it offers a capacity of 529 kWh and 69A 9 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery pack is optional, and the corresponding CLTC working condition pure electric range is 410km and 530km respectively.
In addition, both the extended range version and the pure electric version support DC fast charging and AC slow flush functions, and in fast charging mode, it only takes 30 minutes to replenish 30%-80% SOC power. At the same time, 33 kilowatt external discharge function, which can meet the needs of outdoor camping.
In terms of chassis, the Leapmotor C10 adopts a combination of front MacPherson independent suspension and rear multi-link independent suspension. What are the competitors? What are the advantages of Leapmotor C10?
BYD Song Plus Glory Edition Guide price range: 1298-18.980,000 yuan.
Navy S7 Glory Edition guide price range: 1499-20.790,000 yuan
Judging from the current market situation, the competitors of Leapmotor C10 include new energy SUVs such as Deep Blue S7, BYD Song PLUS Glory Edition, and Geely Galaxy L7. Relatively speaking, the most prominent advantage of Leapmotor C10 is that it is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chip and LiDAR, which can be called the smartest SUV in the market segment.
In addition, the styling design of Leapmotor C10 is relatively simple and advanced, and the body size is large, with a wheelbase of 2825mm, which provides the most basic space guarantee for family users, coupled with relatively good fuel economy and long mileage, it is expected to become an ideal choice for family travel.
Which configuration is the most cost-effective? The intelligent driving version may be more recommended Leapmotor C10 has a total of 7 models on sale, including 4 pure extended range models and 3 pure electric models, of which the biggest difference between the extended range version and the pure electric version is the power system, if you need to take into account the needs of long-distance travel, and worry about range anxiety, give priority to the extended range version of the model; However, if the car use scenario is more only in the urban area, occasionally cross-city travel, and there are charging piles at home or complete charging facilities around, then you can consider the pure electric version of the model, which has a lower travel cost and better driving experience.
Specific to the configuration, whether it is an extended range version or a pure electric version of the model, the difference between them is reflected in the configuration, intelligence, intelligent driving three aspects, how to choose is indeed not an easy task.
If you just like the styling design, body size, three-electric system and other aspects of the Leap C10, you are not interested in intelligence, you can consider the comfortable version of the model (except for the 410 comfort version), * low enough, the configuration is not shabby, standard with three driving modes, 540-degree panoramic image with transparent chassis, L2 level assisted driving system, far and near LED headlights, 146 inches 25K large screen, 8155 chip, 15W wireless fast charging for mobile phones, main and co-pilot electric seats, 12-speaker audio and rear air conditioning outlets, etc., can fully meet daily needs, and more importantly, the power and battery life are consistent with high-end models.
However, I believe that since I will choose the car Leap C10, it is basically considered for intelligence, so it may be more worthwhile to spend an extra 10,000 yuan to choose the smart version. Its biggest upgrade is the replacement of the 8295 chip, and at the same time, on the basis of the comfortable version, the front and rear head air curtains, more complete auxiliary driving functions, electric trunk, panoramic sunroof, main driver's seat memory and other configurations have been added.
Of course, if you pursue high-end intelligent driving, you can spend an additional 20,000 yuan to choose the intelligent driving version, which is equipped with NVIDIA Orin-X chip and lidar with a total of 30 intelligent driving sensors, which can realize high-speed pilot assisted driving, and the configuration is consistent with the intelligent version as a whole.
Overall, Leap C10 has a recommended reason for each configuration, but if you take into account the irreplaceability, the 8295 chip equipped with the models above the Zhixiang version will have a better experience, and it will not be easily eliminated in the future, and the functions that can be expanded and upgraded are also richer. As for the lidar and NVIDIA ORIN-X chips carried by the intelligent driving version, it is the biggest selling point of the Leapmotor C10 in the market segment. So this time, I recommend everyone to consider the top intelligent driving version, followed by the intelligent enjoyment version.
Write at the end. The launch of the Leapmotor C10 further enriches the product line of Leapmotor, making its layout in the SUV market more comprehensive, meeting the increasingly diverse needs of consumers, and enhancing the competitiveness of Leapmotor in the market. By providing models with different positioning and different ranges, Leapmotor can better cover various consumer groups, thereby expanding its market share.
More importantly, the Leapmotor C10 lowers the threshold of high-end intelligent assisted driving technology to 160,000 yuan, which is a revolutionary breakthrough for the entire automobile market, so that more consumers can enjoy the convenience brought by this advanced technology. This will not only help improve the intelligent level of the entire automotive industry, but also promote the popularization and development of high-end intelligent assisted driving technology, promote market competition and innovation, and is expected to lead the future development trend of the entire automotive industry.
