KUALA LUMPUR: Leapmotor International, a 51/49 Stellantis-led company between Stellantis and Leapmotor, has shipped the first batch of Leapmotor's C10 SUVs from Shanghai, China, to various ports in the Asia Pacific region this month.
Leapmotor International is set to sell electric vehicles in Malaysia, Thailand, Nepal, Australia and New Zealand starting this month and plans to establish over 40 sales points for Leapmotor vehicles in the India and Asia Pacific region by the end of 2024.
Leapmotor describes the C10 as a fully equipped, family-centric D-segment vehicle with best-in-segment premium ride and handling experience, featuring 420km WLTP range.
It is Leapmotor’s first global product, built according to global design and safety standards.
It has not been tested for its Euro NCAP safety rating yet but it made a bold claim that the C10 would be able to earn 5 stars.
Leapmotor is the third top Chinese EV start-up brand with cumulative deliveries of 460,000 units by September 2024.
There is at least one model planned to go on sale every year in the next three years.
The C10 is based on Leapmotor’s self-developed LEAP3.0 technology architecture, featuring intelligent electric technology such as central integrated electronic and electrical architecture, cell-to-chassis technology and a smart cockpit.
