At the 2023 Munich Motor Show, Chinese company Leapmotor unveiled its new mid-size crossover SUV, the C10. It is the first car developed after Stellantis formed a joint venture with Leapmotor, and the Chinese company is announcing the arrival of a new version of this model, the Leapmotor C10 REEV with a range of almost 1,000 km.
The Leapmotor C10 REEV is a special variant of the C10, which is already on sale in the Netherlands, and will make its debut at the Brussels Motor Show. It will be just the beginning of an expansion to other European markets where Stellantis expects good results.
The car is powered by a single electric motor with 215 hp (158 kW) combined with a 1.5-L gasoline engine. It is equipped with a 28.4 kWh battery that allows a range of 145 kilometers, which is equivalent to many of the latest generation plug-in hybrid cars, but now the total range has been increased to 950 kilometers. The petrol engine acts as a generator, producing electricity, charging the battery and increasing the range. The battery is charged in just 18 minutes thanks to a 65 kW charger. It should also be noted that fuel consumption is very low, only 0.4 l/100 km.
In Europe, the car is currently only available in the Netherlands at a price of 39,050 euros.
