2026 Leapmotor C10 REEV with a range of 950 km

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.

Leapmotor suspends investments in Poland

Carlos Tavares was looking forward to a very successful future when a few months ago it was confirmed that the first electric cars from the Chinese manufacturer Leapmotor would leave the factory in Tychy. However, before it even started, everything fell apart because Leapmotor decided to stop investing in the factory in Poland.

It’s a project that Leapmotor was supposed to launch with one of the world’s largest automotive conglomerates, Stellantis, but at the end of last month, the Chinese government called on its manufacturers to immediately stop investing in Europe in response to the imposition of tariffs on their products.

Not all EU members were in favor of introducing additional tariffs on Chinese products, such as Germany, Hungary, Malta, Slovenia or Slovakia, but 10 of them stood by the decision that the new tariffs will protect the European market. One of them is Poland, so China started to take revenge.

In the factory in Tychy, semi-finished products are assembled, and the Chinese company has informed the Polish Trade and Investment Agency that, according to the order of the Chinese Ministry of Economy, it is suspending investments in Poland.

The only model that Leapmotor will produce in Poland for now is the T03, and the first cars will leave the production lines in the coming weeks.

2025 Leapmotor B10 SUV

At the Paris Motor Show, the Chinese company Leapmotor presented its new SUV, the Leapmotor B10. It will arrive on the European market at the end of 2024 and is expected to cost less than 30,000 euros.

Sleek in design, the B10 looks like a combination of the C10 and Porsche Cayenne at first glance, with simple body lines, thin light bars at the ends of the front end and flat door handles. Photos of the car’s interior have not been released, and some believe it is a minimalist design with large screens on the dashboard, which is standard in new EVs.

The B10 is the third car from the Chinese manufacturer to come to the European market, after the T03 and SUV C10. It will be built on the LEAP 3.5 platform and will be offered as an all-electric version and an extended-range version equipped with a 1.5-L engine.

Details about the car are few, but what the company has said is that the B10 will be equipped with advanced driver assistance systems, a customizable digital cockpit and smart connectivity.
