Leapmotor Launches 440 kW C10 AWD Sports+ In Australia From $53,888

Overview

• Leapmotor, which confirmed the AWD Sports+ for Australia on Tuesday, set pricing at $53,888 plus on-road costs with first arrivals due in April.
• The dual-motor setup is rated at 440 kW and 760 Nm and the company claims 0–100 km/h in 4.0 seconds.
• The SUV switches to an 800-volt system and an 81.9 kWh LFP battery that supports 180 kW DC fast charging and a WLTP range claim of 437 km.
• TorqueCafe calculates about $122.47 per kilowatt and calls it the most power per dollar on sale in Australia, and Carscoops notes it undercuts Tesla Model Y RWD and BYD Sealion 7 Performance as Leapmotor has not detailed any brake or suspension upgrades for the extra output.
• The C10 has struggled in the segment, with 344 sold in 2025 and 39 so far in 2026, and Leapmotor is adding this higher-output variant to compete with better-selling mid-size EVs.
