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

The cut-price AWD aims to jolt weak C10 sales with headline power at a budget entry price.

Overview

  • Leapmotor, which announced Tuesday, will bring the C10 AWD Sports+ Special Edition to Australia in April at AU$53,888 plus on-road costs.
  • The dual-motor setup is rated at 440 kW and 760 Nm, and the company claims a 0–100 km/h time of about 4.0 seconds.
  • The new model uses an 81.9 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery on an 800-volt system, with a WLTP range of 437 km and 30–80% DC charging in roughly 22 minutes at up to 180 kW.
  • Media highlight its value pitch, with TorqueCafe calculating $122.47 per kilowatt and outlets noting it undercuts some Tesla Model Y and BYD Sealion 7 Performance versions on price.
  • Reporters flag buyer cautions, with no disclosed braking or suspension upgrades to match the power jump, and CarExpert says Australia will get only 50 units.
