SHERIDAN, WYOMING – April 1, 2025 - A new era for long-distance electric driving begins
The Leapmotor C10 Range-Extended EV (REEV) is poised to redefine electric mobility in Europe. Designed to deliver the seamless performance of a traditional EV while eliminating range anxiety, the C10 is making waves at its international media premiere in Spain. Over 100 journalists from around the world are putting the vehicle to the test on a scenic 500 km route between Barcelona and Valencia—and the results speak for themselves.
Proven technology meets consumer needs
Leapmotor’s introduction of the C10 Range-Extended EV into the European market marks a bold and strategic step forward. With a starting price of €37,400, the C10 offers consumers an impressive combination of sustainability, driving pleasure, and unmatched practicality. With a total range of more than 970 km, it’s the answer for drivers who value electric propulsion but need the freedom of longer travel.
“The vehicle is the optimal solution for frequent drivers who also want to travel electrically," said Leapmotor International CEO Tianshu Xin. “This is especially true in the current phase, where the development of e-mobility does not progress equally linear in every country. The C10 REEV will give us significant sales momentum – we expect that every second C10 sold in Europe will be one with a range extender.”
Revolutionizing range-extended driving
Unlike traditional plug-in hybrids, the C10 REEV is engineered from an EV platform, offering superior battery size, electric range, and performance. It integrates a 158 kW (215 HP) electric motor and a 1.5-liter internal combustion engine, giving it a 145 km all-electric range (WLTP) and an extended total range of over 970 km. With CO2 emissions as low as 10 g/km and fuel consumption of just 0.4 L/100 km in combined mode, the C10 delivers high performance with low environmental impact.
The rise of REEVs in China—and now Europe
The REEV market has seen explosive growth in China, with over one million units sold in 2024 alone. Leapmotor has led this transformation, responding directly to what customers actually want—electric performance with flexible range. According to JD Power’s China EV Study 2023, more than 90% of REEV owners express high satisfaction, underscoring the appeal of this balanced technology.
Engineering excellence and driving pleasure
At the heart of the C10 REEV lies an advanced, high-efficiency generator system featuring an 8-layer flat wire hairpin winding design that delivers 96.5% efficiency. This system reduces weight by 8 kg and achieves best-in-class energy conversion, with as little as 0.3L/kWh in optimal conditions. NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) performance has also been fine-tuned for comfort, with a rigid engine block and damping pulley that ensure quiet, smooth driving.
Flexible charging, optimized energy use
The C10’s versatility extends to charging as well. It supports DC and AC fast charging as well as onboard energy generation through its gasoline engine. With 65 kW DC fast charging, drivers can recover half the electric range in just 18 minutes. Consumers can customize energy usage via intuitive on-screen quick commands that prioritize electric performance or power output as needed.
A strategic European debut
Following its global premiere at the Brussels Motor Show in January, the C10 Range-Extended EV is now available for order, with deliveries beginning this month. Its introduction is part of Leapmotor’s broader strategy to scale its presence in Europe. The company, in partnership with Stellantis through their joint venture Leapmotor International, aims to expand aggressively across international markets.
“The range extender technology eliminates range anxiety by combining electric propulsion with a range extender, thus enabling a total range of more than 970 kilometers,” said Tianshu Xin. “With CO2 emissions of only 10 grams per kilometer in the WLTP cycle, the C10 Range-Extended EV combines sustainability with practicality.”
A brand on the rise
Leapmotor is not just launching a car—it’s making a statement. With plans to deliver over 500,000 vehicles in 2025, up from 300,000 in 2024, the company is rapidly becoming one of the leading NEV (New Energy Vehicle) manufacturers. Already among China’s top three NEV startups, Leapmotor is bringing its innovation and momentum to European roads.
The future of driving is here
For consumers seeking an eco-conscious yet convenient alternative to traditional gasoline vehicles, the Leapmotor C10 Range-Extended EV offers the perfect solution. It’s not just a car—it’s a smarter way to drive electric without compromise.
