The Future of Driving Has Arrived
Michael Owen, the legendary former England striker, has officially made the leap into electric mobility.
As the UK’s first Leapmotor customer, Owen’s move to the C10 marks a shift in the EV market. Priced at £36,500 (RM204,107), this D-segment SUV offers cutting-edge tech and top safety ratings, leading the way in sustainable driving.
Why Michael Owen chose the Leapmotor C10?
As a former athlete and racehorse breeder, Owen values power, agility, and reliability—key traits of the Leapmotor C10. With a 263-mile (WLTP) range, premium comfort, and advanced safety, this SUV perfectly suits his family’s active lifestyle.
“The C10 is stunning. It’s got incredible tech, ample space, and a top-level safety rating—it’s exactly what I need,” Owen shared, clearly impressed by the vehicle’s blend of performance and practicality.
A Bold Move for the UK EV Market
Leapmotor isn’t just launching cars—it’s redefining affordable premium EVs. Along with the C10, the compact T03 city car will launch in the UK on March 1, 2025, starting at £16,000 (RM89,764). This release comes from a strong partnership between Stellantis and Leapmotor, blending decades of automotive expertise with cutting-edge EV technology.
As Leapmotor UK Managing Director Damien Dally stated, “Michael Owen is an incredible first signing for our brand,” highlighting the significance of this partnership. The C10 and T03 offer top-tier value, with high-tech features, outstanding quality, and a four-year warranty to ensure total peace of mind.”
Global Expansion and What’s Next
Leapmotor’s ambitions don’t stop at the UK. The brand is rapidly expanding across Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, Africa, and South America, bringing smart, affordable EVs to a global audience.
In Malaysia, the C10 is already making waves, priced at RM159,000 with an extensive 6-year or 150,000km warranty. With an 8-year or 160,000km battery warranty, it’s clear that Leapmotor is not just selling cars—it’s offering a long-term commitment to sustainable mobility.
