Electrifying Luxury: The Leapmotor C10 Takes Women’s Day for a Spin
Driving Change: An Electrified Tribute to Women
In an era where luxury meets sustainability, the Leapmotor C10 is more than just a vehicle; it’s a statement. To celebrate International Women’s Day 2025, Stellantis Malaysia put the power quite literally into the hands of top female editors and journalists, offering them an exclusive driving experience in the all-new electric Leapmotor C10. And trust us—this was more than just a test drive; it was a revolution on wheels.
An Exclusive Experience, A Powerful Message
At the heart of this event was an intention greater than promoting an electric vehicle. It was about demonstrating how innovation, sustainability, and progress intersect to create a world where women are not just passengers but drivers of change. The day began with a hands-on presentation by Delinda Ye, Brand Manager for Leapmotor, who walked the assembled journalists through the C10’s futuristic features.
Then came the moment of truth: the open road. With two female journalists per car, the convoy embarked on a thoughtfully curated route toward Putrajaya. The journey offered a taste of what the C10 truly brings to the table: seamless city driving, highway exhilaration, and, most importantly, an antidote to range anxiety.
Design: Elegance Meets Innovation
The Leapmotor C10 is not just easy on the eyes; it’s a masterclass in automotive design. Having snagged both the French Design Award 2024 and the US MUSE Design Award 2024, this car is proof that functionality and aesthetics are no longer mutually exclusive.
Its Active Grille Shutter intelligently adjusts airflow to maximize efficiency. Sleek flush door handles, a hidden rear wiper, and a sporty rear spoiler complement its aerodynamic silhouette. And with 20-inch ‘Trident’ alloy wheels, the C10 doesn’t just move—it glides.
A Cabin Designed for the Future
Step inside, and you’re greeted by a contemporary haven designed for modern living. The seats, wrapped in OEKO-Tex Standard 100® silicone textile, offer an eco-conscious alternative without sacrificing luxury. More than just a pretty touch, this material is non-toxic, child-friendly, and built to withstand the test of time.
The C10 doesn’t just think about comfort; it prioritizes well-being. Its PM2.5 air filtration system ensures a cleaner cabin environment, while its ventilated seats turn every drive into a first-class experience. And for those who prefer personalization, piano-style electric air vents let you direct airflow with surgical precision.
Safety: Confidence in Every Mile
Safety is where the Leapmotor C10 truly flexes its muscle. Armed with 16 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), it anticipates potential hazards before you even realize they’re there. Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) ensures you stay within the lines, while Forward Collision Warning (FCW) keeps unexpected traffic stops from turning into disasters.
For those tricky reverse manoeuvres, Rear Cross Traffic Alert with Braking (RCTA + RCTB) is a game-changer, detecting and preventing potential collisions. And with five-star safety ratings from Euro NCAP, Australian ANCAP, and China’s C-NCAP, you can drive with the assurance that you and your passengers are in safe hands.
Performance: Emissions-Free, Limitless Potential
An impressive 424 km range on a single charge makes the Leapmotor C10 a viable daily driver without the lingering fear of running out of juice. Quick-charging capabilities allow you to go from 30% to 80% battery capacity in just 30 minutes, proving that convenience and sustainability can go hand in hand.
Tech Meets Practicality
Connectivity is king, and the C10 understands that. Its massive 14.6-inch infotainment screen, paired with a 10.2-inch digital driver display, transforms every ride into an immersive experience. Traditional buttons? Who needs them? With a clean, tablet-like interface, the C10 centralizes controls for an intuitive and seamless interaction.
But the real surprise lies in its adaptability. Need a break? Enter “Nap Mode,” fold down the seats, choose a soothing ambient sound, and take a quick rest. Planning an adventure? Expand the cargo space to 1,410 liters for all your gear. And for the outdoor enthusiasts, “Camp Mode” optimizes energy consumption while maintaining cabin temperature, ensuring comfort no matter where you park.
The Future is Electric, and It’s Here
The Leapmotor C10 is more than a car; it’s a glimpse into the future of mobility. With Stellantis backing its global expansion, Leapmotor has already positioned itself as a top contender in the NEV (New Energy Vehicle) market, ranking as the third most successful NEV startup in China.
Now available in Malaysia for RM159,000 (on the road, without insurance), the Leapmotor C10 comes in Glazed Green, Pearly White, Canopy Grey, and Tundra Grey. The interior color options include Criollo Brown (exclusive to Glazed Green) and Midnight Aurora.
