C10 RWD 69.9 kWh

The Leapmotor C10 RWD 69.9 kWh is a 5-seat SUV with rear-wheel drive, on sale in the UK from £36,500. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 7.5 seconds, slower than 64% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 221 miles (355 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 33% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 174th of 242 SUVs.

It uses around 3.2 mi/kWh (197 Wh/km), less efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 69.9 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 70 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 204 miles (329 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it supports vehicle-to-load (V2L), so it can power appliances from its battery. The battery uses LFP chemistry, which manufacturers generally allow to be charged to 100% routinely.

Its UK starting price works out at £165 per mile of real-world range, lower than the median for SUVs (£186 per mile).

Second-hand, a 2024 example is estimated at £17,300–£19,500 and a 2025 one at £20,800–£23,700, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2024 car should still manage about 212 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
