Leapmotor Australia has handed the 2026 C10 a serious technical upgrade, and buyers pay nothing extra for it. The new C10 Design Long Range BEV lands with a bigger battery, more power and much faster charging, yet keeps its $49,888 price before on-road costs. It is available to order now.
What is new
The biggest change sits under the skin. Leapmotor has moved the C10 BEV from a 400-volt to an 800-volt electrical architecture, the same setup used in the dual-motor AWD Sports+ Special Edition. That switch unlocks quicker charging and sharper performance. The battery grows from 69.9kWh to 81.9kWh, lifting claimed WLTP range from 420km to 510km. Smaller updates round it out: two NFC keycards are now standard, the tyre repair kit gains a sealant canister, and Yokohama Advan Sport EV tyres replace the previous rubber.

At under $50,000 the C10 Design Long Range muscles into a crowded fight against Chinese mid-size electric SUVs. The BYD Sealion 7, Geely EX5 and Zeekr 7X are all squarely in its sights. More range, more power and faster charging for the same money is a rare combination, and it makes the updated C10 a far tougher rival than the car it replaces.
