We recently sampled the updated 2026 Leapmotor C10 and here's what we think of this D-segment EV SUV.

The Leapmotor C10 officially shifted to local assembly (CKD) at the Gurun plant in Kedah in July 2026, marking a crucial step in Stellantis Malaysia's electrification roadmap.

Stellantis Malaysia has begun local assembly of the Leapmotor C10 and B10 at its Gurun plant in Kedah, with both electric SUVs now available at authorised dealers nationwide.
