Leapmotor’s C10 Sports+
Leapmotor confirmed a special‑edition C10 Sports+ with all‑wheel drive — a departure from the rest of the C10 lineup’s rear‑wheel drive — and priced it from $53,888 before on‑road costs (Dungog Chronicle) (dungogchronicle.com.au). It’s being marketed as a “supercar‑chaser” and carries a $4,000 premium over the previous top trim, positioning the C10 Sports+ as an accessible performance EV on the 2026 launch calendar (Dungog Chronicle) (dungogchronicle.com.au).
Leapmotor’s Sports+ ramps peak output to about 440 kW (≈598 PS) and 760 Nm of torque, cutting the 0–100 km/h sprint to roughly 4.0 seconds. (carscoops.com) The special edition adopts an 81.9 kWh LFP high‑voltage battery with an 800‑volt electrical architecture, giving a WLTP‑rated range of up to about 437 km and DC fast‑charging up to 180 kW (30–80% in ≈22 minutes). (whichcar.com.au) Standard equipment on the Sports+ includes 20‑inch alloy wheels, a 14.6‑inch central touchscreen, a 10.25‑inch digital driver display, a 12‑speaker audio pack, a 360‑degree camera system that doubles as a dashcam, wireless phone charging and heated/ventilated front seats. (goauto.com.au) The edition is offered in two exterior treatments (Pearl White with black decals or Metallic Black with grey decals) paired with a black‑only interior and bespoke Sports+ embroidered mats and rear badging. (carsifu.my) Leapmotor positions the Sports+ as a performance leap over the standard C10’s roughly 160 kW/320 Nm output and the new numbers have prompted media comparisons with much pricier sports cars while being pitched against mainstream performance EVs in Australia. (carsguide.com.au) Leapmotor Australia says orders are open and the first Australian deliveries are scheduled from April, with the Sports+ carrying the same six‑year/150,000 km vehicle warranty and an eight‑year/160,000 km high‑voltage battery warranty.
