Leapmotor is preparing to enter the Indian electric vehicle market with the C10, a premium electric SUV expected to launch on February 15, 2026. The model is currently listed with an estimated price of Rs. 45 lakh*, placing it in the upper end of India’s growing EV segment. The announcement has drawn attention as Leapmotor looks to establish its presence in a competitive and rapidly evolving market.
The Leapmotor C10 is positioned as a mid-size electric SUV aimed at buyers seeking a technology-focused, fully electric alternative in the premium category. While India-specific specifications have not yet been officially disclosed, the C10 is expected to follow Leapmotor’s global design and engineering approach.
Expected Positioning in India
The Leapmotor C10 is expected to target urban and highway users looking for a refined electric SUV experience. Its pricing suggests a focus on private buyers rather than fleet or mass-market customers.
Key positioning highlights include:
- Premium electric SUV segment placement
- Focus on comfort, technology, and modern design
- Targeted at early EV adopters and premium SUV buyers
Expected Features and Highlights
Based on its global positioning, the Leapmotor C10 is expected to offer a feature-rich cabin and advanced electric vehicle architecture.
Expected highlights include:
- Fully electric SUV platform
- Modern exterior styling with aerodynamic design
- Digital instrument cluster and large infotainment display
- Connected car technology features
- Advanced driver assistance and safety systems
- Spacious cabin layout with emphasis on rear-seat comfort
Electric Powertrain and Driving Focus
The Leapmotor C10 is expected to prioritise smooth power delivery and quiet operation, typical of premium electric SUVs. The model is likely to be tuned for a balance of performance and efficiency to suit Indian driving conditions once officially introduced.
While official range and battery details are awaited, the C10 is expected to compete with other premium electric SUVs already available in India.
Price Expectation and Market Impact
With an estimated price of Rs. 45 lakh*, the Leapmotor C10 is expected to sit alongside established electric and premium internal combustion SUVs. The pricing indicates Leapmotor’s intent to position the C10 as a technology-forward alternative rather than a budget-focused EV.
The launch could further expand choices in India’s premium EV space, especially for buyers looking beyond established domestic and international brands.
