Stay tuned for updated car news from China’s auto industry:
Leapmotor is offering a limited-time package valued at up to 9,680 RMB ($1,340 USD), which includes options for exterior colors and wheel designs. Additionally, customers can benefit from a 2-year zero-interest financing plan and four lifetime free warranty services.
In terms of design, the A10 adopts the “Tech-Natural Aesthetics 2.0” language. The “smiling” headlights feature a rounded, unconventional shape that gives the vehicle a lively personality, complemented by a trapezoidal lower air intake and functional vents in the fog light areas. The car is available in six exterior colors: Seaweed Green, Acorn Brown, Berry Blue, Tundra Gray, Galaxy Silver, and Morgan Pink.
From the side, the A10 features a compact and agile profile with thick, black wheel arches that emphasize its crossover styling. The D-pillar incorporates a blacked-out design to create a floating roof effect, accented with playful decorative elements. The vehicle measures 4270/1810/1635mm in length, width, and height, with a wheelbase of 2605mm, and rides on 18-inch wheels. The rear is highlighted by distinctive “laughing” taillights that look both quirky and cute when illuminated.
Inside, the cabin is equipped with a dual-spoke multifunction steering wheel, an 8.88-inch full LCD instrument cluster, and a 14.6-inch 2.5K floating central touchscreen. It is powered by the SA8295 cockpit chip and features the “Super Little Leap” AI assistant based on Tongyi Qianwen. Below the central screen, a floating IP bar allows for the integration of ambient lighting, fragrance diffusers, safety hammers, or humidifiers. The front seats and steering wheel are heated, and the interior offers clever storage solutions, including a 106L sunken storage compartment in the trunk and rear seat cushions that can flip up by 60 degrees to provide extra space.
Regarding driver assistance, the A10 is equipped with LiDAR and the SA8650 chip, supporting full-scenario “door-to-door” assisted driving, including City NAP, highway navigation, and memory parking. For passive safety, the vehicle utilizes a 9-horizontal and 7-vertical high-strength cage structure, with 2000MPa aviation-grade hot-formed steel used in critical areas.
Powering the A10 is a single electric motor with peak outputs of 70kW or 90kW and 150 Nm of torque. It offers two battery options: 39.8kWh and 53kWh, corresponding to CLTC ranges of 403km and 505km, respectively. The vehicle supports fast charging, capable of replenishing from 30% to 80% in just 16 minutes.
