Leapmotor is the latest Chinese brand to debut in Singapore, with the launch of its C10 electric SUV.
The glut of Chinese car brands flooding into Singapore continues with the introduction of Leapmotor, which was officially launched on 29 October at an event held at the Mandai Rainforest Resort.
Unlike many of the other Chinese brands though, Leapmotor stands out by being part of an international automotive group, in this case, Stellantis. Appropriately enough, Leapmotor’s local distributor, Cycle & Carriage, also carries two other Stellantis brands in Singapore, in the form of Peugeot and Citroen.
“Our long partnership with Stellantis is built on a shared commitment to innovation, quality and customer satisfaction. With Citroën, Peugeot and now Leapmotor under one roof, Cycle & Carriage is well-positioned to offer customers even greater choice and value,” said Wilfrid Foo, Managing Director, Cycle & Carriage Singapore.
Leapmotor’s first model to be offered here is the C10, a D-segment electric SUV that is eligible for a Cat A COE, thanks to its power output of 100kW/134hp.
The C10’s electric motor also produces 320Nm of torque, enabling it to go from 0-100km/h in 10.7 seconds. The 69.9kWh battery gives the car a claimed WLTP combined driving range of 420km.
