Leapmotor C10 prototypes are currently undergoing a rigorous testing program at the Stellantis Tech Center South America. Engineers are subjecting the vehicle to intensive tests under various conditions, including extreme ones, to verify its performance, durability, and reliability. The goal is to ensure that the C10 meets the group’s high standards of quality and efficiency while responding to the specific needs of local markets.
This validation process reflects Stellantis‘ global approach, which aims to offer an excellent driving experience in all environmental and road conditions for all group brands in the South American region.

As an exception, Stellantis and Leapmotor have allowed the documentation of some testing phases through an exclusive web series. The first episode will show the arrival of the first C10s in the region and will include perspectives from Emanuele Cappellano, President of Stellantis South America, and Fernando Varela, Vice President of Leapmotor South America, on this new path towards more sustainable, safe, and accessible mobility.
