The offering covering the European market from Leapmotor will initially include two models. They are the T03 compact car and the C10 D-segment SUV. The T03, with its optimal size and range of up to 280 km (WLTP), will be aimed more at an urban audience that is looking for an electric alternative that is practical and economical. The C10, on the other hand, will be an alternative for a more spacious and comfortable driving experience, with a range that will be capable of up to 420 km (WLTP).
