COVER FEATURE
Watching battery levels or planning your day around charging stops isn’ t very exciting, especially when you’ re ready for your next trip. Electric cars should feel smooth, appealing, and ready to take you wherever you want to go.
That’ s exactly where the Leapmotor C10 Hybrid EV steps in. Designed to combine the refined experience of electric mobility with the freedom to travel further, it offers South African drivers the best of both worlds: smooth, near-silent electric driving, paired with an extended range for when journeys stretch beyond the city – or beyond the itinerary.
With a total driving range of up to 970km, the Leapmotor C10 Hybrid EV fits seamlessly into a jet-setter lifestyle. Airport runs become calmer and more composed. Weekend escapes feel spontaneous rather than planned. And long-distance road trips emerge as a genuine alternative to flying, without the usual compromises associated with electric vehicles.
A FULL ELECTRIC DRIVING EXPERIENCE
What’ s the secret? It lies in the C10 Hybrid EV’ s intelligent range-extended powertrain. For daily commuting and urban driving, it operates as a pure electric vehicle, delivering the efficiency, responsiveness and low running costs that EV drivers value. On longer journeys, a petrol generator discreetly extends the available range, allowing drivers to continue without interruption. The transition is seamless, keeping the focus firmly on the road ahead.
Offering a total range of 970km, everything from business-week commuting to longweekend road trips becomes easier. Whether drivers are leaving town after their final landing of the week or opting for four wheels instead of wings, they can travel with confidence – without constantly monitoring battery levels or adjusting plans mid-journey.
