Verdict
SUV de 4,74 m, 5 places, classé 5 étoiles à l'Euro NCAP (Vision Mobility, décembre 2024), proposé en électrique de 217 ch et en hybride à prolongateur d'autonomie (REEV) de 215 ch. Les retours publiés portent surtout sur l'électronique : pertes d'aides à la conduite, mises à jour logicielles défaillantes, recharge refusée sur certaines bornes. En février 2026, environ 800 propriétaires belges de B10 ou C10 n'ont pu démarrer à cause d'un bug logiciel lié à la fonction V2L, corrigé par mise à jour à distance. Le recul est faible : vérifiez que les mises à jour sont installées.

You are importing the car to:
Import penalty (malus) in France
- Emissions of the versions in this guide: 10 g CO₂/km (check the value on the car's registration certificate).
- The CO₂ malus follows the scale of the year the vehicle was first registered, in France or abroad (WLTP or NEDC scale depending on its registration certificate).
- For an imported used car, it is reduced by a flat-rate discount based on its age in months (scheme in force since 1 March 2025). The weight malus also applies on first registration in France.
- The malus is zero for a car more than fifteen years old or first registered before 1 January 2015.

Voiture qui ne démarre plus (bug V2L, batterie 12 V)
Severity 1/3 · AnnoyingEn février 2026, environ 800 propriétaires belges de B10 ou C10 n'ont plus pu démarrer : la voiture croyait à tort être connectée en V2L ; le constructeur a corrigé le bug par mise à jour logicielle. Fiches-auto relate aussi quelques C10 devenus inertes ou incapables de sélectionner un rapport, remis en route parfois par une réinitialisation ou la déconnexion de la batterie 12 V.

Inspection checklist
Leapmotor C10 I — inspection checklist
Things to check
- Vérifier que toutes les mises à jour logicielles ont été installées (démarrage, aides à la conduite, recharge).
- Tester les aides à la conduite (régulateur, maintien dans la voie) : des pertes de fonctions ont été signalées.
- Essayer la recharge sur une borne rapide et sur une borne en courant alternatif.
- Contrôler l'état de la batterie 12 V et le démarrage à froid : des C10 sont devenus inertes.
- Identifier la version : électrique de 217 ch ou hybride rechargeable REEV de 215 ch (coffre de 435 ou 400 litres selon Fiches-auto).
Questions to ask the seller
- Les mises à jour logicielles sont-elles à jour, et la voiture a-t-elle déjà refusé de démarrer ?
- Les aides à la conduite et le multimédia ont-ils déjà eu des pertes de fonctions ?
- La recharge s'est-elle déjà interrompue ou refusée sur certaines bornes ?
Test-drive tip: read the fault codes
A warning light that is off proves nothing: a fault may have been cleared just before the viewing. A Bluetooth OBD2 scanner, plugged in under the steering wheel and read on your phone, shows stored codes and whether all emissions readiness tests have run since the last reset.

Parts and maintenance
Compare prices of parts for the Leapmotor C10 I (timing, brakes, filters) to estimate the repairs to plan for.
Insure the car
Insurance prices vary widely from one model to another: get a quote before signing.
