2027 Leapmotor C10 AWD Sports+: Australia's Best 'Power-Per-Dollar' EV Returns with New Look
To stimulate sales through the final quarter of the year, Leapmotor is offering a complimentary 7kW AC wall charger—valued at up to $800—for all C10 AWD Sports+ orders placed and delivered between October 1 and December 31, 2026.
Leapmotor Australia has confirmed a new allocation of the high-performance C10 AWD Sports+ special-edition electric SUV is now on sale locally, bringing a new exterior colour option and a limited-time complimentary charging offer.
The flagship variant retains its aggressive pricing strategy at $53,888 before on-road costs. With total system outputs of 440kW, the C10 Sports+ mathematically stands as Australia's most potent car for the money, offering performance at a ratio of $122.47 per kilowatt.
Powertrain and Charging Architecture
While the standard rear-wheel-drive C10 utilizes a single 220kW/360Nm electric motor, the Sports+ doubles the hardware. It employs a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive powertrain generating 440kW of power and 720Nm of torque.
This performance is underpinned by an 800-volt electrical architecture and an 81.9kWh lithium-iron phosphate (LFP) battery pack. The setup yields a WLTP-certified driving range of 437 kilometres and supports DC fast-charging speeds of up to 180kW. According to Leapmotor, the 800V system allows the battery to recharge from 30 to 80 per cent in approximately 22 minutes.

Styling Updates and Standard Equipment

The new purple finish joins the carryover options of Pearl White (paired with black decals) and Metallic Black (paired with grey decals). The introduction of Dawn Purple aligns the C10 with a growing trend in the Australian SUV market, joining similarly coloured rivals such as the XPeng G6, Porsche Macan, and Mazda CX-6e.
Beyond the bespoke side decals and 'Sports+' rear badging, interior modifications for the special edition are limited to unique carpet floor mats featuring red contrast stitching and an embroidered cargo mat.
