The same battery allows the RWD variant, which features a single 215 hp (160 kW / 218 PS) motor, to extend its range to 510 km (317 miles). Leapmotor continues to provide the standard C10 with RWD and a smaller 69.9 kWh battery, enabling a range of 420 km (261 miles). Lastly, there is a range-extending version of the SUV featuring a 1.5-liter engine, a 212 hp (158 kW / 215 PS) electric motor, and a 28.4 kWh battery, offering over 950 km (590 miles) of combined range.
