Engine and Performance
BEV (Pure Electric): Features a rear-mounted motor producing 218 hp and 320 Nm of torque. It’s balanced and smooth, focusing on comfort rather than aggressive speed.
REEV (Extended Range): Combines the same electric motor with a 1.5L petrol generator. This engine only charges the battery and never drives the wheels directly, maintaining that quiet EV feel.
Acceleration:
BEV: 0–100 km/h in 7.3 seconds.
REEV: 0–100 km/h in 8.5 seconds.
Suspension: Tuned specifically for "First-Class" serenity. It’s softer than many European SUVs, making it excellent for soaking up city bumps, though it has a bit more body roll in sharp turns.
Real-World Range & Charging
BEV Range: Equipped with a 69.9 kWh battery, it offers a 424 km WLTP range (roughly 340–370 km in the UAE summer).
REEV Range: Total combined range is an impressive 1,190 km (CLTC), with a pure electric range of about 210 km.
Charging:
DC Fast Charging: Can go from 30% to 80% in 30 minutes.
One-Pedal Driving: Offers four levels of regenerative braking, including a true one-pedal mode that can bring the car to a full stop.
Cabin Comfort and "Baby-Friendly" Tech
Oeko-Tex® Interior: The seats are made of a "baby-friendly" silicone leather that is skin-friendly, odor-free, and incredibly easy to clean—a major plus for families with young children.
The "Floating" Display: A 14.6-inch 2.5K central screen handles almost everything. It’s powered by the Snapdragon 8155 chip, making it fast and responsive.
Storage & Versatility: The front seats can fold completely flat to align with the rear seats, creating a "sofa" or "bed" mode for resting during breaks.
Panoramic Roof: A massive 2.1-square-meter glass roof with an electric sunshade—a necessity for the UAE's heat that many competitors (like Tesla) lack.
Infotainment and Safety
LEAP Pilot: Comes with 17 advanced driver assistance functions (L2 ADAS). High-spec models even include LiDAR for more precise navigation assistance.
12-Speaker Surround Sound: An 840W Hi-Fi system that includes "rhythmic" ambient lighting that pulses with your music.
App Control: One of the best apps in the segment, allowing you to cool the cabin, vent the seats, and even defrost the mirrors remotely before you step outside.
Pet/Guard Mode: Keeps the AC running for passengers or pets while you run a quick errand.
Dealer and Pricing in the UAE
Price: The C10 is a value leader. In the UAE, prices typically start around AED 87,000 and go up to AED 115,000 for the top-spec LiDAR versions.
Warranty: Typically covered by a 5-year/150,000 km vehicle warranty and an 8-year battery warranty.
Availability: Available through major EV distributors in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, often including a home charger with purchase.
Best Suited For
- Families who want a safe, quiet, and high-tech SUV without the "luxury brand" markup.
- Parents of young children who will benefit from the easy-to-clean, non-toxic interior materials.
- Drivers who want a Tesla-like minimalist interior but prefer having an electric sunshade and physical stalks.
Not Suited For
- Driving enthusiasts looking for a firm, sporty "driver's car."
- Those who need a third row (you'd want the C16 for that).
