Leapmotor might still be a relatively new name on UK roads, but its C10 electric SUV has just picked up two awards based entirely on feedback from people actually living with one.
The Leapmotor C10 has been named the overall winner for both Value for Money and Space & Practicality in the inaugural Electric Road UK EV Owners Poll Awards Summer 2026. Owners highlighted the C10’s affordability, technology, spacious cabin and everyday usability as some of its biggest strengths.
That certainly makes me interested in spending some time with one.
I recently drove the smaller Leapmotor B10 and came away genuinely impressed by what Leapmotor is offering for the money. It wasn’t simply a case of piling in equipment to create an attractive specification sheet either. The B10 felt like a properly convincing electric SUV, and it left me wanting to see how that formula translates to the larger C10.
The C10 is positioned as Leapmotor’s larger, family-focused D-segment SUV. It currently costs £36,500, or £32,750 with Leapmotor’s current LEAP-GRANT, and offers up to 263 miles of WLTP range. Standard equipment includes heated and ventilated front seats, a panoramic roof, 360-degree camera, heated steering wheel, 20-inch alloys and a 14.6-inch central touchscreen.
Owner-voted awards are particularly interesting because they tell us something beyond the usual first-drive impressions. If people who actually live with the C10 are praising its value and practicality, I’d certainly be keen to get behind the wheel myself and see whether it leaves as strong an impression as the B10 did.
