Chinese EV newcomer Leapmotor is ramping up its push into the Australian market with major discounts on its C10 electric SUV. Buyers can now save up to $7,000 if they purchase before 30 September 2025, making the family-sized SUV one of the most affordable in its class.
The factory bonus applies to both 2024 and 2025 model year vehicles, with MY24 versions receiving the full $7,000 discount and MY25 models offered with $4,000 off.
For example, the MY24 C10 BEV Design, normally priced at $51,500 drive-away, is now available for $44,500 after the bonus, a sharp deal considering its high-end features.

Leapmotor’s Expansion
Leapmotor has been expanding globally through its joint venture with Stellantis, with Australia among its early overseas markets. Reports suggest the smaller and more affordable Leapmotor B10 is also being prepared for an Australian release.
