Leapmotor is offering up to $7,000 Factory Bonus for C10 BEV inventory until 30 September.

Offer available across the C10 EV range. Up to $7,000 off on MY24 models, and up to $4,000 off on MY25 models.

Quite a lot of car for the money although it's been a slow seller and Apple CarPlay / Android Auto are missing.

PS should stack with $2,500 bonus offer for Costco Members

Mod note: Do not subtract $7,000 factory bonuses from MY24 C10 BEV Design $51,500 driveaway price and pretend you only need to pay $44,500 and drive away. The $7,000 bonus is NOT REDEEMABLE FOR CASH.

Title price revised.

Factory Bonus offer available on new and demonstrator Leapmotor C10 BEV and C10 REEV purchased and delivered between 1 August 2025 and 30 September 2025 or while stock lasts. Factory Bonus amount varies depending on model and model year. Offer not redeemable for cash. Leapmotor Australia reserves the right to change, withdraw or extend this offer.

    Feels like a risk buying one of these, doesn't seem like Leapmotor will be around long unlike BYD, Geely, GWM, Chery

      Done my research on this and can confirm. Stellantis is a problem. They are selling very poorly compared to these other brands.

        Stellantis only owns 20% of Leapmotor (ie, not a controlling stake). It absolutely isn’t the problem.

        • Jaspa7 on 11/08/2025 - 09:41

          pretty common - just needs to be at the right price
          if it were below 40k, might be worth considering

          are now delivering MY26 models

          In August 2025 ???

          Sounds very fishy.

          Why not MY28 then …

          • loksmack on 12/08/2025 - 10:02

            @LFO: The model year (sometimes abbreviated as MY) is a method of describing the version of a product which has been produced over multiple years. The model year may or may not be the same as the calendar year in which the product was manufactured.

            The new model year typically begins in August to September of the preceding calendar year.

            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_year

            • LFO on 12/08/2025 - 18:43

              @loksmack: So MYxx is virtually useless to assess how old/new a vehicle is.

              Funny thing the dealership (another brand of course) told me otherwise. Even referring to MYxx.z for midyear updates.

              Also interesting when in January/February some dealerships offer discount in MYprevious_year models.

              Something doesn't stack up well here …

              • loksmack on 13/08/2025 - 09:00

                @LFO: Totally agree. I hate it too. It’s even less useful for manufacturers like Tesla who make updates randomly throughout the year.

                In my experience, it’s often used on the used car market to make a car seem a year newer than it is. Eg a car purchased in 2016 will be advertised as a 2017 model. Just confusing.

              My argument is that Android Auto is not a selling point. It's a crap solution that's built towards a UI that old people can use.

              It's laggy, and offers nothing to people except Waze and Spotify basically

          Personally if Tesla enabled android auto I'd start using it immediately and never look back. Tesla OS is horrid, the UX is rubbish, it's like they let a coder pick fonts at times.

          • madbison on 11/08/2025 - 21:02

    • cuethebush on 11/08/2025 - 07:47

      Maybe, but there is a risk with most of these Chinese brands. I don't think it's isolated to Leapmotor. There are too many brands in Aus to be viable long term.

      My folks bought a BEV C10 on the Gold Coast while we were up there visiting family and holidaying so I drove it back to Melbourne with dad instead of flying. The GC dealer had a bunch of demo Design trim (top trim) that we got for $39.5k before on roads, came to $42k after paying stamp duty and rego in VIC and the unreg permit from QLD. It's our family's first EV and a big reason they bought it is because of the back seat room and extra big boot compared to a Geely EX5 or MG S5. They need the space to take my grandmother and a wheelchair plus walker to appointments. BTW, the MG felt tinny and built to a price compared to the C10 that feels extremely solid and well built.

      It isn't a very dynamic drive and the bings and bongs are annoying. You can turn the worst ones off reasonably easily but the lane keeping and warning is badly tuned and hidden away in a few sub menus. The worst part is the ACC which phantom brakes when overtaking trucks both rigid and combination so hard that anyone behind could rear end us if not taking manual control of the throttle pedal. I don't think it has a typical radar system for the ACC and relies on the cameras instead. There is no "normal" cruise control. All this and other smaller bug bears could be fixed in OTA updates if they pursue it. They have released a new update in some European countries to address many issues on top of the last update in July. I believe this new update also brings ACP and AA. I bought a $70 dongle off of Amazon so we already have it and it works well both wired and wireless.

      While I am not keen on being a guinea pig for manufacturers, the price and size/features cannot be argued with, especially for the price we paid.

      And a warning: don't go to the Brisbane dealer unless you want to be harassed for weeks after you leave. They have a high pressure sales team who will pursue you relentlessly!

        If they can't go to the effort of selling you the car properly… How are they supposed to keep it working in 5-10 years? I wouldn't trust any Chinese manufacturer other than maybe BYD because of this. It's the same reason I don't trust crappy European manufacturers either.

        • cloudy on 10/08/2025 - 14:06
          +15

          You do realise the people selling the car are completely unrelated to the people who design the car and also unrelated to those who manufacture the car.

          For example, Tesla has over 100,000 employees, and a great many thousand sales. If you hit a bad salesman, it doesn’t change the car, nor does meeting an awesome Tesla salesman change the car. Hence why, I said, the salesmen knowledge is low on my car buying criteria.

      I would've given this car a serious look, but the lack of Android Auto / Carplay was just a non-starter for me. I don't trust these guys enough to support the platform into the future. Even on a Tesla i would've been bummed, and almost let it go, but then I saw the Zeerk 7x and opted for that instead. Android Auto / Apple among a few other features.

    owner of the REEV model of this vehicle, from what I read on forums the phone mirroring should come via an OTA update this month. People from other RHD countries have slowly been getting them, not yet for Australia but I'm anticipating anyday this month. The update should also help with less bings and bongs that this car is renowned for. There is also an aftermarket USB dongle that one could get on Amazon to remedy that lack of AA/AC issue.

    • axlfan on 11/08/2025 - 12:52

                It seems others are arguing key parameters of ‘reliability’ rather than a holistic approach. There isn’t ’plenty of data’ (yet) and that’s my argument… yet people are quick to disagree (and downvote) because they’re focusing on certain aspects/parameters (e.g. performance/longevity) and that’s how they define ‘reliability’; which is a flawed stance.

                EV technology (battery) is still in its infant stage (holistically speaking) yet the Aus market is being flooded with many EV brands.

        Huh? Are you doing some weird calc where you claim federal battery rebate on the car? Or are you genuinely saying a 50kw battery system is available somewhere for $6k?

          look up the neovolt deal. 50kwh for 6.3k

            @V2L: The last deal from them on OzB was 30kwh for about $6k…
