The vehicle was first shown to the public at the 2023 Munich Motor Show.[3] It was launched in China in March 2024.[3] In September 2024, sales in nine European markets started.[4][5] Unlike the lower-positioned Leapmotor T03, this model is imported to Europe instead of being produced locally, thereby incurring a 21% import tax.[6]

The C10 is available in either a 1.5-liter engine and 28 kWh battery plug-in electric version with 155 km of electric range, or as a full electric model with either a 52.9 kWh or 69.9 kWh battery pack; offering 310 and 420 km of range respectively. In some markets, it is only available with the largest battery pack.[7]
