The Leapmotor C10 recently made its mark in Europe by earning a prestigious five-star rating in the Euro NCAP safety program. This milestone highlights the model’s exceptional engineering and safety standards while bolstering the joint venture’s mission to deliver affordable, high-tech vehicles globally, leveraging Stellantis’ international market presence.
The Euro NCAP assessment awarded the C10 impressive scores: 89% for adult occupant protection, 85% for child protection, 77% for vulnerable road users, and 76% for driving aids. These results underscore the meticulous design and thorough safety testing integrated into the vehicle’s development. The C10 combines cutting-edge safety features with a refined driving experience, establishing itself as a benchmark in its segment.
The C10’s high-strength structure is crafted to absorb and dissipate collision energy effectively, offering robust protection while maintaining performance and efficiency. Its comprehensive passive safety system includes front and side airbags, a safety curtain, and a center airbag between the front seats, ensuring maximum protection for all occupants.
At the heart of the C10’s technology is its advanced driver assistance system (ADAS), comprising 17 key functions such as automatic emergency braking, lane keeping assistance, blind-spot detection, and adaptive cruise control. These features are powered by Leapmotor’s proprietary “Four-Leaf Clover” architecture—a centralized supercomputing system integrating the cockpit, intelligent driving, power, and body domains. This architecture enhances communication speed and reduces latency, allowing seamless collaboration among active safety systems for improved response times and reliability.
The C10 ensures driver confidence in challenging conditions with its electronic stability program (ESP), which works alongside ABS and traction control. A tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) adds another layer of precaution by alerting drivers to abnormal tire pressure, helping prevent potential accidents.
For added convenience and safety, the C10 features high-brightness LED headlights for optimal visibility in various lighting conditions. Rear parking sensors and a 360-degree camera simplify low-speed maneuvers, reducing collision risks in confined spaces.
By achieving Euro NCAP’s coveted five-star rating, the Leapmotor C10 exemplifies the joint venture’s commitment to engineering excellence and customer safety. This accomplishment not only positions the C10 as a standout choice for European buyers but also sets the stage for the global expansion of Leapmotor’s innovative, high-value electric vehicles.
