Former England footballer Michael Owen has made history as the first UK customer to take delivery of the all-new electric Leapmotor C10. Officially launching in the UK on March 1st, the C10 is priced at an attractive £36,500 (RM204,107) and marks an exciting new entry into the UK’s electric vehicle market, offering cutting-edge technology, top-tier safety, and competitive pricing.
This family-friendly D-segment SUV stands out with its class-leading safety features, a driving range of up to 263 miles (WLTP), and a premium interior, making it an ideal choice for Owen and his family.
Expressing his excitement, the 45-year-old former Liverpool striker, now a racehorse owner and breeder, said: “I’m delighted to be the first Leapmotor customer in the UK. The C10 is a stunning car with incredible technology, plenty of space, and top-level safety—perfect for me and my family.”
Leapmotor UK Managing Director Damien Dally highlighted the significance of this milestone: “Michael Owen is one of England’s greatest footballers, so having him as our first customer is a fantastic way to introduce our brand to the UK. We believe the C10 and T03 bring something special to the market—offering high-tech features, premium quality, and peace of mind through our established retailer network and four-year warranty.”
The C10 and the more compact T03—priced under £16,000 (RM89,764) and designed to offer premium features in a smaller package—are the result of a pioneering collaboration between Chinese tech brand Leapmotor and Stellantis, the global automotive giant behind Vauxhall, Peugeot, Citroën, Jeep, Alfa Romeo, and Fiat. With Stellantis’ vast industry expertise spanning nearly 120 years and a presence in over 130 markets, Leapmotor customers can expect high standards of quality and reliability.
Priced from RM159,000, the C10 offers D-segment features at a C-segment price, backed by a comprehensive 6-year/150,000km warranty and an 8-year/160,000km battery warranty.
