Toyota RAV4 beater? Leapmotor C10 2025 preview: Cut-price electric SUV to shake up family-car fight!

The 2025 Leapmotor C10 is looking to flip Australia's highly competitive mid-size SUV segment on its proverbial head. Yes, it's another Chinese fully electric vehicle, but this one is looking to genuinely take the fight to the best-selling Toyota RAV4 Hybrid with razor-sharp pricing that will be hard to say no to.

That's right; with an estimated starting price of about $45,000 plus on-road costs, the C10 is looking to reset the value benchmark for zero-emissions, high-riding family cars. But what is a Leapmotor, anyway? Well, it's the product of a Chinese automotive joint-venture with Stellantis, the parent company of Jeep and Peugeot, among other American and European brands.

In this news video, CarsGuide Contributing Journalist Byron Mathioudakis presents a detailed walk-around preview of the C10 ahead of its local release in November 2024. So, will it be worth waiting for? Watch on to find out.
