Leapmotor has announced that it will launch updated versions of its popular C10, C11, and C16 SUVs on June 16, 2026. These three models play a very important role in the company’s sales and together accounted for 43% of its total deliveries in the first four months of 2026.
The updates focus on design changes, improved power, and better features to keep the models competitive in China’s fast-moving electric vehicle market.
Key Updates in the New C-Series SUVs
Leapmotor has made several changes across the C10, C11, and C16 models. Here’s a summary of the main updates:
| Model | Main Updates | Power & Range Improvements |
|---|---|---|
| C10 | New split headlight design, body length increased by 10 mm | EREV: 200 kW motor, 190 km battery range |
| C11 | New headlights, frameless doors, double-layer glass, green brake calipers | Improved power and features |
| C16 | Updated exterior design, body length increased by 10 mm, 5 or 6 seat options | EREV: 200 kW motor, 185 km battery range |
Both EREV and BEV versions now come with more powerful motors. The BEV variants get up to 230 kW of power for better acceleration.
New Design Language and Features
All three models now follow Leapmotor’s new design language. The C10 gets a split headlight design, while the C11 features frameless doors and double-layer laminated glass for better cabin quietness. The C16 also receives matching exterior updates along with flexible seating options.
In addition, Leapmotor has introduced new color combinations, including a gold exterior with a brown interior, to attract more customers.
Why These Updates Matter
The C10, C11, and C16 are Leapmotor’s core models. In the first four months of 2026 alone, these three SUVs contributed 78,297 units, which made up 43% of the company’s total deliveries.
Leapmotor is updating these models to stay competitive as the Chinese EV market becomes more crowded. The company delivered a record 81,569 vehicles in May 2026 and is targeting 1 million deliveries for the full year.
Final Thoughts
Leapmotor’s decision to refresh its best-selling C-series SUVs shows the company’s focus on maintaining strong sales growth. The updated models bring better design, more power, and new features while keeping the same practical nature that made them popular.
These updates are expected to help Leapmotor stay competitive against other Chinese EV brands in 2026.
