LEAPMOTOR C10 named Best Hybrid and EV of 2025 by AA Driven.

We are pleased to share that the LEAPMOTOR C10 has been recognised by AA Driven Carguide in the 2025 Car of the Year awards, taking out the Best Hybrid and EV of 2025 category. At Armstrong’s we are proud to represent Leapmotor in New Zealand and we believe this recognition is well deserved for a vehicle that has quickly earned a strong following. The C10 has proven to be a popular choice since its arrival, so it comes as no surprise to see it acknowledged with such an accolade.

This award reflects the C10’s strong value, combining competitive pricing, Stellantis backed engineering and advanced electric and hybrid technology in one of the most crowded SUV segments. With both a battery electric (BEV) and range extended EV (REEV) option, the C10 gives customers a genuine choice between pure electric driving and hybrid style flexibility.
