The facelifted C10 continues to be offered in extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) and battery electric vehicle (BEV) variants, just like its predecessor.
The 2026 C10 EREV is offered in two variants with pre-sales starting prices of RMB 129,800 ($17,860) and RMB 139,800 respectively.
The 2026 C10 BEV is also available in two variants with pre-sales starting prices of RMB 139,800 and RMB 149,800 respectively.
