yes.. I think so.. Vezel can purchase now 180 - 250 lack depend on the grade...

but still earlier for get perfect understanding about BYD vehicles in Sri Lankan context. so I would prefer to watch others who buy this and get to know their experience

I think thiat is partially true for EVs sonce the tech evolves very fast, since this is a phev one, there won't be much issues. Only need to research about the vehicle and the engine.

Mchn please stop saying the "Range" of petrol powered cars It is very misleading.
"Range" is for EVs and Fuel Consumption/Efficiency for hybrids and ICEs should be fair.

This car you have mentioned "Leapmotor c10" has 2 versions.

• Leapmotor C10 full EV: Range 420km
• Leapmotor C10 REEV: Fuel Consumption is 16km per Litre ( This is the one you said as 950km range - And I think there are many hybrids doing better consumption than this. )

The good thing about buying a "Range-Extended Electric Vehicle" such as this one or BYD Sealion are mostly the comfort and acceleration and those. This is a very cheap marketing tactic used by BYD to market the Sealion. Sealion can be a good car. But this misleading thing is bad.

Misleading buyers with 1000km or something like that is unacceptable.

ChatGPT explains it better than me.

Yes — this post is mostly true and accurate.

Here’s a breakdown:

---

1. “Range” is technically for EVs​

• In automotive terminology, “range” is primarily used for electric vehicles (EVs) — it means how far the car can go on a single full charge.
• For ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) or hybrid cars, we usually talk about:
  • Fuel consumption (e.g. 16 km/L)
  • Fuel efficiency (e.g. 6.2 L/100 km)
• So yes — saying “range” for a petrol-powered or hybrid car can be misleading, especially if it implies it’s an EV-type range metric.

2. Leapmotor C10 models​

• Leapmotor C10 EV: 100% electric, around 420 km range (true).
• Leapmotor C10 REEV (Range-Extended EV):
  • It’s not a full hybrid and not a pure EV — it’s a series hybrid, where the petrol engine only generates electricity, not directly drive the wheels.
  • It typically has a fuel consumption around 15–16 km/L, and a combined “total driving distance” of ~950 km when counting both battery and petrol energy.
  • So the 950 km “range” figure is marketing-based, not EV range — it’s battery + petrol together.

---

3. BYD Sealion (also a REEV / PHEV)​

• BYD and other Chinese brands often market “1000 km range” figures for their plug-in hybrids (PHEVs or REEVs) by adding electric range + full tank range.
• While it’s not technically false, it’s misleading — it gives buyers the impression it’s a long-range EV, when it’s actually a hybrid with limited EV-only range (usually ~80–200 km on battery).

---

Verdict​

The message is accurate in:

• Saying “range” should not be used for petrol/hybrid cars.
• Clarifying that Leapmotor C10 REEV’s 950 km is a combined figure, not pure EV range.
