What we know about Leapmotor coming to Kitchener
Rollout plan: Leapmotor's Canadian entry is expected to begin in late 2026 to early 2027, prioritising high-EV-adoption metros first. Kitchener sits within a first-wave province and should see availability shortly after the launch metros. Ontario is part of the first-wave launch region, which shapes when the C10 is likely to be orderable locally.
Certification & import status: Before any sale, the Leapmotor C10 must meet Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS). New Chinese-made EVs have also faced a 100% import surtax, which directly affects launch timing and pricing. For the current state of play, read our 2026 Chinese EV tariff guide.
Expected Kitchener pricing: Estimated at $33,000 CAD with no provincial rebate currently available in Ontario. See the full Leapmotor C10 price breakdown for Kitchener.
While you wait: compare the C10 against rivals, check the 420 km range against Kitchener winter conditions, and review full specs on the Leapmotor C10 page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I buy the Leapmotor C10 in Kitchener right now?

Leapmotor sits within a first-wave province and should see availability shortly after the launch metros, with availability in Kitchener projected for late 2026 to early 2027. The best way to be first in line is to reserve your spot and get notified the moment Kitchener availability is confirmed.
When is the Leapmotor C10 release date in Kitchener?
Kitchener falls into the first wave (secondary) of the expected Canadian rollout, with a projected window of late 2026 to early 2027. Timing depends on dealer network buildout, vehicle certification with Transport Canada, and the evolving tariff situation on Chinese-made EVs. Dates are estimates and not yet officially confirmed by Leapmotor.
Can I import a Leapmotor C10 to Kitchener myself before launch?
Privately importing a new Leapmotor C10 into Canada is generally not practical today: the vehicle must meet Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS), and new Chinese-made EVs have faced a 100% import surtax. For almost all buyers, waiting for the official Leapmotor Canadian launch is the realistic path. Read our tariff explainer for the latest on the import situation.
