New Zero Runner C10 Model to Hit Chinese Markets on May 15th
The waiting is almost over for car enthusiasts in China, as the new 2026 Zero Runner C10 model is expected to be unveiled on May 15th. The vehicle's preorder price has already been announced, ranging from 12.98 to 14.98 thousand yuan, with customers getting up to CNY 19,680 worth of benefits for early reservations.
Compared to its predecessor, the 2026 Zero Runner C10 boasts significant improvements in powertrains, handling, intelligence, and design. The vehicle's design takes cue from the outgoing model but introduces a new, more modern look with exclusive "曦露紫" (Sea Breeze Pink) color option, upgraded electric door handles, revised phone charging port, and sleeker dashboard elements.
In terms of smart features, the 2026 Zero Runner C10 comes equipped with an upgraded processor (Qualcomm Snapdragon 8650), offering real-time sensing capabilities for its 3D desk surface and a dual-screen SR environment simulation system. When it comes to assisted driving, enhancements include support for high-resolution displays and end-to-end ADAS.
In terms of performance, the new Zero Runner C10 pure electric model gets a significant power boost. With an upgraded 74.9 kWh battery pack, the vehicle's WLTC range has been enhanced, making it capable of going up to 605 kilometers on a single charge. The estimated charging time for standard and long-range modes (with and without regenerative braking) are as follows:
- Standard mode:
- From SOC 30% to full (80%), now takes 16 minutes. Regenerative braking decreases the total charging time.
- Long-range mode:
- From SOC 30% to full (80%), also reduced down to a mere 18 minutes, thanks again for regenerative braking.
Additionally, with its electric motor producing more power, the vehicle is now capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in just 5.9 seconds, significantly faster than before.
Other features of this new model include:
- Front dual airbags
- Rearview camera
- LED and projector headlights
