Leapmotor B10

¡¾Car Purchase Experience¡¿
I originally planned to buy a small electric car priced under 100,000 yuan for commuting. I previously wanted to get a UT, but my wife didn't like it, saying it looked like a bun. Okay, I put that idea aside. One day, while scrolling through videos, I saw news about the B10. I asked my wife if she wanted to go and have a look, and she said yes. There happened to be an experience store downstairs, so we went to try it out. I have to say, women just love purple. It was this color that caught her eye, so we decided on it and took a test drive. We put down a big deposit to buy it even before its official launch. By the way: I'm the one driving. Why does it have to be what my wife likes... Married men know what I mean.
¡¾Driving Experience¡¿
The driving experience meets the average level of cars in this price range and is more suitable for family use. There's also a Ford Escape SUV in our family. We traded in our Fit. Generally speaking, it can't compare to the Ford. The main issue is that there's still a big gap in the overall performance of the chassis and its responsiveness compared to the hardware and tuning of American/European chassis like the Escape. The Ford performs smoothly and neatly, has strong stability when changing lanes, and its steering wheel movements are quick and agile.
¡¾Endurance¡¿
The dynamic range of the new car is 368 kilometers after a full charge. Based on my experience of driving 1,000 kilometers after picking up the car, the power consumption is about 20 kWh per 100 kilometers at a speed of 120 kilometers per hour, about 15 kWh at a speed of 90 - 100 kilometers per hour, over 13 kWh at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour, and 10 - 11.5 kWh in the city. The actual range varies from person to person.
¡¾Riding Experience¡¿
I'm 1.73 meters tall, and the driver's seat and both the front and rear rows are very spacious. It's no problem for a family of five to ride in it. There are two aspects that can be improved in terms of riding comfort. Firstly, the lumbar support of the front seats can be optimized. I don't feel obvious lumbar support. Secondly, the rear seats can be tilted back a little more. The current design is a bit too upright.
¡¾Highlighted Features¡¿
Features worthy of praise: The low - beam headlights are very bright, the panoramic sunroof comes with a sunshade, and it has high - end features at a low price. Features that can be further optimized: The comfort of the front and rear seats; the front engine compartment can be redesigned to have a frunk. This way, when opened, it won't look bare, and the appearance will be better.

Appearance: As soon as I entered the store, I saw a purple display car. It's neither too big nor too small, just right. There's a C10 beside it. Although its interior is better, the car body seems a bit large. I work outside alone, so there's no need for a too big car.
Space: The rear row is very spacious. It's comfortable to sit in, and the air - conditioning is super powerful. However, the energy consumption is relatively high.
Configuration: I was very hesitant at first. I originally booked the 600 Enjoyment version, but after thinking about it for two days, to avoid any regrets, I directly switched to the top - of - the - line version, which has a CATL battery and a lidar. The intelligent driving is just so - so, but it's still better than me at parking. I'm really bad at it, haha.
Endurance: It can run over 400 kilometers with a 600 - kilometer rated range. A 70% utilization rate is enough.
Assisted driving:
I haven't driven on the highway yet, so I won't give an evaluation for now.

Charging time:
It takes 18 - 25 minutes to charge from 20% to 80%, which is an average level. For slow charging, it takes over an hour to charge from 90% to 100%. The salesperson said to fully charge and discharge the battery once every three months to calibrate it.

Most satisfied:
The vehicle has a lifetime warranty, so there's no need to worry.

Space performance:
The space is okay. Many people feedback that the rear seats are too upright and uncomfortable to sit in for a long time. But I basically drive alone, so I didn't feel it.

Endurance and energy consumption:
The dynamic endurance of the 600 - kilometer version after a full charge is 420 - 450 kilometers. The drawback is that the air - conditioning is really powerful, but the noise and energy consumption are also relatively high. You get what you pay for. Electric cars are really easy to drive, with a strong sense of push - back. The only thing I think it lacks is the seat memory function. I have to readjust the seat every time after reclining it for a rest. Other mainstream configurations are basically available. Generally speaking, it's quite competitive in this price range. If you mainly drive in the city, I recommend the 510 Enjoyment version. It offers the best cost - performance ratio.

The car drives quite well. The steering wheel is very light, which is quite suitable for girls!
[Range and Energy Consumption]
On the day I picked up the car, I drove from Nanning back to Liuzhou. I set off with a full charge, and there was still 11% of the battery left when I got home. The car was fully loaded with 5 people, and the trunk was also stuffed! The air - conditioner was set at 25 degrees with the fan on the third level! The range is quite reliable! It's quite good!
[Assisted Driving]
Currently, the intelligent driving function can only be used on highways. It's okay. When the car tries to center itself, it grabs the steering wheel a bit! It may also be that we just picked up the car and set off without fully understanding the functions! The function of the dash - cam is a bit poor. The Enjoyment Edition has four - way recording, while the Lidar package only has forward recording. I hope it can be improved through OTA in the future!
[Spatial Performance]
The trunk can hold a huge amount of stuff. We went to Sam's Club to buy a lot of household groceries, and we could take them all home in one car! We also added a frunk! The frunk has a large capacity too! It can hold 3 schoolbags, a car charger, and a power - discharging gun. It's great!
[Charging Time]
This car supports a 400V fast - charging platform. A 600 - kilometer - range battery can be fully charged in less than an hour with fast charging outside, which saves a lot of time. You don't have to worry about running out of power on the highway anymore!
[Service Experience]
I strongly recommend the store on Pingle Avenue in Nanning. The salesmen are very attentive in both pre - sales and after - sales services. They are patient and meticulous, and the service is very satisfactory!
