Appearance: It's a matter of personal taste. To be honest, the appearance of the T03 is neither round nor square. The first impression is like a little turtle chariot from a cartoon. Hahaha! However, it grows on you. It probably becomes more and more pleasing to the eye the more you look at it.
Endurance: I picked up the car in a different city and drove on the highway right away. The top speed is 110 km/h. I set the cruise control at 98 km/h. With the air - conditioning on, a full car, and music playing, the endurance is about 77% of the stated range. On the county and provincial roads from the urban area to the countryside in daily use, the dashboard shows a deduction of 60 km in range, but the actual mileage is 66 km. I had the air - conditioning on half the time and the windows open half the time, driving alone with an empty car.
Driving experience: The chassis is solid. It's very stable on the highway with little vibration. The steering is flexible, and there's a slight sense of push - back when accelerating in daily driving. Parking is a highlight. It can maneuver easily.
[Car - buying experience]
Actually, I didn't know about Leapmotor before buying a car, and I had no idea about the T03 either. My first choices were the Wuling Hongguang Mini EV (four - door version) and the Changan Lumin. The Changan Lumin uses a direct - sales model, and the local dealers only deliver cars according to orders and have no in - stock vehicles. As for Wuling, they did have in - stock cars and the dealership was local, but their attitude... Well, let's just say it was not great! Doubao told me about Leapmotor and introduced me to the T03. There's a 4S store in the city with in - stock cars. We negotiated everything, but in the end, I gave up because they wanted to install a GPS for the mortgage (the manufacturer offers interest subsidies, only a fool wouldn't use it) and charged 500 yuan! I contacted a 4S store in Jimei, Xiamen on Dongchedi (my child studies there, so I could pick up the car on the way home during the holidays). The communication was very pleasant. I placed an order on the app, paid by scanning the QR code sent on WeChat, signed the documents via a bank video call, and had my ID card mailed for license plate registration. Everything went smoothly. When my child left school, we just loaded all the luggage into the car and drove home. Don't be afraid of being scammed when buying a car in a different place. Let me share a little tip: After contacting the salesperson, ask them to call you back on a landline. Get their name and employee number, and then confirm with the manufacturer's customer service. Once it's confirmed, everything will go smoothly!
[Most satisfied]
The cruise control is very useful. It can be used on rural, county, and provincial roads. You can set it whenever you want.
It's small but not cramped. There are no very tall people in my family, and the interior space is enough for my family of four. There's still a little space in the trunk, and it can easily hold one or two suitcases for short trips.
The seamless connection of the air - conditioning is so cool. It's a blessing for car owners without indoor parking spaces.
[Interior]
The connected seats look good, but they feel too hard. I have to add a latex cushion myself. The color scheme is a bit eye - catching, and my daughter loves it very much.
