Overall I was impressed by the C10. Having driven some truly woeful Chinese EVs lately, it was refreshing to jump into one that felt properly put together. So here’s the big question – is it enough to unseat some of its European rivals? If you’re on a budget and looking for great value, the C10 shouldn’t be overlooked. That said, by opting for even a base-spec Scenic or Skoda Enyaq, you’re still picking the better car, but I think this brand means business. Keep an eye out for more Leapmotors in the future.

What we like

Loads of space inside and the equipment list is second to none for a car at this price point. While not the most potent of electric motors, it offers a useable amount of power and can get going in decent time with a enough low-down torque.

What we don’t like

The whole thing is just a bit bland. It’s not a car we can get too excited over, and it doesn’t handle particularly well. More refined alternatives are also on the market.
