Leapmotor B10 review

It should be fairly easy to spec a B10 in the UK, because the only choice you’ll need to make is what colour you’d like it to be on the outside, and what shade of grey you’d like on the inside. Yep, that’s it.

Weirdly, Leapmotor’s latest exterior paint colour is called ‘Starry Night Blue’ and we’re told it was inspired by the Van Gogh painting, but surely it should be slightly darker? See it for yourself in the images above. Anyway, that’s the free paint colour in the UK, while the others (a purple, black, grey, silver and white) are £575 each.

There are no wheel choices, but 18in alloys are standard, as are the panoramic roof, LED lights, a powered tailgate and the fiddly flush door handles.

Inside the kit list includes heated and ventilated seats, a heated steering wheel, 360-degree parking camera, a 12-speaker sound system, 64 different colours of ambient lighting and wireless phone charging.

A heat pump is also standard fit which is good news for efficiency fans, and charging tops out at 168kW, so in theory a 30 to 80 per cent top up should take just 20 minutes.

The price is £29,995, which means it undercuts a base spec Vauxhall Mokka Electric by a couple of hundred pounds. Way more kit for the money, though. Interestingly, the larger C10 is only a few thousand more again at £32,750, so it’s not a giant leap to get into the bigger erm… Leapmotor.
