LeapmotorB10

The Leapmotor B10 is a compact electric SUV that sits between the B05 hatchback and the larger C10 in Leapmotor's UK range. It is 4.51 m long and comes in one well-equipped Design specification, with a list price of about £31,500 before Leapmotor's £1,500 Leap-Grant. A range-extender hybrid version is also listed on the UK website.

## Battery, range and charging

The electric B10 uses a 67.1 kWh battery and is rated for up to 270 miles on the WLTP cycle, with official consumption of 17.3 kWh/100 km. DC charging peaks at 168 kW, so a 30–80% top-up takes about 19 minutes. The range-extender version pairs an 18.8 kWh battery (up to 53 electric miles) with a 1.5-litre petrol generator, for a combined WLTP range of up to 599 miles.

## Performance and driving

A 218 PS motor drives the rear wheels, giving 0–62 mph in 8 seconds and a top speed of 106 mph. Testers say it feels most at home around town, where its light controls and good visibility help. Efficiency drops off at sustained motorway speeds.

## Interior and space

The boot holds 430 litres, or 1,700 litres with the rear seats folded, and there is a front storage compartment under the bonnet. The front seats recline fully, and both are heated and ventilated. Other standard kit includes a panoramic sunroof with electric blind, an electric tailgate and 64-colour ambient lighting.

## Technology and safety

Inside there is a 14.6-inch 2.5K central touchscreen and an 8.8-inch driver display, plus Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a 12-speaker sound system and an NFC card key. There are 17 driver-assistance systems and a 360-degree camera, and the B10 has a five-star Euro NCAP rating.

## Who is it for?

Families who want a roomy, well-equipped electric SUV for hatchback money. Rivals include the Kia EV3, Skoda Elroq and BYD Atto 3.
