I actually like this clean and simple styling, in and out. The build quality is unbelievable despite less known brand and price. even BYD does not have this quality in 2020 or 21.
It will be good to see Leap getting over to the UK and Europe especially if they can produce a real 300+ range for under £30k although it looks like Neo and Zeekr are heading for a 500+ mile range so Leap need to be aware of their overseas competitors albeit manufactured in China !. We live in exciting times
People in the UK need to chill out about range anxiety lol. I was joking recently with the NIO staff at the recent ONVO Launch event. With a single swap station you could drive a 100kWh NIO ET5 or ET7 from London to Edinburgh. 300 miles of range is plenty for most people. If you are doing hundreds of miles or more a week then an thats a different matter, but most aren't. The biggest problem I saw last time i was back was the poor information about charge stations. I was driving a BYD Seal and it directed me to a fast charger that was rammed with people. After downloading a couple of apps I found a 14 stall 350kW fast charger about a mile down the road and no one was there!
@ChinaDriven I think people here are used to 500 plus range ice cars or like the idea of fuelling at home only so avoiding the massively inflated on-route so called super chargers. Cheap home overnight charging for the win!
Well Diesel for passenger vehicles hasn't really been allowed in China for years, so they never got caught up in that. But still...how many people do you know who are driving 250+ miles each way to work each day. OR how many are going on a 500mile schelp every weekend! hahaha. I understand range anxiety, but i think its more the fear of not knowing what to do if you run out of electricity. we've all run out of petrol in our cars when we were younger. It's a long walk to the local petrol station. EVs are a bit harder, you'd have to call recovery. Although i've seen "EV jerry cans" small batteries you can take with you that give you a little juice to get you to a plug. If you have home charging I think 250-300 real world miles is more than enough for the average person. It's probably not gunna cover it if you are a salesman banging up and down the M1, hoping to rely solely on home charging!
@@ChinaDriven We rely solely on home charging via Octopus overnight and our own solar / battery storage, its been quite successful for the past couple of years running a Tesla model YLR, our largest weekly trip being about 260 miles so topping up to 300 gives us the range knowing we don't have to shell out for eye-wateringly high charging from the likes of Gridserve, Ionity or Instavolt etc. We do use the Tesla chargers now and again but they are relatively inexpensive for the few times we feel the need to top up. A 800k or 500 mile range would allow us to trip off to see family in the south without needing to charge. After 10 years driving EV's we have a good understanding of what's going to tip the average driver over to electric, those who can charge at home or work to 500 miles as and when required will finally move over. On a personal note when I was in business if I had a rep doing 500 miles in a day they would be sacked, I wanted them in front of customers not sat in cars at my expense!.
HAHAHA, good point about sitting in the car! I understand, the charging situation in the UK is a big jumbled mess. I drove a BYD Seal last time i was back in the UK and it wasn't a pleasant experience compared to living with an EV in China.
I know Leap C11 and C01 (older models) had a sentry mode pushed via OTA. I cant remember about the C10, but I;'d say it's a good chance it has now or will do via OTA
The C10 will make it to other markets such as India as well. What do you reckon made Stellantis invest in Leapmotor? Is it the fact that Leapmotor is able to build affordable electric SUVs at a stellar price? Or the fact that their[Leapmotor] core technologies consist of both BEVs and EREVs?
No AWD again? Just bring the american Stellantis cars in EU and people will start buy them. European people want american style cars…..Tesla it is a good example, leading the sales
It's probably so they can hit a certain price point. Adding an extra motor costs more, but they'd also need a larger or more energy dense battery to keep decent ranges, and that would cost more as well.
Good for stelantis but the tile is missleading. 30 min for 10-80% is not a good value 410 km cltc means sonrthing around 350km wltp? How this can be not beatble? Look i watched so many chinese videos the last days. Everyone is speaking about chinese ev cars are better the germans are lost. I dont think so and cant see it either. A audi had The charging and range performance of this brand new car several years ago. The eqs has easy over 600km wltp and was engineered some years ago. Where is the leading technology in chinese evs?
The price. You have to factor in the price. These charge times and ranges are in-line with what was leading a generation a go, and the price for this level of tech has already come crashing down. This is a budget end EV, with charging and range similar to much more expensive EVs from just a couple of years ago. Fast forwards this a little more and unless the "germans" or whoever leap frog they will be left behind. So Stellantis has seen that the Chinese are further ahead, their top-end EVs having 5C+ charging so 10-80% in 10-12mins. So you can get this level of charging and range for a much lower price point then what they can produce in Europe right now.
@@ChinaDriven yeah for sure. But other had this technology before and now they aiming more than 800km with their new plattforms (neue klasse bmw and mma mercedes). It was always like this. Sklass was the first car wirh abs other followed. Now you have abs in dacias also does this mean that these dacias are now better than s klasses? It will stay like this. Someone will invent others will follow. This doesent make them to technological better cars or better ev manufacturers
Don't think I said Leapmotor were technologically more advance. I said that they are better value, adding tech at a price point others cannot keep up with.
Great review mate, this is the only ev except tesla and kia that made me think about it
It's nice. Clean design inside and out. I agree that it looks nicer than the C16. I hope they sell a bucket load of them.
oh they are, at a rapid rate also
Seems classic already!
Thanks a ton for the presentation...

Does it have sentry camera?

@@jashshukla701 i assume they are the largest “new” company that isn’t tied up with a partner at a certain price point.
looking forward to the suspensiion tuned by maserati
Yes! Unfortunately the Chinese market version is not.
if I’m in china rn, I would still get a BYD or NIO they are more mature
That's like saying
VW or BMW
But anyways
No AWD again? Just bring the american Stellantis cars in EU and people will start buy them. European people want american style cars…..Tesla it is a good example, leading the sales

PLUS. Stellantis is basically pulling out of the Chinese market. Only Alfa, Citreon and Maserati left...and none of them are selling huge numbers
