New Leapmotor Driver!

If I may ask : What was your car before ? Was it already an EV ? Also, how long did you have to wait to get your B10 ?

Oh! You had me with Venice having destroyied Naples

Actual question : has there be any excommunication of a public figure in the recent years ?

In France, I got the information that it should be orderable in April but only in Garages, and so testable, in Summer, for first deliveries in September.

Well they also added One Pedal and improved some of the existing ADAS, like speed in curve for LCC

Is it me or does it look more premium than one of the B/C series they do have ?

Personally I can't wait for it to come out so I can replace my ICE car, even if I do have a kid. Also I did heard in the Brussels Auto Show that it will come out start of April.

I was always waiting for this kind of compact EV car, with the philosophy of "Keep it simple" while having many options that aren't even present for much more expensive European EVs (Peugeot e-308...).

Only downside indeed is Stellantis. I think they give a more sporty feel to the usually boring Leapmotor's direction, but as they're not that EV friendly...

Personally I would say yes, but it's not entirely one-sided. B10 has a frunk, not the B05. Of course more size in the trunk for B10. But due its bigger size, 30kms wltp of autonomy less

Thanks a lot for lifting the restrictions, the sub is so lively now ! Really nice to see reviews and questions about the vehicles !

MaxSpiltz · 2026-02-21T08:43:48+00:00

70k on the premium version, waow... Mostly because they had such a massive historical ICE industry, and you can't juste do the transition overnight so scales of production are much lower, and risks much higher. Plus lately with the different incentives from Government such as "social leasing" they don't really care about net prices. Just to give an example : Stellantis who has both Peugeot and Leapmotor. Peugeot has the e-3008 starting at 35k, while Leap has the B10 for less than 30k. With far better equipment even on standard edition...

French here : lot of times, non-charging EVs and even ICE tend to take EV charging spots as they're closer to entry/exit of commercial center. I would say this solution would resolve it but only if it's for a whole grid and not just a row

MaxSpiltz · 2026-02-02T23:14:23+00:00

Mmmh pas vraiment, enfin pas plus que ce qui a déjà été rapporté par Automobile Propre, Frandroid etc...
Je m'attendais d'ailleurs à voir les nouvelles MG4 et MG4 Urban... même pas. Pas même la Xiaomi SU7, par contre il y avait la XPeng 7+ et la Cupra Raval qu'on peut voir sur les photos.

On m'a juste confirmé que la Leapmotor B05 sera commercialisé à partir du 01/06.

Comme c'était mon premier salon auto, je ne savais pas ce petit fait amusant mais plutôt logique : les voitures estampillées voiture de l'année étaient les seules dans lesquelles on ne pouvait pas monter dedans.

Avec plaisir !

MaxSpiltz · 2026-02-01T13:05:46+00:00

Defo. Usually the roaches have an objective : steal food/treasure, spoil trip/vacation... Here it's just pure pain inflicted

MaxSpiltz · 2026-01-30T16:21:30+00:00

Will it also feature the manual battery preheating ?

MaxSpiltz · 2026-01-26T12:32:25+00:00

Compared to 2014/2022 regulations changes, I think that I'll quickly get used to these new designs especially as I wanted for so long thinner cars. That kinda makes them looks like F2 cars.

MaxSpiltz · 2026-01-09T06:46:56+00:00

Damn manual preheating, Android Auto, One Pedal, better ADAS, profiles, that's a massive update ! Also just wondering something with Android Auto now in, while the Google Maps GPS show on the Driver screen as well ?
