The design is sleek—sharp lines, a sculpted front end, and that unmistakable ‘I’m here to make a statement’ vibe.

The C10’s 5-door layout offers a spacious cabin, though calling it ‘luxury’ might be a stretch unless you consider a large touchscreen and a minimalist dashboard to be the height of opulence.

On the road, the Leapmotor C10 impresses with a smooth, almost serene drive. The acceleration is surprisingly peppy for a vehicle of its size—around 0 to 100 km/h in about 8 seconds.

But don’t start thinking you’re in a sports car; this is an SUV, not a rocket. The range is decent, too, with up to 400 kilometres on a full charge, which should get you through most city commutes and a weekend getaway without needing to panic about your next charging stop.

Inside, it’s roomy enough, with decent legroom and a well-organized layout. There’s a large infotainment screen, but—just a heads-up—those touch controls aren’t always the most intuitive.

Still, it does the job, and you get the feeling the car’s trying its hardest to impress you, even if it’s not quite the luxury experience it might hope to be.

Overall, the Leapmotor C10 is a solid, practical option for anyone looking to make the jump into electric without saying goodbye to comfort. Just don’t expect it to turn your daily drive into a thrill ride. But hey, as long as it gets you from point A to point B without any drama… who’s complaining?”

There is no mistaking the EV9. It’s a stunning design and people everywhere I took it stopped to look and chat.

The EV9 GT-Line comes with a 99.8 kilowatt hour battery that is good for about 500km. It comes with drive to all four wheels and a one speed reduction gear transmission.

For such a big car, and it is big, its surprisingly nimble and responsive. Its over 5 metres in length and over 2600kg in weight. But it doesn’t feel that big when driving. It certainly feels connected to the road. Its also whisper quiet to drive.

That size makes for a spacious interior. The front seats are especially comfortable with heating and cooling and electronic adjustments.  The dash and central screen is huge and dominates the interior.

I love the interior ambience. It has a premium feel that would be at home on any of the top European brands. I also like the Kia process of using as much sustainable materials as possible in the manufacturing process.

Overall, the EV9 is simply stunning in every aspect.

The likes of Mercedes Benz, BMW , Volvo, and Audi should be looking closely at this EV.

And at a price of only $121,000 plus the usual costs its actually great value compared to what you can get in premium brands.

Solterra is a stylish SUV that comes well equipped with a 12.3-inch central touch screen, wireless smart phone connectivity, The touring model also comes with wireless charger.

Both models come with a  high voltage 71.4kW lithium-ion battery. This provides some 160kW of power and 337Nm of torque. While the NEDC range is measured at 485km, a more realistic range would be 450km.

Being a Subaru the ability to explore a variety of road surfaces is important and, on the launch, drive we did just that. We visited the Scenic Rim Adventure Park, a 680-acre property about one hour’s drive from Brisbane and the Gold Coast.

The Solterra comes with up to 212mm of ground clearance, Dual Mode X-Mode and Subarus famous Symmetrical AWD system.

This combination is ideal for slippery or icy conditions, steep hills, muddy terrain or just in the torrential downpours we sometimes get in the urban jungle.

The Solterra is whisper quiet to drive and so easy to buzz around in.

One thing that may surprise potential buyers is the price. We are used to EVs being so expensive, but the Solterra is exceptionally well priced from just under $70,000 plus the usual costs.
