There’s plenty of room in the back for a child seat, and the boot space is big enough for prams, shopping and all the extra gear that comes with family life.

The tech is impressive and easy to use, but there are a couple of things I’d need to get used to.

The keyless entry system, where you tap the mirror to lock and unlock the car, can be a little awkward when you’re carrying a child, a bag and trying to get everyone organised.

And charging definitely takes more planning than a quick stop at the servo.

However, the C10 will go around 400km on a charge, so that’s probably enough for most people for a week.

One major issue for me though is that there is no Apple CarPlay or Android Auto connectivity. I use that everyday as its convenient and safe. It feels like a big step backwards without having it and that means a big no from me.

So, while I’m starting to see the appeal of EVs for families, I’m still not completely convinced they’re the right fit for everyone.

Maybe I just need more time with one.

What do you think—could you make the switch?”*

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?”
