1150KM OF EV RANGE?! LEAPMOTOR C10 REEV ULTRA HYBRID REVIEW 2025 AUSTRALIA

EV Channels Review

The Leapmotor C10 Ultra Hybrid presents a compelling value proposition, offering a substantial EV driving range of approximately 102 km in winter conditions, with potential for more in warmer weather. The reviewer highlights its comfortable interior, spacious rear seating, and a large glass roof as significant positives, making it a practical family-friendly option. However, the driving experience is noted as uninspiring, with vague steering and a firm ride. A major drawback is the infotainment system's lack of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and the intrusive nature of some safety systems that require deactivation on every drive. The petrol engine functions solely as a generator, and while it extends total range significantly, its operation can be noisy and it doesn't offer a performance boost. Fuel efficiency in hybrid mode is described as "not staggeringly good." Despite a strong safety rating (for EV models) and a decent warranty package, concerns remain about the long-term resale value of this relatively unknown brand.
