From EV Review Ireland.
Welcome back to the channel! Today we are living with the Leapmotor B10, and it’s a car that is "almost perfect." We first saw this at the international launch in France, but now we have it in right-hand drive with official Irish pricing. Starting at just under €33,000, and with a major software update that finally brings Android Auto to the platform, this C-segment SUV is offering incredible value. Backed by Stellantis, Leapmotor is rapidly expanding, and the B10 is their most competitive global offering yet. We’re going to look at the smart interior, the impressive legroom, and take it for a drive to see if it lives up to the hype.
