What owners say
Aggregated from UK owner forums and communities - the things you only learn after living with the car.
Ford Capri
Style Standard Range 58kWh
Owners love
- Owners report realistic ranges of 300 miles or more and good efficiency, especially on the rear-wheel-drive car.
- It is comfortable and easy to drive, with light steering and a good driving position.
- The boot is large and the cabin roomy for a coupe-SUV, so it works as a family car.
Watch out for
- The FordPass app is slow to connect and less capable than rival apps.
- The infotainment menus are jumbled, and the touch-sensitive steering wheel buttons draw criticism.
- There are no physical climate controls.
Owner tips
- Try the FordPass app before you buy if you rely on remote charging and preconditioning.
- Use phone mirroring for navigation rather than the built-in menus.
Leapmotor C10
Base
Owners love
- Owners rate the C10 as outstanding value: big, comfortable and loaded with equipment (panoramic roof, heated and ventilated seats, a strong stereo, 360-degree cameras).
- It is quiet and relaxing to drive, with a soft ride suited to family use and good one-pedal driving.
- Efficiency is good around town (about 4-4.4 miles per kWh), with around 210-220 miles of mixed-use range in mild weather.
Watch out for
- The driver-assistance warnings and lane-keeping are intrusive and the adaptive cruise control is jerky.
- There is no native Apple CarPlay or Android Auto; owners add a cheap aftermarket adapter, with mixed results.
- Insurance can be hard to find: several large insurers will not cover the car and quotes vary widely.
Owner tips
- Map your preferred driver-assist settings to the steering-wheel button after the latest software update.
- Get insurance quotes before you commit, and try several insurers.

Frequently asked questions
Which is cheaper to own over 5 years, the Ford Capri or the Leapmotor C10?
The Leapmotor C10 is £485 cheaper to buy. The Ford Capri is cheaper to charge, roughly £168 a year versus £216 for the Leapmotor C10, at 8,000 miles on an off-peak home tariff. Add 5 years of charging and the two land within £245 of each other - effectively the same to own. These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.
What are the Ford Capri and Leapmotor C10 like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 193 miles for the Ford Capri and 175 miles for the Leapmotor C10 - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Ford Capri goes roughly 18 miles further between charging stops. Both rapid-charge to 80% in a similar time, around 25-30 minutes.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the Ford Capri or the Leapmotor C10?
The two are within 28 mm on width, so neither is meaningfully easier to thread into a tight space. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 528 mm of total clearance for the Ford Capri and about 500 mm of total clearance for the Leapmotor C10.
Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the Ford Capri or the Leapmotor C10?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 90% battery health for the Ford Capri and 90% for the Leapmotor C10. That is close enough that capacity loss should not decide between them. Both use LFP-type cells, which are happy charged to 100% every day. Both batteries carry a 8-year manufacturer warranty.
