Shared watch-outs for both cars

Kia EV3
Standard Range 58.3kWh
Owners love
- Owners are consistently delighted with the range: 250-350 miles in practice, around 4.5-5 miles per kWh in summer and about 3 in winter.
- Interior quality, space and comfort are rated well above what the size and price suggest.
- The ride is comfortable and the car is easy and quiet to drive.
Watch out for
- Rapid charging is slower than some rivals: owners see peaks of around 100-135 kW and a curve that tails off.
- The safety and driver-assistance systems beep too often and some are over-sensitive.
- A few owners report home AC charging dropping to 1.4-3.4 kW or other charging faults, with slow dealer diagnosis.
Owner tips
- Spend the first week setting up the infotainment and turning off the driver-assistance alerts you don't want.
- Expect 2.8-3.5 miles per kWh in winter and plan longer winter trips around it.
Leapmotor B10
67.1kWh Design
Owners love
- Owners rate it as strong value, with a long standard kit list including a 360-degree camera, ventilated seats and a panoramic roof.
- The cabin is roomy and the seats comfortable, in a car that is not oversized.
- It drives smoothly with good pull-away performance, and owners report good efficiency.
Watch out for
- Almost everything is on the touchscreen, with few physical buttons.
- There is no rear wiper, no front parking sensors and no rear interior lights, and floor mats are extra.
- Emergency lane keeping comes back on every journey, the indicators don't self-cancel and adaptive cruise is basic.
Owner tips
- Set up the shortcut button to turn off lane-keeping and other driver aids.
- Turn off fast boot to avoid a small daily battery drain.
