What owners say
Aggregated from UK owner forums and communities - the things you only learn after living with the car.
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.
MINI Countryman
E
Owners love
- First MINI purpose-built as an EV with proven BMW iX1 dual-motor AWD technology and 313 hp output
- Owners praise the new MINI OS 9 navigation system, one-pedal driving, and driving assist modes
- Circular touchscreen display is innovative and the first fully-usable design of its kind
Watch out for
- Styling is controversial and considered generic compared to previous generations, lacking distinctive MINI character
- Front end proportions appear elongated and clumsy, with some comparing it unfavorably to ordinary sedans and the Ford Flex
- Charging speeds are modest at 100-130 kW DC, below current industry standards
Owner tips
- Use Shell Recharge integration or third-party NACS adapters like Lectron Vortex Plus to enable Plug & Charge on compatible networks like IONNA and Tesla
- Inspect interior trim carefully during purchase, particularly in Favored trim models, and examine official photos to verify proportions before committing
