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.

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.
Renault 4
Electric
Owners love
- Owners and test drivers like the design, which stands out from other small electric SUVs.
- The boot has a low, flat sill that makes loading easy, and it is bigger than the Renault 5's.
- Rear legroom is better than in the Renault 5.
Watch out for
- Heated seats, a heated steering wheel and the powered tailgate come only on the top trims.
- Owners report a winter range drop of around 20%, with some seeing about 130 miles.
- Some owners report the car's own charge scheduling and the app failing to start a timed charge after it has gone to sleep.
Owner tips
- If you charge on a smart tariff, let the tariff or charger app control the schedule and check a charge has actually started.
- Use the Perso button by the steering wheel to set your preferred driver-assist settings in one press.
