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.
Toyota bZ4X
Icon FWD 57.7kWh
Owners love
- Strong sales performance in key markets (second-best selling EV in UK early 2024, #1 in Norway and Denmark) with excellent lease appeal
- Spacious, comfortable interior with excellent rear legroom and well-designed cabin features like storage and entertainment systems
- Responsive driving dynamics with good handling that belies its weight, plus car-like agility for an SUV
Watch out for
- Real-world range significantly underperforms WLTP claims (150-230 miles on motorways versus 315+ claimed; drops further with air conditioning)
- Poor efficiency compared to competitors; atrocious efficiency-to-battery-size ratio relative to rivals like Ioniq 5 and Model Y
- Rapid charging severely limited by thermal management issues requiring only 3-4 DC charges per 24 hours, and performance degrades significantly in cold weather
Owner tips
- Look for aggressive lease deals and consider salary sacrifice schemes, which offer better value than outright purchase; aim for 24-month terms where pricing appears cheaper
- Install a home charging unit (like Easee One) and plan charging around home charger for daily use; limit long trips to 3-4 rapid charges per 24 hours with proper spacing
