Video Summary
Here is the requested summary of the video:Leapmotor is a new brand in the EV market, launching in 2015 and backed by Stellantis Group. It is being sold in New Zealand alongside Peugeot and Citron.
The Leapmotor C10 looks like a smaller SUV but is actually a medium-to-large SUV. In certain dimensions, it's bigger than Mitsubishi Outlander or Toyota Rav4 and around the size of the Tesla Model Y.
The car doesn't have a front trunk under the bonnet, and the reviewer doesn't know why it doesn't, as it will be a plug-in hybrid in the future.
The car has LED headlights, an active grill shutter, and big aero pass-throughs.
New Zealand models do not have a light bar on the grill for regulatory reasons.
It has a 69.9 kWh battery, 68 kW usable, with a 420 km WLTP Range.
It has an 84 kW DC charging speed. 11 kW AC charging speed with Vehicle-to-load functionality.
Highlights of the Leapmotor C10:

Exterior Design: The car has 20-inch wheels, active grill shutters, and a light bar across the front, all increasing the aerodynamics.
Technology: The car features 2 Level driver assistance.
Lighting: The headlight are LED.
Interior: Offers lots of space in both the front and back and utilizes a giant glass roof to increase viewing.
Cargo Capacity: The vehicle offers a large boot that holds up to 435 liters.
Price Point: At a price of only $54,990, this vehicle has all the bells and whistles without the high cost.
The drawbacks include:
Missing Front Trunk: A missed opportunity is highlighted.
Charging Speed: Charging speeds are slower than current standards for large SUVs.
Software glitches: The infotainment systems are a little glitchy and don’t offer as robust a marketplace like some others do. An app is coming, but the car is reliant on the current system until then.
Entry: A key card to enter the vehicle is inconvenient and outdated.
