Leapmotor C10

Leeds EH must be run off their feet - I can't get through on the phone.

For those down south - the best I can get in London (so far....) is 189 1 + 23 5k miles Forest Green

I managed to get and broadcast the £161 5k miles deal

Ordered the carlinkit CCPA without mic to get wireless carplay and AA. Looks like its just plug and play! I think the version without mic should be fine as people are saying they're getting the built in mic to work with some playing about.

When I get the car I need to find a magsafe charger for my iPhone.

Apparently there's a 2pin connector for a dashcam on or under the headlining where the hazard button is.

Hopefully getting the car in 2/3 weeks

Is that £161 on a 1+23 deal?

[cd778]

Oh, and I test drove it. Seemed fine (if not quick)

Comfortable car - be warned there is an eery driver facing camera for sleepiness detection (and god knows what else...)

Driver assistance was unbearable but simple to switch off (forgot to see if it re-instated after shut down and restart)

They are - check out the news... German stuff is dying for example

There'll always be some people willing to pay a premium to lord it over their neighbours and colleagues; in the Chinese domestic market too, there's a cachet around driving a European car.

Not any more, people are wising up to the fact that the Germans have been ripping everyone off for decades now.

I can't see how the established brands are not completely stuffed.

Especially when most people aren't bothered about cars, and even PHers will buy them when they're cheap.

A neighbour has an Omoda 5. I asked her what it's like to drive - she seemed confused by the question. She showed me the electric tailgate. That seemed to be its most significant point to her.

I think a lot of people on here forget that. What's it like to drive is a completely meaningless question to millions.

What do you mean what's it like to drive? It's got 4 wheels on the outside and one on the inside.

Not fussed with EV s yet but this might be too good to miss for getting my mountain bike to and from the trails as my Cayman GTS is rubbish for that.


Will this charge off a three pin plug if I changed the socket to one that can charge EV s?

Yes no problem. It'll only charge at a rate of about 2.3kw, which is around 7-8 mph.

Just put my order through in Citroen Leeds. Joshua Dobson was very helpful (only in his first week) - make sure to ask for him and he’ll have you sorted in no time!

161 a month with 161 deposit

Green C10 for me from Birmingham North.
6+23, £912 upfront then £152 per month. Works out at £183.67 amortised for 6,000 miles per year.

Not quite as cheap as Leeds but had got the order in before I saw Yus's post about Leeds. Still very happy with this price.

Originally saw the deal last Friday when the best price was £199 for 1+23 from Unity Automotive. Applied immediately for this through Leasing.com then followed with a call on Saturday, they took my details but I never heard back from them so jumped ship to Birmingham North.

I've since spoken with Unity Automotive and they are one of the few dealers who have green stock for immediate delivery so worth considering for someone who'd like one quick.

Got a Polestar 2 that goes back in December so hoping for delivery then which Birmingham North think they can accommodate.

Won t do many miles so not sure spending £800 or whatever it is on getting a charge point fitted?

Also does the C10 come with a granny charging lead?

Had electric cars for over 10 years and made that mistake early on. Just get a proper charger installed, it's so much better

Good find! Will be interested to hear if it works

Try the online request form.
I used it yesterday about this time & got a call after 6pm.
They signed up 58 on Wednesday & there phones not stopped!

[Denno B]

Sounds like Citroen Leeds are only ones doing the £161 deal for some reason, anyone enquired about ordering one for delivery or would it be collection only?

Thanks just sent. Are these cars already in the uk as seems some stock around or are all the Leeds one October?

Does this have keyless entry?

Yes if you connect your phone to the car. you may need to adjust the distance parameters as it may lock and unlock whilst you're in your house.

If you have two people with the app then it will log out the other person when you login and vice versa. But no need to have the key card on you or on the wireless charger

[Rusty Old-Banger]

If only it was 7 seats.

Maybe the C10 already has the kit but it s not enabled?

Even the dongle manufacturer only claims to add a wireless function to an enabled vehicle.

I have 2 of them and they a do nothing to my car without CarPlay.

I think it works because the C10's OS is Android based. The CCPA kit's manual states the following.

O Supported car models
Android system navigation host, Android version 4.2 or above

Got it, you need to download the Carlinkit app first.

Clever.

No downloading an app required it seems, it just comes up when you plug it into the USB. There are a few videos on some of the c10 facebook groups

I was told a 2/3 week wait time on mine (I was one of the first to order)

Not sure how true that is though but happy to wait. He did say at the time they had 10 on their way and access to more if needed

[scotnoob]

cant quite commit to this as its a little plain for me.

Very curious if its start of price war though. Especially considering new grant.
