Shared watch-outs for both cars
Owners of every car here flag infotainment & software. Worth checking on a test drive whichever you choose.
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.
Nissan ARIYA
Engage+ 63kWh
Owners love
- Owners praise the quiet, roomy cabin, the comfortable seats and the interior design.
- The 87 kWh cars give a long range in mild weather, with owners reporting around 280-300 miles.
- Owners who tow find it capable, and the head-up display and 360-degree camera are well liked.
Watch out for
- The infotainment and navigation feel slow and dated, with touch-sensitive buttons that are easy to brush by accident.
- Several owners report 12-volt battery problems, sometimes within the first months.
- Winter range drops noticeably, with one 87 kWh owner seeing the estimate fall from about 330 to 220-230 miles.
Owner tips
- Ask whether the 12-volt battery has been replaced, and consider a cheap 12-volt monitor.
- Use the battery percentage rather than the range estimate, which is unreliable for the first few charges and in winter.
