My Coworker’s Tesla Broke, So He Bought This Chinese EV
The Leapmotor A10 isn’t the first Chinese EV to make headlines for being shockingly affordable. But it’s $9,500 USD starting price is actually just the beginning of what makes this one of the highest-value EVs on the planet.
In this review, I put the Leapmotor A10 to the test to find out what you get for your money. Despite the low entry price, it comes standard with a 14.6-inch center screen and an 8.8-inch digital instrument cluster. Even more surprising is the top-spec model, which, for just $12,500, adds a LiDAR-equipped L2++ driver assistance system that genuinely rivals cars costing three times as much.
I break down everything from the lozenge-inspired design and the surprisingly comfortable ride to the cargo capacity and real-world performance. We look at the 1.5L range extender vs. pure electric options, rear seat comfort, and the trade-offs you make at this price point. If you’ve been waiting for an EV that actually fits a tight budget, the A10 is a car you need to know about.0:00 Is this the cheapest EV in the world?
