The b05 also have custom "driving profiles" to store all your settings for the beeps and boops so you can just select your profile when entering the car so all is deactivated, while having a différent profile for your significant other who may like having the car beeping like a left opened freezer on a summer day.

$12 Rolex? Extravagant. My uncle got one from Thailand for a quarter of that cost... Had a 'B' instead of an 'R' in the name, the blue steel finish wore off around the edges, and the second hand 'jumped' instead of swept around the dial, so it was a rare one.

Damn, in China they refreshed the B01 sedan, B05 wagon and B10 SUV<br><br> with bigger batteries 67kwh>69kwh, 400V>800V Architecture and more power from 160kw (210hp)>185kW (248hp) and have rear wiper now

The weather looked lovely in this review. Brilliant blue Kiwi skies. I miss them.

You might want to mention that it's got a 12 speaker top notch sound system in the Design version. Though it's not a known brand it sounds really great.

Well that is a startling interior in brownish-beige! But I like that we dont have put up with boring grey on the inside and white or silver on the outside. Inject a bit of fun again!

I'm 2 meters tall, and this is one of the few cars where I can raise the steering wheel high enough to keep it from hitting my knees. Please don't make fun of this feature without understanding why it's there in the first place. If automakers start listening to comments like yours, I might not be able to drive comfortably in the future.

I’ve seen complaints of the driving wheel position and the uncomfortable pedal positioning in the A10 as well. I hope leapmotor takes the comments to improve future iterations and cars.

@<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJfLFUt0Lrs&t=540">9:00</a> I had a conversation with the car dealer when I test drove this. the rear seat cup holder has a food warmer type thing installed. Hence the weird symbol just behind the cupholders. As far as I know this is only available in China though.
