Leaping Into Luxury With The Leapmotor C10

Get ready for another episode of Cruise Control as the crew discuss the latest happenings in the automotive world! This week’s headlines include China’s Car of the Year - the Chery Exlantix, which is making waves with its design and performance; they’ll also talk about how Jetour is set the rename the X50 in Malaysia, along with BYD's strategic move into Japan – what implications does this have for established players like Toyota?

The crew will also delve into a study from the University of Birmingham that reveals how modern electric vehicles can now last as long, if not longer, than traditional internal combustion engine cars. Join us as we discover how newer battery electric vehicles (BEVs) are now matching or even surpassing the lifespan of petrol cars and what this means for sustainable transportation.

And it’s time for a car review – featuring the Leapmotor C10! This new pure battery electric vehicle is now available in Malaysia without import taxes, and even positions itself as an alternative to the Tesla Model Y. Be sure to tune in as Daniel, Ali and Richard explore its performance metrics, spacious interior, and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), as well as their experience during a test drive!
