Leapmotor is a Chinese car maker, but what sets it apart from its contemporaries is that it’s led by Stellantis – the giant operation which owns Citroën, Fiat, Peugeot and Vauxhall, among others.

It arrived in the UK with the T03 small electric car and C10 electric SUV. Like other Chinese brands, it majors on price, but gets a useful foot in the door by leveraging dealerships already established by Stellantis.
