Does the Leapmotor T03 have many issues?
2 Answers
The Leapmotor T03 is quite disappointing in terms of craftsmanship, with gaps around the hood wide enough to fit a finger, and it also suffers from significant noise. Below are the detailed aspects: Introduction: The Leapmotor T03 has a length exceeding 3.6 meters and a wheelbase of 2.4 meters, which is leading in its class. As for the tires, the Leapmotor T03 is equipped with Nexen tires. In terms of rear design, the Leapmotor T03 doesn't have much to say, as the overall design is quite simple. Trunk opening method: What's particularly frustrating is its trunk opening mechanism, which is maddening—it can only be opened via a button on the central control screen or the key fob. This method of operation is utterly impractical. Moreover, it doesn't always open successfully on the first try; using the central control screen button often requires multiple attempts back and forth.
Since I bought the Leapmotor T03 last year and have been driving it until now, overall I haven’t encountered many issues. Right after picking up the car, there were occasional minor software bugs, like the APP remote control sometimes failing to connect, requiring a system restart. However, the manufacturer’s updates were quite prompt, and after several upgrades, it became stable. In terms of range, it does drop faster in winter, but in summer, a single charge can easily cover over 300 kilometers. Minor issues like the infotainment screen lagging don’t affect daily driving—you get used to it. The most important things about driving such a small car are saving money and the convenience of parking, with low maintenance costs—electricity bills are just around a hundred yuan a month. Overall, as an urban commuter, it offers great value for the money. The issues are acceptable; don’t expect perfection, but it’s definitely a beginner-friendly choice.
