Don't be scared and make the jump to electric with the impressive Leapmotor

MOTORISTS are understandably hesitant about taking the leap from their traditionally powered cars into electric.

Now the powerful French-based Stellantis group is offering a way to ease us into the future with the minimum of fuss and financial hardship.

The solution?

A Stellantis-led Chinese brand Leapmotor offering eastern technology and innovation backed by the after-sales care of brands such as Alfa Romeo, Peugeot, Jeep and Fiat.

Leapmotor is already in 44 retailers and expects to make that 80 by the end of the year.

Thanks to this partnership, it is bringing to market the company's big all-electric C10 SUV, a large and spacious family car brimful of tech and pitched at well under £40,000.
