Climate Control AUTO Mode Needs More Dynamic Fan Response

I would like to report an issue regarding the automatic climate control behavior on the Leapmotor B10. I have been driving cars equipped with automatic climate control systems for more than 20 years, across many different brands and vehicle segments, and I have never experienced an automatic mode behaving like the one currently implemented in the B10. In a typical automatic climate control system, when entering a vehicle with a very high cabin temperature — for example around 32°C — while the target temperature is set to 22°C, the system normally reacts aggressively at first: the fan speed immediately increases to a high level in order to cool the cabin down as quickly as possible. Then, as the interior temperature approaches the selected target temperature, the fan speed progressively decreases automatically, eventually stabilizing at a low and comfortable level just sufficient to maintain the desired temperature. The Leapmotor B10 does not currently behave this way. With an interior temperature around 32°C and the climate control set to 22°C in AUTO mode, the system usually limits the fan speed to level 2 or 3 only. Because of this, the cabin cools down very slowly and often does not reach a comfortable temperature in a reasonable amount of time. As a result, I am frequently forced to disable AUTO mode and manually adjust: fan speed airflow direction ventilation intensity This defeats the purpose of having an automatic climate control system. Based on my experience with many vehicles over the years, this behavior does not seem normal for a modern automatic climate control system, especially in a technologically advanced vehicle like the Leapmotor B10. I believe the AUTO mode algorithm should be improved through a future OTA update so that the system can react more dynamically and aggressively when there is a large temperature difference between cabin temperature and target temperature. At the moment, the current behavior makes the user experience less comfortable and less refined than expected.
