Aion ES vs Leapmotor B10
Verdict
The prices barely separate them: the Aion ES is RM106,800 and the Leapmotor B10 is RM107,800, so this is not a budget call. The Aion is the longer-range sedan, with 442 km from 55.2 kWh, a 450-litre boot and an eight-year warranty. The B10 trades that for an SUV body, rear-wheel drive and much stronger output: 215 hp versus 136 hp, plus a quoted 9.3-second century sprint. If daily distance matters, take the Aion; if you want the taller, punchier EV, the Leapmotor makes the clearer case.
Pick the Aion ES if you want the longer quoted EV range, lower annual road tax and the larger boot.
Pick the Leapmotor B10 if you want an SUV shape, rear-wheel drive, more power and confirmed AEB with seven airbags.
