Verdict

At RM119,800, the Aion Y Plus costs RM1,000 more, yet the Leapmotor B10 brings C-segment positioning, a 67.1-kWh battery and 434 km range against 63.2 kWh and 430 km. The B10 also gets 7 airbags, autonomous braking, blind-spot monitoring and adaptive cruise control, while its 430-litre boot is 25 litres larger.
