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. The Aion counters with quicker 8.5-second 0-100 km/h pace, an 80-kW DC charging figure and 3.3-kW V2L. For family use and safety kit, the B10 is the sharper buy; frequent fast-charging users should scrutinise the B10’s DC-charging specification.
Pick the Aion Y Plus if quicker 8.5-second acceleration, stated 80-kW DC charging and 3.3-kW V2L matter more than driver-assistance kit.
Pick the Leapmotor B10 if you want 7 airbags, autonomous braking, blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control and a larger 430-litre boot for RM1,000 less.
