Verdict
For RM1,000 less, the locally assembled Leapmotor B10 brings C-segment dimensions, a 67.1-kWh battery, 434 km of range and a 430-litre boot. Its 215 hp/240 Nm rear motor also pairs with multi-link rear suspension, adaptive cruise control and autonomous braking. The Aion Y Plus counters with the quicker 8.5-second 0-100 km/h time, an 80-kW DC charging figure and 3.3-kW V2L. Malaysian buyers who prioritise active safety, cabin kit and boot space should take the B10; long-term warranty cover and faster claimed acceleration favour the Y Plus.
Pick the Aion Y Plus if quicker 8.5-second acceleration, 80-kW DC charging, 3.3-kW V2L and its 8-year/200,000-km battery warranty matter most.
Pick the Leapmotor B10 if you want a RM118,800 CKD C-segment SUV with 434 km range, a 430-litre boot and substantially fuller driver-assistance kit.
