Verdict
The Aion Y Plus costs RM119,800, RM9,200 less than the RM129,000 Leapmotor C10, yet claims the longer 430 km range and a stronger 3.3 kW V2L supply. It is also the smaller B-segment choice at 4,535 mm long. The C10 answers with D-segment dimensions, a 2,825 mm wheelbase, 435-litre boot and a much fuller driver-assistance list. Its 215 hp, 320 Nm rear motor cuts the 0-100 km/h time to 7.5 seconds, one second ahead. For families needing space and safety kit, the extra money has a clear destination.
Pick the Aion Y Plus if RM9,200 saved, 430 km claimed range, 3.3 kW V2L and an 8-year/160,000 km manufacturer warranty matter more than size and assistance systems.
Pick the Leapmotor C10 if you want the larger 4,739 mm D-segment body, 435-litre boot, quicker 7.5-second sprint and adaptive cruise control.
