Verdict
At RM100,000, the BYD Atto 2 is RM7,800 cheaper yet reaches 100 km/h in 7.9 seconds, 1.4 seconds ahead of the Leapmotor B10, despite the latter’s 215 hp motor. The B10 counters with C-segment dimensions, a 2,735-mm wheelbase, 430-litre boot and 361-km range; it is the roomier choice for five. At 4,310 mm long, the Atto 2 suits buyers prioritising a smaller SUV, stronger 290 Nm output and stated 82-kW DC charging. The Leapmotor adds blind-spot monitoring and a panoramic glass roof.
Pick the BYD Atto 2 if quicker acceleration, higher torque, a smaller body and 82-kW DC charging matter more than cabin and boot space.
Pick the Leapmotor B10 if you need the larger C-segment body, 430-litre boot, 361-km range and its extra safety and comfort equipment.
