BYD Atto 3 vs Leapmotor B10
Verdict
The BYD Atto 3 is the more expensive but stronger long-distance choice: RM125,800 buys 420 km range, 310 Nm and a 7.3-second 0-100 km/h time. The Leapmotor B10 costs RM107,800 and counters with 215 hp, rear-wheel drive, 11 kW AC charging and a larger shell, but its 361 km range and 9.3-second sprint put it behind on EV fundamentals. For a Malaysian buyer, this is range and performance versus price, cabin size and home-charging speed.
Pick the BYD Atto 3 if you want the longer-range, quicker EV with more torque, stronger convenience kit and listed 110 kW DC charging.
Pick the Leapmotor B10 if you want to spend less, get a bigger C-segment SUV footprint, rear-wheel drive and faster 11 kW AC charging.
