Verdict
The Leapmotor B10 costs RM7,000 less at RM118,800, brings a 67.1 kWh battery and claims 434 km, versus the BYD Atto 3’s 60.48 kWh and 420 km. It also supports 11 kW AC charging against 7 kW. But the Atto 3 is much quicker, reaching 100 km/h in 7.3 seconds against 9.3 seconds, and has 310 Nm to the B10’s 240 Nm. Its published 110 kW DC rate, 3.3 kW V2L output and 434-litre boot make it the more rounded long-trip choice; pick the B10 for the lower entry price and local CKD assembly.
Pick the BYD Atto 3 if you want the 7.3-second 0-100 km/h performance, 110 kW DC charging figure and stronger 3.3 kW V2L output.
Pick the Leapmotor B10 if saving RM7,000, gaining 14 km of stated range and having 11 kW AC charging matter more than outright acceleration.
