Verdict
The RM109,800 BYD M6 costs RM2,000 more than the RM107,800 Leapmotor B10, yet its seven seats, 580-litre boot and 420 km range make the stronger case for a family carrying people and luggage. It also has 310 Nm and 3.3 kW V2L. The five-seat B10 counters with 215 hp, a 9.3-second 0-100 km/h time and a far fuller active-safety list, including autonomous braking, blind-spot information and adaptive cruise control. Pick on use: M6 for capacity and range, B10 for driver assistance and pace.
Pick the BYD M6 if you need seven seats, a 580-litre boot and 420 km of EV range.
Pick the Leapmotor B10 if you want 215 hp, 9.3-second acceleration and autonomous braking for RM2,000 less.
