Verdict
At RM116,800, the Chery O5 is RM2,000 cheaper and its RM120 annual road tax is RM80 lower, so it remains the simpler choice for buyers without home or workplace charging. The Leapmotor B10 is the larger SUV, stretching 115 mm longer with a 105 mm longer wheelbase, and adds a 67.1-kWh battery for 434 km of EV range. Its 215-hp, 240-Nm rear motor also has a clear output advantage over the O5’s 145 hp and 230 Nm turbo petrol. The O5 counters with a longer seven-year vehicle warranty and a space-saver spare.
Pick the Chery O5 if you need petrol convenience, lower RM120 road tax and the reassurance of a seven-year vehicle warranty.
Pick the Leapmotor B10 if you can charge regularly and want 434 km EV range, a roomier 2,735-mm wheelbase and 430-litre boot.
