Verdict
The Leapmotor B10 asks a RM2,000 premium, but brings a 67.1 kWh battery, 434 km EV range and a 215 hp, 240 Nm rear motor. Its 2,735 mm wheelbase and 430-litre boot also give it a more family-minded footprint than the Chery O5’s 2,630 mm and 378 litres. The O5 counters with a 1.5-litre turbo petrol motor, a lower RM120 annual road tax and a seven-year/150,000 km vehicle warranty. Pick on charging access: the B10 makes most sense for buyers able to use its 11 kW AC charging, while the O5 avoids charging dependence altogether.
Pick the Chery O5 if you want petrol convenience, RM120 annual road tax and a longer seven-year vehicle warranty.
Pick the Leapmotor B10 if you can charge at home and want 434 km of EV range, more cabin length and a larger boot.
