Leapmotor B10

Leapmotor B10

Verdict

At RM108,888, the Dongfeng Vigo is RM1,088 dearer than the RM107,800 Leapmotor B10, yet returns 380 km of range and a 500-litre boot against 361 km and 430 litres. Its 167 kW DC figure and 3.3 kW V2L output also suit longer trips and external-power use, while powered, ventilated front seats add daily comfort. The B10 counters with a stronger 215 hp rear motor, 9.3-second sprint, 11 kW AC charging and multi-link rear suspension. Its RM200 annual road tax is RM80 more, but it is the more driver-focused choice.

B10

Pick the Leapmotor B10 if you prioritise its 215 hp rear-wheel-drive layout, 11 kW AC charging, multi-link rear suspension and extra far-side airbag.
