Verdict
For a Malaysian buyer, the RM9,200 gap from the RM119,800 iCaur 03 to the RM129,000 Leapmotor C10 buys meaningful everyday utility: 435 litres of boot space against 264 litres, a 2,825 mm wheelbase against 2,715 mm, and 420 km of EV range against 355 km. The C10 also has 215 hp and 320 Nm, versus 181 hp and 220 Nm. The iCaur counters with a stronger 3.2 kW V2L output, rear-seat ventilation and a seven-year vehicle warranty. Pick on use case: space and range favour the C10; V2L and a lower entry price favour the iCaur.
Pick the iCaur 03 if you want to spend RM9,200 less, need 3.2 kW V2L and value ventilated rear seats plus a seven-year vehicle warranty.
Pick the Leapmotor C10 if you need the 420 km range, 435-litre boot and stronger 215 hp, 320 Nm rear motor for family duties.
