Verdict
At the same RM118,800, these Malaysian-assembled SUVs take different routes. The Omoda Jaecoo J5 EV is the quicker, more practical choice: 208 hp and 288 Nm deliver 0-100 km/h in 7.7 seconds, while its 480-litre boot beats the Leapmotor B10’s 430 litres. The B10 counters with a 67.1-kWh battery and 434 km range, 32 km beyond the J5 EV, plus a 115-mm longer wheelbase. For Malaysian buyers, the J5 EV’s RM180 annual road tax also undercuts the B10’s RM200.
Pick the Omoda Jaecoo J5 EV if quicker 7.7-second acceleration, a 480-litre boot and a specified 130-kW DC charging rate matter most.
Pick the Leapmotor B10 if you want the longer 434-km range, a 2,735-mm wheelbase and rear-wheel drive at the same price.
