Verdict
For just RM200 less, the Leapmotor B10 brings a 215 hp, 240 Nm rear motor, 56.2 kWh battery and 361 km EV range, while reaching 100 km/h in 9.3 seconds. Its 2,735 mm wheelbase is 115 mm longer too. The Omoda Jaecoo J5 counters with a larger 480-litre boot, powered front seats, dual-zone air-conditioning and a seven-year/150,000 km warranty. For Malaysians with dependable charging, the B10 is the more spacious, quicker choice; the J5 makes more sense for petrol familiarity and its RM120 annual road tax.
Pick the Omoda Jaecoo J5 if you want a petrol SUV with a 480-litre boot, powered front seats and dual-zone climate control.
Pick the Leapmotor B10 if you can charge at home or work and want 361 km EV range, quicker acceleration and a longer wheelbase.
