Verdict
At RM108,000, the Omoda Jaecoo J5 is RM10,800 cheaper and gives Malaysian buyers a 480-litre boot, space-saver spare and seven-year/150,000 km warranty. Its 1.5-litre turbo petrol motor makes 145 hp and 210 Nm, reaching 100 km/h in 10.2 seconds. The RM118,800 Leapmotor B10 is the larger C-segment SUV: 135 mm longer in wheelbase, with a 215 hp, 240 Nm rear motor that cuts the sprint to 9.3 seconds. Its 67.1-kWh battery claims 434 km range, but the boot is 50 litres smaller and annual road tax is RM80 higher.
Pick the Omoda Jaecoo J5 if you want the lower RM108,000 entry price, a larger 480-litre boot and a space-saver spare tyre.
Pick the Leapmotor B10 if you can charge an EV and want 215 hp, a 434-km claimed range and the B10’s 2,735-mm wheelbase.
