Verdict
At RM129,800, the Jetour T1 costs RM800 more but suits buyers who need its 574-litre boot, a 70-litre petrol tank and a space-saver spare for longer trips. The Leapmotor C10 is the stronger technical buy for city-based EV ownership: its rear motor makes 215 hp and 320 Nm, backed by a 69.9-kWh battery, 420 km range and 84-kW DC charging. It also brings seven airbags, but its 435-litre boot and tyre repair kit ask for compromise on family travel.
Pick the Jetour T1 if you want the larger 574-litre boot, petrol refuelling and a space-saver spare tyre.
Pick the Leapmotor C10 if you can charge an EV and want 215 hp, 320 Nm, 420 km range and richer cabin equipment for less money.
