Verdict
At RM119,350 versus RM118,800, only RM550 separates these two locally assembled SUVs. The Leapmotor B10 brings a 215 hp, 240 Nm rear motor, 67.1 kWh battery and 434 km range, plus blind-spot monitoring, autonomous braking and adaptive cruise control. Its 430-litre boot is far more useful than the VT9’s 89 litres. But the Jetour VT9 is the choice for a seven-seat household, measuring 4,724 mm long and carrying RM120 annual road tax against the B10’s RM200.
Pick the Jetour VT9 if you need seven seats, a 57-litre petrol tank and a space-saver spare tyre.
Pick the Leapmotor B10 if five seats are enough and you want 434 km EV range, a 430-litre boot and a fuller ADAS suite.
