Verdict
Just RM550 separates these locally assembled SUVs, but they serve different jobs. The Jetour VT9 is the larger 4,724-mm, seven-seat petrol SUV, with a 57-litre tank and a seven-year/150,000-km vehicle warranty. Its 89-litre boot is tiny with all seats in use. The five-seat Leapmotor B10 is 209 mm shorter yet has a 430-litre boot, a 67.1-kWh battery rated for 434 km, and 215 hp from its rear motor. It also brings seven airbags and active safety kit that the VT9 lacks. For most five-seat buyers, the B10 is the better-equipped choice; the VT9 earns its place with the third row.
Pick the Jetour VT9 if you need seven seats and a larger 4,724-mm body for family duty.
Pick the Leapmotor B10 if five seats suffice and you want 434 km of EV range, 430 litres of boot space and stronger safety equipment.
