Verdict
The Leapmotor B10 is the sensible smaller SUV at RM107,800, with the same 215 hp rear motor, 11 kW AC charging and 1.7 kW V2L output as its sibling. But the RM21,200 gap to the C10 buys 80 Nm more torque, a 69.9 kWh battery, 420 km of range and an 84 kW DC charging figure. The C10 is also 224 mm longer with a 90 mm longer wheelbase, yet its boot adds only five litres. For family space and faster acceleration, take the C10; for a more compact EV with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the B10 has a strong case.
Pick the Leapmotor B10 if you want the RM107,800 entry point, a 4,515 mm-long SUV and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Pick the Leapmotor C10 if you need 420 km range, 320 Nm, 84 kW DC charging and the larger D-segment body.
