Leapmotor B10 vs Maxus V80
Verdict
This is less a like-for-like contest than a use-case split. The Leapmotor B10 is a five-seat C-segment electric SUV at RM107,800, with 215 hp, rear-wheel drive, a 56.2 kWh battery and 361 km of range. The Maxus V80 costs RM102,076 and is a two-seat commercial diesel with an 80-litre tank, manual gearbox and a much larger body. For a Malaysian buyer, the B10 is the family and commuting choice; the V80 is for carrying work gear, not people.
Pick the Leapmotor B10 if you want a five-seat electric SUV with 361 km of range, seven airbags and AEB.
Pick the Maxus V80 if you need a large two-seat commercial diesel with an 80-litre tank and manual gearbox.
