Verdict
At RM107,800, the Leapmotor B10 costs RM14,609 less than the Mazda CX-30 and cuts annual road tax from RM439 to RM200. Its 215 hp, 240 Nm rear motor, 56.2 kWh battery and 361 km range make it the more convincing choice for buyers with dependable charging. It is also 120 mm longer with an 80 mm longer wheelbase, while retaining the same 430-litre boot. The CX-30 counters with a 196 km/h top speed, local CKD assembly, a space-saver spare and 6.4 L/100 km petrol consumption for drivers who cannot charge regularly.
Pick the Leapmotor B10 if you can charge at home or work and want lower purchase and road-tax costs, a 361 km EV range and active safety assistance.
Pick the Mazda CX-30 if petrol refuelling convenience, a space-saver spare tyre and the 196 km/h top speed matter more than the B10’s lower price and EV running costs.
