Verdict
At RM118,800, the Leapmotor B10 undercuts the Mazda CX-30 by RM3,609 while bringing a 67.1 kWh battery, 434 km EV range and 215 hp/240 Nm rear motor. It is also 120 mm longer and rides on a 80 mm longer wheelbase, yet both have a 430-litre boot. The Mazda counters with a 196 km/h top speed, a 51-litre petrol tank and a 1,441 kg kerb weight, 404 kg below the B10. For a Malaysian buyer with dependable charging, the Leapmotor gives more equipment and lower annual road tax; the Mazda suits fuel-stop flexibility.
The CX-30 2.0G High+ Premium (RM154,409) sits above every B10 variant here, so the verdict compares the closest-priced pairing — use the selectors above to match any two trims.
Pick the Leapmotor B10 if you can charge regularly and want 434 km EV range, active safety assistance and more cabin technology for less money.
Pick the Mazda CX-30 if petrol refuelling flexibility, a 196 km/h top speed and a space-saver spare tyre matter more than EV running costs and driver assistance.
