Verdict
The Leapmotor B10 costs RM8,820 more, but it is the bigger C-segment SUV: 125 mm longer, 75 mm wider and on an 85 mm longer wheelbase than the Xforce. Its 215 hp, 240 Nm rear motor, 67.1 kWh battery and 434 km range make a very different case from the Mitsubishi’s 104 hp, 141 Nm 1.5-litre petrol CVT. The Xforce saves RM80 a year in road tax and brings a space-saver spare plus front parking sensors. But the B10 adds autonomous braking, steering lane-keeping, adaptive cruise and curtain/far-side airbags.
Pick the Leapmotor B10 if you can charge an EV and want 434 km of stated range, stronger 215 hp performance and more active safety kit.
Pick the Mitsubishi Xforce if a lower purchase price, RM120 annual road tax, a 42-litre petrol tank and a space-saver spare suit your use better.
