Verdict
At RM118,800, the Leapmotor B10 costs RM5,000 more than the RM113,800 Nissan Kicks e-Power, but the extra buys a larger 4,515-mm C-segment SUV, a 67.1-kWh battery and 434 km of EV range. It is also better equipped for daily use, with 11-kW AC charging, 1.7-kW V2L, a 360-degree camera and adaptive cruise control. The Kicks counters with lower RM85 annual road tax, 280 Nm from its motor and petrol-hybrid/REV refuelling. Choose based on charging access, not the near-identical 0-100 km/h times.
Pick the Leapmotor B10 if you can charge at home or work and want 434 km of EV range, more cabin footprint and substantially fuller driver-assistance kit.
Pick the Nissan Kicks e-Power if petrol-hybrid/REV refuelling, RM5,000 lower upfront cost and RM85 annual road tax matter more than EV range and extra equipment.
