Verdict
The Leapmotor B10 costs RM9,000 more, but brings a 67.1-kWh battery and 434 km EV range against the Proton eMas 7 PHEV’s 18.4-kWh battery and 83 km electric range. That matters if home charging is your main fuel plan. The Proton is quicker to 100 km/h at 8.0 seconds versus 9.3 seconds, has a 528-litre boot and a 51-litre petrol tank for longer trips beyond its EV range. The B10 counters with 11-kW AC charging, rear-wheel drive and noticeably richer cabin equipment.
Pick the Leapmotor B10 if you can charge regularly and want 434 km of electric range, 11-kW AC charging and more standard convenience equipment.
Pick the Proton eMas 7 PHEV if you want the lower entry price, an 8.0-second 0-100 km/h time, a 528-litre boot and petrol backup from its 51-litre tank.
