Verdict
The Leapmotor B10 costs RM12,000 more, but its 67.1-kWh battery brings a stated 434 km range, 11-kW AC charging and 1.7-kW V2L for buyers able to charge at home or work. It also gets 215 hp, rear-wheel drive and a far fuller active-safety suite. The Proton X70 answers with a 515-litre boot, 60-litre petrol tank and lower RM120 annual road tax against RM200. For long trips without charging planning, the X70 remains the simpler choice; for daily EV use, the B10’s extra hardware justifies the gap.
Pick the Leapmotor B10 if you can charge regularly and want 434 km of EV range, 215 hp and adaptive cruise control with autonomous braking.
Pick the Proton X70 if you need the larger 515-litre boot and the flexibility of a 60-litre petrol tank.
