Verdict
The Leapmotor B10 costs RM12,800 more, but moves into C-segment territory: it is 130 mm longer and rides on an 80 mm longer wheelbase than the Seres 3. Its 215 hp motor and 56.2 kWh battery also bring 361 km of range, against 161 hp, 53.6 kWh and 340 km. The Seres counters with a useful 525-litre boot, 95 litres more than the B10, plus 300 Nm and a lower RM120 annual road tax. For family use and driver assistance, the B10 is the better-equipped choice; the Seres 3 is the cheaper load-lugger.
Pick the Leapmotor B10 if you want the larger 4,515-mm body, 361-km range, rear-wheel drive and autonomous braking with adaptive cruise control.
Pick the Seres 3 if you want to spend less, carry more in its 525-litre boot and prefer 300 Nm torque with powered front seats.
