Leapmotor B10 vs Seres 3
Verdict
At RM107,800 versus RM95,000, the Leapmotor B10 asks RM12,800 more, and on paper that money buys a larger C-segment body, 215 hp, 361 km of EV range, rear-wheel drive, multi-link rear suspension and a much fuller driver-assist set. The Seres 3 fights back with 300 Nm, a bigger 525-litre boot, powered front seats and cheaper RM120 road tax. For a Malaysian family, the B10 is the more complete EV SUV; the Seres 3 is the lower-cost, luggage-friendlier choice.
Pick the Leapmotor B10 if you want the stronger safety kit, longer 361 km range, larger cabin footprint and rear-wheel-drive layout.
Pick the Seres 3 if you want to spend RM12,800 less and prioritise a 525-litre boot plus powered front seats.
