Leapmotor C10 RWD vs Plus
Verdict
The Leapmotor C10 Plus makes the clearer case if you drive beyond the Klang Valley often: the RM14,000 gap buys a larger 81.9 kWh battery, 510 km range and a much stronger 295 hp motor. It is also 1.3 seconds quicker to 100 km/h. But the Leapmotor C10 RWD keeps the same 4,739 mm body, 2,825 mm wheelbase, 435-litre boot, seven airbags and AEB, so on paper you are not losing space or basic safety. Its lower RM200 road tax helps too.
Pick the Leapmotor C10 RWD if you want the same D-segment cabin size and boot space for less money.
Pick the Leapmotor C10 Plus if the extra 90 km of range and 80 hp matter more than the higher price and road tax.
