Verdict
The RM9,912 saving makes the Dongfeng Vigo the sharper budget call, and its 500-litre boot is 70 litres larger than the Leapmotor B10’s. But the B10 justifies much of its extra outlay with 215 hp, a 67.1-kWh battery and 434 km of range, against 161 hp, 51.87 kWh and 380 km for the Vigo. It is also locally assembled and has a multi-link rear suspension. The Vigo counters with a listed 167-kW DC charging rate and 3.3-kW V2L output, so charging convenience and carrying capacity may matter more than the B10’s extra 54 km of range.
Pick the Dongfeng Vigo if you want the lower entry cost, a 500-litre boot, 167-kW DC charging and stronger 3.3-kW V2L output.
Pick the Leapmotor B10 if you prioritise 434 km of range, 215 hp, rear-wheel drive and a multi-link rear suspension.
