Leapmotor B10

Leapmotor B10

Verdict

At RM108,888, the Dongfeng Vigo is RM1,088 dearer than the RM107,800 Leapmotor B10, yet it brings a 500-litre boot, 380 km EV range and a quoted 167 kW DC charging rate. The B10 counters with 215 hp and 240 Nm against 161 hp and 230 Nm, reaching 100 km/h in 9.3 seconds versus 9.5 seconds. Its 56.2-kWh battery and 11 kW AC charging also suit home or workplace top-ups, while its longer wheelbase and multi-link rear suspension are meaningful hardware advantages. The Vigo is the more practical choice if boot space, range and DC charging matter most.

B10

Pick the Leapmotor B10 if you want 215 hp, 11 kW AC charging, rear-wheel drive, a multi-link rear suspension and more cabin technology for less money.
