Verdict
The GAC Emkoo costs RM123,800 to the Leapmotor B10’s RM118,800, but the RM5,000 gap brings a 638-litre boot against 430 litres, a quicker 8.8-second 0-100 km/h time and a head-up display. It is also 165 kg lighter. The B10 answers with a 67.1-kWh battery, 434 km EV range and lower RM118,800 entry price, although its annual road tax is RM200 versus RM120. For a Malaysian buyer without charging access, the petrol Emkoo is the more practical fit; for an EV buyer, the B10 is the cheaper route in.
Pick the GAC Emkoo if you need the 638-litre boot, quicker 8.8-second sprint and petrol power without relying on charging.
Pick the Leapmotor B10 if you want a RM118,800 EV with 434 km of quoted range, rear-wheel drive and a 67.1-kWh battery.
