Verdict
At RM118,800, the Omoda Jaecoo J5 EV costs RM10,200 less yet brings a 130 kW DC charging rate, 480-litre boot and 3.3 kW vehicle-to-load supply. Its 402 km range is only 18 km behind the Leapmotor C10’s 420 km, though the C10 is the more substantial family SUV: 359 mm longer, with a 205 mm longer wheelbase, 215 hp, 320 Nm and a marginally quicker 7.5-second 0-100 km/h time. The C10 also gets seven airbags, but the J5 EV counters with a longer seven-year/150,000 km vehicle warranty and 10-year/200,000 km battery cover.
Pick the Omoda Jaecoo J5 EV if faster 130 kW DC charging, a larger 480-litre boot and RM10,200 in savings matter more than rear-wheel drive and a larger cabin footprint.
Pick the Leapmotor C10 if you want the larger D-segment body, 2,825 mm wheelbase, rear-wheel drive and slightly stronger 215 hp/320 Nm output.
