Leapmotor B10 vs Proton eMas 7 PHEV

Proton eMas 7 PHEV

Proton eMas 7 PHEV

Verdict

For Malaysian buyers able to charge regularly, the Leapmotor B10’s 67.1-kWh battery and 434-km EV range make it the more convincing electric daily driver than the Proton eMas 7 PHEV’s 18.4-kWh pack and 83 km. Its 11-kW AC charging and seven airbags add practical appeal, although its V2L output is lower at 1.7 kW. The Proton is quicker to 100 km/h at 8.0 seconds, has a 528-litre boot and a 51-litre petrol tank, so it asks fewer questions of buyers making longer trips without dependable charging.

Pick the Leapmotor B10 if you can charge at home or work and want 434 km of EV range, 11-kW AC charging and a seven-airbag count.

eMas 7 PHEV

Pick the Proton eMas 7 PHEV if you want the quicker 8.0-second sprint, a 528-litre boot and petrol-backed flexibility beyond its 83-km EV range.
