Verdict
At RM118,800, the Leapmotor B10 undercuts the RM122,409 Mazda CX-30 by RM3,609, while bringing a 215 hp, 240 Nm rear motor, 67.1 kWh battery and 434 km range. Its RM200 annual road tax is also RM239 lower. The Mazda counters with a 162 hp 2.0-litre petrol engine, 6.4 L/100 km rating and a 196 km/h top speed versus 170 km/h. Both carry five and have a 430-litre boot, but the B10 is roomier in every exterior dimension and far better equipped for driver assistance.
Pick the Leapmotor B10 if you can charge an EV and want 434 km range, lower road tax, more cabin footprint and active safety kit for less money.
Pick the Mazda CX-30 if you want petrol refuelling, a 196 km/h top speed, a space-saver spare wheel and a head-up display.
