Verdict
At RM118,800 against RM113,800, the Leapmotor B10 costs RM5,000 more but brings a 67.1-kWh battery, 434 km EV range and 215 hp motor. It is also the larger SUV, with a 2,735-mm wheelbase and 430-litre boot, while adding blind-spot monitoring, steering-correction lane keeping and adaptive cruise control. The Nissan Kicks e-Power counters with lower RM85 annual road tax, 280 Nm from its motor and a 41-litre fuel tank. For a Malaysian buyer able to charge regularly, the B10’s extra space and EV range make the stronger case.
Pick the Leapmotor B10 if you can charge an EV and want 434 km of stated range, a larger body and more driver-assistance equipment.
Pick the Nissan Kicks e-Power if lower purchase cost and RM85 annual road tax matter more, and you prefer its 41-litre petrol tank.
