New 2026 Leapmotor B10 Vs 2026 MG S5 EV a compact electric SUV Comparison

This is a comparison between two new compact electric SUVs, the #Leapmotor-B10 and the #MG-S5-EV. Both vehicles are recent additions to the growing electric vehicle market and compete closely on price and segment.
The #Leapmotor-B10 aims to compete aggressively on price and offers strong base equipment, a large screen, and a modern 800V platform (in certain trims) with a very high peak DC charging rate.
The #MG-S5-EV offers a more performance-focused variant with notably higher torque, a marginally larger boot, a strong safety rating, V2L, and a generally better WLTP range in its Long Range variant.
The choice largely depends on whether you prioritize the potential for ultra-fast charging and keen pricing (#B10) or faster acceleration and a higher reported range (#S5-EV).
Summary
The #Leapmotor-B10 enters the market as a compelling value proposition, undercutting the #MG on price while offering a more advanced 800V architecture (enabling faster DC charging) and a larger battery option with potentially more range. Its top-spec model includes high-end features like ventilated seats.
The #MG-S5 EV's strength lies in its proven RWD layout (offering a sportier feel), its more mature and well-regarded chassis tuning for country roads, and the inclusion of wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto at launch. It offers a slightly smaller package and lower overall power output in the Australian spec.
