Equipment few rivals have, on either carShowHide
Drivetrain
The Leapmotor B10 uses a Electric producing 160kW and 240Nm of torque, sent through a automatic to a RWD layout. It covers the 0-100km/h sprint in 7.5 seconds.
The Suzuki Ignis responds with a Petrol making 66kW and 120Nm, paired to a cvt driving the front wheels. It gets to 100km/h in 12.8 seconds.
The Leapmotor B10 has the clear power advantage at 160kW vs 66kW. In the 0-100 sprint (manufacturer-claimed), the Leapmotor B10 is 5.3s quicker. For most buyers, the way each car feels day-to-day matters more than outright acceleration.
Space & Comfort
The Leapmotor B10 measures 4,515mm long on a 2,735mm wheelbase, 815mm longer than the Suzuki Ignis at 3,700mm (2,435mm wheelbase). The longer wheelbase on the Leapmotor B10 generally means more rear legroom.
Boot space is 490L in the Leapmotor B10 and 271L in the Suzuki Ignis, giving the Leapmotor B10 a 219L advantage.
Neither U-turns in one sweep on a 7 m local street (both need a three-point turn); the Suzuki Ignis's turning circle is 1.4 m tighter, 9.4 m against 10.8 m kerb to kerb. The street estimate is indicative, worked from the published turning circles.
Cost to own
At 15,000 km a year, electricity for the Leapmotor B10 costs about $826 a year (17.2 kWh/100km) and fuel for the Suzuki Ignis about $1,397 a year (4.9 L/100km), at $1.90 a litre and 32c a kWh.
Warranty: 6 years / 150k km (Leapmotor B10) and 5 years / Unlimited (Suzuki Ignis). Capped-price servicing: no data (Leapmotor B10), 5 years (Suzuki Ignis).
Where each one leads
The Leapmotor B10: more power (160kW against 66kW), the bigger boot with the seats up (490L against 271L) and the longer warranty (6 years against 5).
The Suzuki Ignis: nothing in the figures we hold puts it ahead of the Leapmotor B10.
The Verdict
Level: here's what splits them
The Leapmotor B10 (77) and Suzuki Ignis (70) are too close to call on the figures we hold. What splits them: performance (Leapmotor B10 ahead by 33 points), practicality (Leapmotor B10 ahead by 8 points). Boot space with the seats up: 490L in the Leapmotor B10, 271L in the Suzuki Ignis. Warranty: 6 years on the Leapmotor B10, 5 on the Suzuki Ignis.

How to read this page. Prices, specifications, ANCAP ratings, warranty, the CarSorted Score and the verdict come from our records for the grades shown, sourced from the manufacturers' Australian documents, and change when those records change; the date each was last checked is printed under the headline. Prices are recommended retail prices before on-road costs unless marked drive-away. A plug-in hybrid's fuel figure is labelled with its basis: with a full battery (the certified combined figure) or as a hybrid (battery depleted). Charging and running costs are estimates on the stated assumptions. Always confirm price and specification with the manufacturer or dealer before you buy. CarSorted does not accept payment for recommendations.
