Frequently asked questions
Which is cheaper to own over 5 years, the Leapmotor B10 or the MG S5 EV?
The Leapmotor B10 is £0 cheaper to buy. Running costs are almost identical - about £168 a year either way, at 8,000 miles on an off-peak home tariff. Add 5 years of charging and the two land within £120 of each other - effectively the same to own. These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.
What are the Leapmotor B10 and MG S5 EV like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 193 miles for the Leapmotor B10 and 208 miles for the MG S5 EV - effectively matched, and both well below their WLTP figures because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. A rapid charge to 80% takes around 20 minutes in the Leapmotor B10 and 28 in the MG S5 EV, so the Leapmotor B10 loses less time at each stop.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the Leapmotor B10 or the MG S5 EV?
The MG S5 EV is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 36 mm narrower than the Leapmotor B10. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 551 mm of total clearance for the MG S5 EV and about 515 mm of total clearance for the Leapmotor B10.

Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 90% battery health for the Leapmotor B10 and 84% for the MG S5 EV.
