In the 100,000-150,000 RMB price range for household pure electric SUVs, the 2025 Leapmotor B10 and the 2026 Geely Galaxy E5 are two of the hottest models currently on the market, with monthly sales approaching 10,000 units each, making them "popular choices" for families. Today, we will provide a detailed comparative analysis based on the latest product information and industry trends, covering key aspects such as price, configuration, design, safety, and intelligence, to help you find the most suitable vehicle.
Both the 2025 Leapmotor B10 and the 2026 Geely Galaxy E5 are precisely positioned in the mainstream 100,000-150,000 RMB market, and the mid-range models compared here both have a suggested retail price of 119,800 RMB, making them direct competitors.
2025 Leapmotor B10 (510 LiDAR version): Suggested retail price of 119,800 RMB. Currently, there is usually a 5,000 RMB discount available, along with a lifetime warranty for the first owner and a free charging pile, making the actual purchase cost more attractive.
2026 Geely Galaxy E5 (530km Explorer version): Suggested retail price of 119,800 RMB, attracting users with Geely's strong brand reputation. However, compared to the Leapmotor B10, the terminal benefits and discounts are relatively standard.
Summary: From the perspective of direct purchase cost and long-term warranty, Leapmotor B10's current market strategy is more aggressive and practical, providing consumers with more direct benefits.
2.1 Power and Range
Both vehicles are equipped with a 160 kW motor, but there are fundamental differences in their drive systems. The Leapmotor B10 uses a rear-wheel drive layout, which theoretically offers higher transmission efficiency and more driving fun, especially in cornering; the Geely Galaxy E5 uses front-wheel drive, a more common and reliable solution in this segment. In terms of pure electric range, the Galaxy E5's 530km is slightly higher than the Leapmotor B10's 510km, but the difference is only 20km, which is insignificant in daily commuting scenarios.
Notably, the Leapmotor B10 also offers a 600km long-range version at the same price point, while the Galaxy E5 requires an additional budget of approximately 6,000 yuan to obtain a longer range (such as the 600km version).
2.2 Battery and Electronic Control
Both vehicles use batteries from mainstream domestic brands, with mature and reliable technology. Consumers should not be overly concerned about a single battery brand, but rather focus on the overall integration capabilities of the three core electric vehicle technologies. For example, the Leapmotor B10 is equipped with a super-integrated thermal management module, which helps optimize actual power consumption and improve energy efficiency.
Body Dimensions: The Geely Galaxy E5 has a clear advantage in terms of length, width, and height, giving it a more imposing appearance.
Space Utilization ("Space Efficiency"): Although the Leapmotor B10 has slightly smaller external dimensions, its high "space efficiency" of 87.4% is a highlight. This means that it has optimized the interior space to the extreme, resulting in excellent actual passenger space (especially rear legroom and headroom), truly achieving the "small size, large space" goal for family use. In addition, its interior features a large area of soft-touch materials, providing a premium feel and enhancing the sophistication and comfort of the cabin.
Summary: If you prioritize a larger external size, the Galaxy E5 is a good choice; if you value spaciousness and comfort in the actual passenger compartment, the Leapmotor B10 is a better option.
This is the area where the two cars differ most significantly, reflecting the different understandings of future technology routes by different car manufacturers.
Intelligent Cockpit: Both cars are equipped with advanced voice assistants (such as those integrated with mainstream DeepSeek models), continuous voice recognition, and "what you see is what you can say" functionality. The core difference lies in the pre-installed hardware: The Leapmotor B10 is equipped with the top-of-the-line Qualcomm 8295P in-car chip, providing ample computing power for continuous system upgrades over the next 5-8 years of vehicle use, ensuring the in-car system remains "always up-to-date." The Geely Galaxy E5 uses the Longying No. 1 chip, which meets current needs, but its long-term upgrade potential is relatively limited.
Intelligent Driving Assistance: Although both are rated as L2 level, the hardware and achievable functions are vastly different.
The Leapmotor B10 is equipped with sensing and computing hardware including a 128-line LiDAR and a Qualcomm 8650 intelligent driving chip, enabling advanced high-speed and urban navigation assistance (such as automatic lane changes, on- and off-ramp assistance), memory parking, and other functions. Its future capabilities can be further unlocked through OTA updates.
The Geely Galaxy E5 mainly relies on a single camera and can only achieve basic L2 functions such as ACC adaptive cruise control and lane keeping.
Summary: If you are a user who values cutting-edge technology, expects your vehicle to continuously evolve, and desires higher-level assisted driving, the Leapmotor B10's pre-installed hardware provides technological assurance for the next few years. If your intelligent driving needs are at a basic level, the Galaxy E5 will suffice.
Considering the current trends in the automotive industry and the background of mandatory national standards such as the "Safety Requirements for Combined Driving Assistance Systems for Intelligent Connected Vehicles," vehicles with more powerful sensing hardware (such as LiDAR) theoretically have higher recognition capabilities, redundancy, and active safety protection limits in complex scenarios. When choosing a car, consumers should pay attention to whether the vehicle is equipped with basic safety features such as AEB and lane departure warning, and understand the underlying hardware support.
Through the above multi-dimensional comparison, the characteristics of the two cars are very clear:
Choose the 2026 Geely Galaxy E5 if you are:
A traditional brand loyalist: You value Geely's long-standing brand endorsement and service system.
A steady and practical person: You are more sensitive to external dimensions and traditional mainstream configurations, and do not have strong demands for cutting-edge advanced intelligent driving features. Basic Experience Satisfiers: Those whose needs for in-car infotainment and driver assistance systems are limited to currently sufficient and stable levels.
Choose the 2025 Leapmotor B10 if you are:
Technology Enthusiasts and Forward-Thinking Users: You value the vehicle's full-stack self-developed capabilities and cutting-edge intelligent hardware (8295P + LiDAR + 8650 chip), and believe in the future of software-defined vehicles.
Space Efficiency Prioritizers: You are extremely concerned about the actual riding comfort and space utilization for your family members.
Value and Experience Balancers: You hope to obtain a comprehensive value experience within a limited budget, including better handling (rear-wheel drive), richer benefits (lifetime warranty), and greater long-term upgrade potential.
You recognize the rapid growth of new energy vehicle brands. Leapmotor's achievement of delivering one million vehicles in ten years and nearly 540,000 vehicles delivered in 2025 (January-November data) demonstrates its stable system capabilities and market recognition.
In the highly competitive 100,000-150,000 RMB pure electric SUV segment, both the 2025 Leapmotor B10 and the 2026 Geely Galaxy E5 have delivered excellent results. The Galaxy E5 is like a steady "all-rounder," performing well in brand, size, and basic experience; while the Leapmotor B10 is like a "specialist," showcasing superior advantages and forward-thinking capabilities in intelligent hardware, space efficiency, and driving pleasure. The final choice depends on whether you view car ownership as a purchase to meet current needs or a long-term investment in future mobility.
