Initial units of the Neta X have arrived at Port Klang for the Malaysian market, and the EV is set to be previewed at the Malaysia Autoshow that is due to take place at the end of May.
Arriving as the facelifted version of the Neta U, pre-bookings for the Neta X will be opened on May 6, and customers may place their pre-bookings online or at dealers in the authorised Neta network.
Early information indicates that the Neta X will come to the Malaysian market in two variants – the ‘400’ version with 401 km of battery range is estimated to be less than RM125k, and the ‘500’ version with 501 km of battery range – both on the more lenient CLTC testing standard – is estimated to be priced under RM140k.
Given its pricing estimate, the Neta X looks set to enter the market price-wise slotting in below the BYD Atto 3, which is priced at RM149,800 as of today’s update.
That said, the Neta X is notably larger than the Atto 3, measuring 4,619 mm long, 1,860 mm wide and 1,628 mm tall with a 2,770 mm wheelbase. The Neta X gets a single powertrain specification, with a front-mounted motor producing 163 PS and 210 Nm of torque, drawing from either a 51.8 kWh or 62 kWh battery.
The Neta range in Malaysia will be joined by models that will be locally assembled (CKD) at the upcoming Chembong assembly plant in Rembau, Negeri Sembilan. The Neta X and the Aya are scheduled to be assembled at this plant, with the Aya from March 2025 and the X from October in that year, with a total of 10,000 units to be built in the first year.
The first of two joint venture companies, NexV Manufacturing (NMSB) handles assembly and manufacturing, while the second, Intro Synergy (ISSB), takes care of distribution.

Better than Chery E5
Work harder to get a high grade seal. BYD is memang better than german luxury cars. Can easy smoke 911 on the road.
Better than Chery Omada E5
Other EV in MY market get ready for discount…
another China EV entering market…price war start soon
(Like) Neta X rm125k.
(Dislike) BYD Atto 3 RM149K
Another one. I wonder how many of these brands will still exist in 5 years and what will happen to the owners once the company disappears. Impossible to fix, sell or repair. Good luck, I rather buy a second hand Kia than a new Chinese car.
Yea you better buy kia, Kia is becoming a successful Korean company
Best to stick with reputable brands, for Chinese EV, those that will last are BYD, Omoda and the new Xiaomi car. The rest I am not so sure. Else go for hybrid car in Japanese brands.
Baik la. Beli ni Neta
Got axle problem?
Beautiful SUV. This is a lot better than Atto 3 and Omada E5. If they came with a better name brand, I will consider it. Neta sounds so cheap and ugly. Can’t think of a better brand name?
For the naive car buyers who got sold by flashy looks and gadgets.
Ini pakai battery apa? If BYD blade atau CATL then ok. Otherwise not reliable. From what I heard the boss of Careplus (glove maker) who brought in this car is a very calculative person. Sangat kedekut in real life. Mesti banyak cut corner bila pasang kat Malaysia. Not worth it. Better stick with big brands like BYD. BYD blade battery charge penuh hari hari pun tak degrade.
Cut corner? That’s my cue! Welding 2 titik
