Verdict
At the same RM100,000, the BYD Atto 2 feels like the heavier hitter: a B-segment SUV with 174 hp, 7.9-second 0-100 km/h pace, a 51.1 kWh battery, 380 litres of boot space, six airbags and AEB. The Neta Neta V is a B-segment hatchback with 94 hp and a smaller 38.5 kWh battery, but its 380 km range beats the Atto 2’s 345 km, and its annual road tax is RM50 instead of RM120.
Pick the BYD Atto 2 if you want more power, more boot space and the stronger safety spec on paper.
Pick the Neta Neta V if your priority is the longer quoted range and lower annual road tax at the same RM100,000 price.
