Verdict
At RM100,000 apiece, these EVs serve very different Malaysian jobs. The Atto 2 is the five-seat SUV, with 174 hp, 290 Nm and 345 km from a 51.1-kWh battery; it also gets 82 kW DC charging and a 360-degree camera. The two-seat Porta EV is 700 mm longer and 430 mm taller, rides on a 3,050-mm wheelbase and uses rear-wheel drive, but has 100 hp, 300 km range and no quoted charging rate. Its RM50 annual road tax undercuts the Atto 2’s RM120. For passengers and everyday driving, take the BYD; choose the Wuling when the commercial body is the priority.
Pick the BYD Atto 2 if you need five seats, 345 km of range, stronger 174-hp performance and substantially broader safety and convenience equipment.
Pick the Wuling Porta EV if a two-seat commercial body, rear-wheel drive, its 5,010-mm length and RM50 annual road tax suit your work better.
