Verdict
At just RM200 apart, these EVs serve radically different jobs. The RM100,000 BYD Atto 2 is the private-use choice: its 174 hp and 290 Nm motor, 345 km range and five-seat cabin make the Wuling Porta EV’s 101 hp, 180 Nm, 300 km and two seats look work-focused. The Porta’s 6.5 m3 cargo bay and 1,165 kg payload are the reason to buy it, not passenger comfort. The Atto 2 also brings six airbags, 82 kW DC charging and a 3.3 kW V2L function, while the Porta cuts annual road tax from RM120 to RM50.
Pick the BYD Atto 2 if you need a five-seat electric SUV with 345 km range, stronger 174 hp performance and substantially broader safety equipment.
Pick the Wuling Porta EV if your priority is a CKD electric commercial vehicle with 6.5 m3 of cargo space, a 1,165 kg payload and RM50 annual road tax.
