Verdict
At RM125,800, the BYD Atto 3 costs RM5,900 more than the Neta Neta X, but its 201 hp/310 Nm motor cuts 0-100 km/h to 7.3 seconds against 9.5 seconds. Its 60.48 kWh battery also gives a claimed 420 km range, 19 km beyond the Neta Neta X’s 401 km, and it accepts 110 kW DC charging. The Neta Neta X counters with a 508-litre boot and 50 mm longer wheelbase. For Malaysian buyers carrying luggage often, that extra space matters; for highway charging and driver assistance, take the BYD.
Pick the BYD Atto 3 if you want 201 hp, 110 kW DC charging and autonomous braking with lane-keeping assist.
Pick the Neta Neta X if a 508-litre boot, 2,770 mm wheelbase and longer 180,000-km battery warranty matter more than outright pace.
