BYD Seal 6 vs Neta Neta V
Verdict
At the same RM100,000, the BYD Seal 6 gives a Malaysian buyer more car for the money: a C-segment sedan body, 129 hp, 410 km range, six airbags and AEB. The Neta Neta V counters with a smaller B-segment hatchback footprint, but its 94 hp motor, 38.5 kWh battery, 120 km/h top speed and two airbags put it behind on paper. If space, safety kit and highway headroom matter, the BYD has the clearer brief.
Pick the BYD Seal 6 if you want the bigger EV with more power, longer range, a larger boot and stronger listed safety kit.
Pick the Neta Neta V if you want a shorter, narrower hatchback and can accept less power, less boot space and fewer airbags.
