Chery O5 vs Neta Neta X
Verdict
The Neta Neta X asks only RM3,100 more than the Chery O5, but changes the brief from petrol to electric. It is larger, with a 2,770 mm wheelbase and 508-litre boot against the Chery’s 2,630 mm and 378 litres, so rear-seat and luggage needs favour the Neta. The Chery fights back with a 7-year warranty, listed auto emergency braking and a petrol 1.5 litre drivetrain that avoids charging planning. Close call, but the better fit depends on how ready you are for EV ownership.
Pick the Chery O5 if you want the lower price, petrol refuelling, a 7-year warranty and listed auto emergency braking.
Pick the Neta Neta X if you want the bigger SUV with electric drive, 401 km range and a much larger boot.
