Verdict
The Honda e:N1 costs RM149,900 against the Neta Neta X at RM119,900, and that RM30,000 gap buys a stronger drive: 201 hp/310 Nm, 0-100 km/h in 7.7 seconds, 11 kW AC charging, 78 kW DC charging and a fuller active-safety set. Range is basically a wash at 410 km versus 401 km. The Neta hits back with proper family-car space: 4,619 mm long, a 2,770 mm wheelbase and a 508-litre boot, plus a panoramic sliding sunroof and powered boot.
Pick the Honda e:N1 if you want the quicker EV with stronger safety kit, faster listed charging and the longer manufacturer warranty.
Pick the Neta Neta X if cabin space, boot capacity, lower price and comfort features matter more than acceleration and driver-assistance kit.
