Verdict
The iCaur 03 costs RM119,800, RM100 less than the Neta Neta X, and brings 181 hp, 220 Nm, 80 kW DC charging and a far stronger active-safety list. Its 65.69 kWh battery is larger, but the Neta travels 401 km against 355 km and carries 508 litres versus 264 litres. For Malaysian family use, that boot and range matter daily. Pick the iCaur if driver assistance, front parking sensors and ventilated seats outweigh the Neta’s practical advantage.
Pick the iCaur 03 if you want 181 hp, rear-wheel drive, 80 kW DC charging and autonomous braking with lane-keeping assist.
Pick the Neta Neta X if you need the longer 401 km range and a 508-litre boot for regular family luggage.
