Verdict
At RM132,780, the iCaur V23 asks RM12,880 more than the RM119,900 Neta Neta X, but brings 208 hp, AWD and a 7.5-second 0-100 km/h time against 160 hp, FWD and 9.5 seconds. Its 81.76-kWh battery adds only 29 km of claimed range, at 430 km, yet its 104-kW DC figure is a useful advantage. The Neta Neta X counters with five seats and a 508-litre boot versus four seats and 234 litres, so it is the more sensible family load-carrier. Choose based on performance and safety assistance versus cabin practicality.
Pick the iCaur V23 if you want AWD, 208 hp, a 104-kW DC charging rate and active safety systems including autonomous braking and lane-keeping assistance.
Pick the Neta Neta X if five seats, a 508-litre boot, rear air-con vents and a panoramic sliding sunroof matter more than outright performance.
