iCaur V23 vs Neta Neta X
Verdict
At RM119,800 versus RM119,900, these two B-segment electric SUVs are split by just RM100, so the choice is not about price. The iCaur V23 has the larger 59.9 kWh battery, rear-wheel drive, auto emergency braking and a seven-year warranty, but it only seats four and has a small 234-litre boot. The Neta Neta X is the family-friendlier pick on paper: five seats, 508 litres of boot space, 401 km range and a quicker 9.5-second 0-100 km/h time.
Pick the iCaur V23 if you want the longer warranty, rear-wheel drive and auto emergency braking, and can live with four seats and a smaller boot.
Pick the Neta Neta X if you need five seats, a much bigger boot and the longer 401 km rated EV range.
