Verdict
At RM118,800, the Omoda Jaecoo J5 EV undercuts the RM119,900 Neta Neta X by RM1,100 yet brings 208 hp and 288 Nm against 160 hp and 210 Nm, a 7.7-second sprint and 130 kW DC charging. Its 402 km range is only 1 km ahead, so range is not the deciding factor. The Neta X counters with 150 mm more wheelbase, 28 litres more boot space and navigation. For most Malaysian buyers, the J5 EV’s stronger safety kit, faster charging and longer warranty matter more.
Pick the Omoda Jaecoo J5 EV if you want 208 hp, 130 kW DC charging, Level 2+ ADAS and a seven-year vehicle warranty for RM1,100 less.
Pick the Neta Neta X if rear-cabin proportions, its 508-litre boot and built-in navigation take priority over performance and driver-assistance equipment.
