MG ZS EV vs Neta Neta X
Verdict
These are both CBU, front-driven B-segment electric SUVs with five seats, single motors, six airbags and a 5-year warranty, but they split clearly. The MG ZS EV costs RM126,629 and is the quicker car, with 174 hp, 0-100 km/h in 8.0 seconds and a 170 km/h top speed. The Neta Neta X costs RM119,900, yet gets the bigger 52.5 kWh battery, longer 401 km range, much longer 2,770 mm wheelbase and 508-litre boot. If daily kilometres and cabin room matter more, the Neta has the numbers.
Pick the MG ZS EV if you want the stronger, quicker EV and value its listed auto emergency braking.
Pick the Neta Neta X if range, rear-seat space and boot capacity matter more than acceleration.
