Verdict
The Mitsubishi Xforce costs RM109,980, RM9,920 less than the RM119,900 Neta Neta X, and its 1.5-litre petrol/CVT package keeps things familiar, with CKD Malaysia assembly and a five-year unlimited-mileage warranty. The Neta counters hard as an EV: 160 hp and 210 Nm beat the Xforce’s 104 hp and 141 Nm, while its 52.49 kWh LFP battery gives 401 km and RM100 road tax instead of RM120. It is also bigger, with a 2,770 mm wheelbase and 508-litre boot versus 2,650 mm and 410 litres. But the Xforce has blind-spot info and front parking sensors.
Pick the Mitsubishi Xforce if you want a petrol B-SUV with the lower price, CKD Malaysia assembly, blind-spot info and front parking sensors.
Pick the Neta Neta X if you can run an EV and want stronger outputs, more boot space, a longer wheelbase and richer cabin kit.
