Mitsubishi Xpander vs Neta Neta V
Verdict
At RM99,980 against RM100,000, this is not a price fight. The Mitsubishi Xpander is the family tool: seven seats, a 495-litre boot, 2,775 mm wheelbase and a 1.5 litre petrol engine with 104 hp. The Neta Neta V is the EV play, with a 38.5 kWh battery, 380 km range, RM50 road tax and a smaller 4,070 mm footprint. Both get two airbags and a five-year warranty, so the choice is really space and petrol versus electric running and easier parking.
Pick the Mitsubishi Xpander if you need seven seats, a larger 495-litre boot and the familiarity of a 1,499 cc petrol MPV.
Pick the Neta Neta V if you want an electric hatchback with 380 km range, RM50 road tax and a smaller city-friendly body.
