Neta Neta V vs Toyota Veloz
Verdict
The Neta Neta V asks RM100,000, so it is RM5,000 dearer than the Toyota Veloz, but the choice is really EV hatchback versus petrol seven-seat MPV. The Neta gets a 38.5 kWh battery, 380 km range and a 335-litre boot, useful if you can live with five seats. The Veloz is larger in every key dimension, seats seven, and has the stronger safety sheet: six airbags, AEB and a five-star ASEAN NCAP rating. For family duty, Toyota has the clearer brief.
Pick the Neta Neta V if you want an electric five-seat hatchback with 380 km range, a 38.5 kWh battery and the bigger 335-litre boot.
Pick the Toyota Veloz if you need seven seats, the larger MPV body and safety kit that includes six airbags, AEB and a five-star ASEAN NCAP rating.
