Verdict
At RM119,900, the Neta Neta X asks RM11,920 more than the RM107,980 Renault Captur, but it is the bigger, roomier car and the quicker one to 100 km/h. Its 160 hp/210 Nm motor, 401 km EV range and 508-litre boot make it suit buyers who can charge and want more cabin space. The Captur counters with a 120 hp/205 Nm 1.2 turbo petrol, 5.9 L/100 km rating, higher 192 km/h top speed and CKD Malaysia assembly, but its 377-litre boot and leaner kit list are clear limitations.
Pick the Neta Neta X if you can live with EV charging and want the larger body, bigger boot, quicker 0-100 km/h time and stronger cabin equipment.
Pick the Renault Captur if you want a cheaper petrol SUV with a higher top speed, a space-saver spare tyre and CKD Malaysia assembly.
