Verdict
For a Malaysian buyer needing one car to cover family duties, the Neta Neta X is the more practical choice: its 2,770 mm wheelbase and 508-litre boot dwarf the Suzuki Swift Sport’s 2,450 mm and 265 litres, while rear air vents and a panoramic sliding sunroof strengthen its case. Its 160 hp motor delivers a claimed 401 km range from a 52.49 kWh battery, but the 970 kg Swift is quicker to 100 km/h at 8.0 seconds versus 9.5 seconds and reaches 205 km/h. Choose space and EV use, or choose the lighter, faster hatchback.
Pick the Neta Neta X if you need five-seat SUV space, a 508-litre boot and 401 km of claimed electric range.
Pick the Suzuki Swift Sport if you want the quicker 8.0-second 0-100 km/h hatchback with a 6AT and paddle shifts.
