Verdict
At just RM100 less, the Aion Y Plus is the sharper buy for Malaysian drivers who prioritise the electric fundamentals: its 201 hp motor, 63.2 kWh battery and 430 km range exceed the Neta Neta X’s 160 hp, 52.49 kWh and 401 km. It is also a second quicker to 100 km/h at 8.5 seconds and specifies 80 kW DC charging. The Neta counters with a useful 508-litre boot, 103 litres more than the Aion, multi-link rear suspension and more convenience equipment. Choose based on what carries more weight: driving range and warranty, or cargo room and cabin kit.
Pick the Aion Y Plus if you want 430 km of range, 201 hp and an eight-year/160,000 km vehicle warranty for RM100 less.
Pick the Neta Neta X if you need its 508-litre boot, multi-link rear suspension, powered boot and 18-inch wheels.
