Verdict
At RM116,800, the Chery O5 is RM3,100 cheaper than the RM119,900 Neta Neta X and brings a much fuller active-safety kit, including autonomous braking, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keeping assist and adaptive cruise control. Its 378-litre boot is modest beside the Neta’s 508 litres, however. The Neta is the EV choice: its 52.49-kWh battery claims 401 km of range, while its 3.3-kW V2L function can power external devices. For buyers without dependable charging, the O5’s 51-litre petrol tank and 1.5-litre turbo motor remain the simpler fit.
Pick the Chery O5 if active safety, a seven-year/150,000-km vehicle warranty and ventilated power-adjustable front seats matter more than EV driving.
Pick the Neta Neta X if you can charge regularly and want 401 km of claimed EV range, a 508-litre boot and substantially larger cabin dimensions.
