Verdict
At RM118,800, the Omoda Jaecoo J5 EV is RM1,100 cheaper yet brings 208 hp, 288 Nm and a 7.7-second 0-100 km/h time, against the Neta Neta X’s 160 hp, 210 Nm and 9.5 seconds. Its 130 kW DC and 11 kW AC charging ratings also give it the clearer charging case, while Level 2+ ADAS materially strengthens the safety kit. The Neta counters with a 2,770 mm wheelbase and 508-litre boot, useful for family load space, but its lower RM100 annual road tax is its clearest running-cost win.
Pick the Omoda Jaecoo J5 EV if you want faster performance, 130 kW DC charging and a far fuller active-safety suite.
Pick the Neta Neta X if a 508-litre boot, 2,770 mm wheelbase and lower RM100 annual road tax matter more than acceleration and ADAS.
