Verdict
At RM119,900, the Neta Neta X costs RM6,100 more than the RM113,800 Nissan Kicks e-Power, but brings a 52.49-kWh battery, 401-km EV range and 508-litre boot. It is also 235 mm longer with a 97 mm longer wheelbase. The Kicks counters with a 280-Nm motor, seven airbags, autonomous braking and collision warning; both reach 100 km/h in 9.5 seconds. Pick on use case: the Neta suits drivers who can charge and want electric range, while the Nissan carries a 41-litre petrol tank.
Pick the Neta Neta X if you want 401 km of EV range, a 508-litre boot and a roomier 2,770-mm wheelbase.
Pick the Nissan Kicks e-Power if you prioritise seven airbags, autonomous braking and collision warning for RM6,100 less.
