Verdict
At RM100,000 apiece, these EVs serve very different Malaysian jobs. The BYD Atto 2 is the five-seat B-segment SUV: its 174 hp and 290 Nm motor, 51.1 kWh battery and 345 km claimed range make it the more rounded private-car choice. It also brings six airbags, 82 kW DC charging and a 360-degree camera. The Wuling Porta EV is a two-seat commercial vehicle with rear-wheel drive, a 5,010 mm body and lower RM50 annual road tax. Choose it for its working format, not for passenger carrying or equipment depth.
Pick the BYD Atto 2 if you need five seats, 345 km of claimed range and substantially stronger 174 hp performance.
Pick the Wuling Porta EV if a two-seat commercial body, 5,010 mm length and RM50 annual road tax suit your business use.
