Verdict
At RM119,900, the Neta Neta X costs RM14,203 less than the RM134,103 Peugeot 2008, while bringing a 52.49-kWh battery, claimed 401-km range and a 508-litre boot. It is also 319 mm longer with a 165 mm longer wheelbase, so it has the stronger practicality case. The Peugeot fights back with 230 Nm, a 199 km/h top speed and a much fuller active-safety list, including pedestrian-detecting autonomous braking. Choose the Neta for EV ownership and space; choose the Peugeot if those driver-assistance systems matter more.
Pick the Neta Neta X if you want a 401-km EV with a 508-litre boot, V2L and RM14,203 left in your pocket.
Pick the Peugeot 2008 if you prioritise pedestrian-detecting autonomous braking, blind-spot monitoring and lane-keeping steering correction.
