Neta Neta X vs Suzuki Swift Sport

Neta Neta X

Neta Neta X

400 Comfort

Verdict

The Neta Neta X costs RM119,900 to the Suzuki Swift Sport’s RM130,900, and the RM11,000 gap buys far more family-car metal: a 2,770 mm wheelbase, 508-litre boot and 401 km EV range against 2,450 mm, 265 litres and petrol refuelling. Its 160 hp motor is well equipped for daily use, with a 360-degree camera, powered driver’s seat and panoramic sunroof. The Swift is the sharper choice for a driver, reaching 100 km/h in 8.0 seconds versus 9.5 seconds and topping out at 205 km/h rather than 150 km/h.

Neta X

Pick the Neta Neta X if you need five-seat SUV space, a 508-litre boot and 401 km of electric range for less money.

Swift Sport

Pick the Suzuki Swift Sport if quicker 8.0-second acceleration, a 205 km/h top speed and a compact hatchback matter more than space and EV running.
