Verdict
The Nissan NV200 costs RM79,800, RM20,200 below the Wuling Porta EV, and remains the simpler petrol choice with a 55-litre tank, 5MT and 4,200-litre load space. The Porta EV counters with a 41.9-kWh battery, 300-km range and 180 Nm motor torque, against 152 Nm from Nissan’s 1.6-litre petrol four. It is much longer at 5,010 mm versus 4,400 mm, but brings stability control, hill-start assist and a reverse camera. Its RM50 annual road tax undercuts the NV200’s RM120. For urban routes within its stated range, the Wuling’s extra outlay buys useful driver aids and electric propulsion.
Pick the Nissan NV200 if you need the lower RM79,800 entry price, a 4,200-litre load space and the flexibility of a 55-litre petrol tank.
Pick the Wuling Porta EV if a 300-km claimed range, 180 Nm motor torque, stability control and a reverse camera suit your delivery runs.
