Verdict
The RM24,000 step from the RM69,999 Perodua QV-E FWD (BAAS) to the RM93,999 Perodua QV-E FWD (with battery) does not buy extra range, power or equipment. Both have a 52.5 kWh battery, 370 km range and a 201 hp, 285 Nm front motor. At RM215 a month for nine years, the BAAS plan adds RM23,220, bringing its stated nine-year outlay to RM93,219—just RM780 below the battery-included car. Pay less upfront with BAAS; buy the battery outright if avoiding a nine-year monthly commitment matters more.
Pick the Perodua QV-E FWD (BAAS) if a RM69,999 entry price and the slightly lower stated nine-year outlay suit your budget.
Pick the Perodua QV-E FWD (with battery) if you want the battery included and no RM215 monthly rental commitment for nine years.
