Verdict
At RM125,800, the BYD Atto 3 costs RM5,900 more than the RM119,900 Neta Neta X, but brings a 201 hp/310 Nm motor, 7.3-second 0-100 km/h time and 110 kW DC charging. The Neta counters with a longer 2,770 mm wheelbase and a useful 508-litre boot, 74 litres more than the BYD. For Malaysian buyers who use public DC chargers or want active safety assistance, the Atto 3 earns its extra outlay; the Neta suits a lower-cost, luggage-led brief.
Pick the BYD Atto 3 if you want 201 hp, 110 kW DC charging and autonomous braking with adaptive cruise control.
Pick the Neta Neta X if you prioritise the lower entry price, a 508-litre boot and a longer 2,770 mm wheelbase.
