Chinese carmaker Neta’s entry into Malaysia is led by the Neta V, which is currently the cheapest electric vehicle with a retail price of RM99,800 on-the-road without insurance. The Neta V is just one of a few models that have been confirmed for our market, as local distributor Intro Synergy has said we will also be getting the Neta U and Neta S.
Design-wise, the Neta S features dual-tier lighting setup that consists of slim upper DRLs positioned above the main headlamps. The front end also sports a wide lower intake and faux corner intakes, while along the sides, you’ll find flush door handles and gullwing doors for front occupants. As for the rear, it has full-width taillights, a lip spoiler and a large black panel in the lower apron.
Keep in mind that this unit was brought in from China for preview purposes and is not reflective of local specifications. This is evident not just by the display language of the infotainment system, but also by the charging port used. As for the pure EV options, two battery chemistries are available with varying capacities, including lithium iron phosphate and ternary lithium-ion packs.
