The past week (or months) hasn’t been kind to Neta. In China, Neta is facing severe financial difficulties and has reportedly stopped production at its Yichun and Nanning plants. It received some reprieve when the Chinese state-owned Nanning Industrial Investment Group stepped in to provide financial support. Just as Neta found life support, it was torpedo-ed by ASEAN NCAP’s test results for the Neta V, which earned tragically comedic ‘Zero Star’ rating. As a Global NCAP-affiliated organization

If you take out the Toyota Veloz, which is essentially a Perodua Alza with a different badge, the Mitsubishi Xpander is the segment’s only other option. Despite being locally assembled in Pekan, the Xpander has a starting price of RM 99,000, which is still RM 4,000 more than the Rawang-made
