Official pricing of the NETA X B-segment electric SUV has been announced, starting at Bt739,000 for the Comfort variant and Bt799,000 for the Smart variant.
The launch event was held at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center (QSNCC) and represents the second model launch from the NETA brand after the NETA V-II electric city car in March.
NETA has already sold 17,000 electric cars in Thailand, said Shu Gangzhi, general manager of NETA Auto (Thailand) Co Ltd.
“The debut of NETA X today will not only strengthen the company’s business plan in Thailand and we aim to improve the brand’s image by continuously unveiling attractive new models equipped with advanced technology,” he said.
“NETA is committed to providing Thai motorists with affordable electric vehicles that incorporate cutting-edge technologies,” Shu added.
The NETA X is powered by a 163-horsepower electric motor driving the front wheels and comes with two battery sizes. The 51.8kWh lithium-ion battery in the Comfort variant provides a driving range of 401kms NEDC (315kms WLTP) while a larger 62kWh battery in the Smart variant can power the car 480kms NEDC (377kms WLTP) per charge.
According to NETA, the battery has an IP68 rating for dust and waterproofing which is highest in the market. The company even put together a waterproof display at QSNCC with the battery and electric motor being submerged in 30cm of water for 30 hours.
Acceleration from 0-100km/h is claimed at 9.5 seconds for both variants, which come with ADAS 2.0 package. There are 11 sensors around the vehicle plus a radar system providing functions such as adaptive and intelligent cruise control with traffic jam assist, lane change assist and blind spot warning.
Thanks to a wheelbase of 2.77 meters, there is plenty of space inside the cabin, along with a luggage capacity of 508 liters, which is expandable to 1,388 liters with the rear seat backrest folded.
Up to 80 per cent of the cabin comes with soft touch materials and there are 24 multi-purpose compartments located inside the NETA X. The panoramic glass sunroof also contributes to an airy cabin atmosphere.
Apart from wireless phone charging, there’s also a V2L function allowing users to power up various electrical equipment. A large 15.6-inch high-res center screen comes with music streaming and a remote application allows the driver to monitor vehicle status in real-time.
NETA is also offering a special package for buyers which includes a free wallbox charger, three years free car internet and five years of free emergency service.
There’s a 5-year/150,000km warranty while the battery comes with an 8-year/180,000km warranty, which can be topped up to lifetime with a Bt39,800 NETA Care Package.
