The Neta Aya small electric SUV launched in China with up to 95 hp, 401 km of range and a starting price tag of 73,800 yuan (10,300 USD). It is a facelift of the well-known Neta V electric vehicles that sells not only in China but also in Thailand. Let’s get to know the Aya better.
About Neta Aya
As mentioned, the Neta Aya is a facelift of the Neta V. Frankly saying, its exterior design hasn’t got a lot of changes. We can highlight the more aggressive front bumper with a bigger trapeze-shaped air intake. From the back, the Aya has a single taillight unit and slightly adjusted rear bumper. Speaking about the dimensions of the Neta Aya, they are 4070/1690/1540 mm with a wheelbase of 2420 mm. So, they weren’t changed.
The interior of the Neta Aya continues the design language of the Neta V. It has the same two-spoke ‘sporty’ steering wheel, a portrait-oriented 14.6-inch screen, a thin 12-inch instrument panel and minimalistic styling. But it has a noticeable change. It is the new black-white color scheme. Previously, the Neta V had only black and pink interior shades. It is interesting that the Aya adopts the MT8675 chip from MediaTek. Its performance is similar to the 8155 processor from Qualcomm.
The Neta Aya has two powertrain versions. The first one is represented by a 40-kW (54 hp) electric motor and an LFP battery from Guangxi Ningfu for 318 km of range (CLTC). Here, we will mention that previously Neta V used LFP and NMC batteries from CATL, the top-tier battery manufacturer in China. As for the Guangxi Ningfu, it is a relatively young company that was launched in 2021. So, it looks like a step backwards for Neta.
The second powertrain version of the Neta Aya has a 70-kW (95 hp) electric motor and an LFP battery from SVOLT for 401 km of CLTC range. Here, we will mention that the SVOLT is a relatively well-known battery maker. So, it will be a solid choice to buy the Aya with a bigger battery from the supplier with more extensive experience in the sphere.
Neta Aya trims and prices
The Neta Aya has four trim levels. The first one is called 318 Lite. Its price tag reaches 73,800 yuan (10,300 USD). For this price tag, you get 185/65 R15 steel rims, front airbags, rear parking radars, rear-view camera, cruise control, halogen headlights and 4 speakers. The second trim level of the Neta Aya (called 318) has a sticker price of 78,800 yuan (11,000 USD). It has R15 aluminum rims, a wireless phone charging pad, in-car karaoke, heated side view mirrors, a rain sensor, and LED headlights.
The third and fourth trims of Neta Aya are called 401 Lite and 401 have the same functions as 318 Lite and 318, respectively. The 401 Lite costs 84,800 yuan (11,850 USD), and the 401 costs 88,800 yuan (12,400 USD). They can also be bought with the extra package for 4,000 yuan (560 USD) that adds L2 self-driving system with ACC, AEB, etc. Moreover, the extra package adds front heated seats. The Neta Aya has become 15,000 yuan (2,100 USD) cheaper than the Neta V. So, it has become much more desirable.
