Petaling Jaya, 12 July 2024 – In a strategic expansion of its ecosystem business model, CARSOME, Southeast Asia’s largest integrated car e-commerce platform, made its debut in the new car sales market with the listing of the new NETA X Electric Vehicle (EV). This partnership with NETA Auto Malaysia also establishes CARSOME as the official trade-in partner for the EV brand in Malaysia.

The partnership was sealed earlier today by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in conjunction with CARSOME Autofair at its flagship experience center, PJ Automall. This collaboration marks a significant milestone for CARSOME as it expands its ecosystem to include new car sales, reflecting its commitment to diversifying its offerings and enhancing the car-buying experience for customers.

As part of the collaboration, NETA will be able to complement its existing dealers' network by leveraging CARSOME’s extensive online platform and customer base, allowing NETA to strengthen its digital footprint.

The NETA X is celebrated for its spaciousness, comfort, and safety features. With the largest dimensions in its segment, it stands out as a leader in size. Additionally, it excels in intelligence, equipped with Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (L2 ADAS) functions, enhancing both convenience and safety for drivers.

The MOU was signed by NETA’s Exclusive Distributor, Intro Synergy Sdn Bhd’s (ISSB) Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Mr. Farok Maasom, and CARSOME’s Group President and Chief Operating Officer (COO), Mr. Eric Chan, witnessed by Dato’ SM Azli SM Nasimuddin Kamal, the Executive Chairman of ISSB and CARSOME Co-founder, Chairman, and Group CEO, Mr. Eric Cheng.

“With the NETA X EV listing on our platform and the partnership with NETA, CARSOME is making a strategic entry into the EV and new car market, underscoring our commitment to providing sustainable and innovative automotive solutions.

“By partnering with NETA, we can cater to a new segment of buyers looking for high-quality, sustainable transportation options. This partnership not only diversifies our offerings but also enhances the car-buying experience, offering exclusive deals and comprehensive trade-in options that meet the evolving needs of our customers, ” said CARSOME Co-founder, Chairman, and Group CEO, Mr. Eric Cheng.

"We are thrilled to collaborate with CARSOME, a leader in the car e-commerce space. This partnership allows us to reach a broader audience and offer our innovative NETA X EV to a new segment of environmentally conscious customers. With CARSOME's robust online platform and extensive customer base, we are confident that this collaboration will significantly enhance our market presence and drive the adoption of electric vehicles in Malaysia," said Intro Synergy Sdn Bhd Chairman, Dato SM Azli.

Customers can explore the new NETA X model through CARSOME’s online platform and app, where they can place bookings seamlessly. Additionally, they can visit CARSOME’s PJ Automall, where dedicated NETA customer consultants will assist them throughout their purchase journey. This weekend, visitors to the Autofair in PJ Automall will have the opportunity to view NETA’s range of EVs up close, including the flagship NETA V, NETA X, and NETA GT models.

CARSOME is also offering an exclusive RM1,500 incentive for customers who trade in their old car when purchasing a new NETA vehicle. NETA’s official service centers will manage after-sales support for NETA vehicles, ensuring top-notch service and support post-purchase.

NETA V vehicles are also available on CARSOME's platform, and customers can take advantage of the special loyalty program, which offers a reward amounting to RM23,300, inclusive of a wall box or charging credit priced at RM1,500. This promotion ends on 31 July 2024.
