Neta has built its reputation as a budget-friendly NEV manufacturer, targeting the lower-end market with competitively priced vehicles.

While the Neta Aya represents Neta’s latest offering, the company also entered the premium segment with its flagship sedan, the Neta S, launched on July 31, 2022.

The company hasn’t provided a specific reason for the decline in deliveries, though the transition to the new Neta Aya model may have played a role.
