In the concept art of NETA X, the design philosophy of "Confidence in Motion" is carried forward, reflecting an overall sharp and aggressive body design. The concept showcases a strong emphasis on high-tech aesthetics, setting the tone for NETA X's futuristic appeal. The muscular lines rising along the hood, combined with the large ventilation openings on both sides, form the distinctive "X" shape, ensuring a unique and recognizable identity.

Although positioned as an SUV, the vehicle's side profile boasts fluid lines, exuding a sense of dynamism. The roofline displays a sense of motion, complemented by the upward-sloping rear design and subtle aerodynamic features. The contouring of the side waistline serves to enhance the visual appeal, with its line changing and transitions adding to the overall sporty aesthetic. The pronounced front and rear fender designs, while possibly exaggerated in the concept stage, hint at the sporty and wide-bodied elements NETA X aims to convey in its final form.

NETA Auto currently offers a range of four models, including the NETA S, the NETA GT, the NETA U-II, and the NETA AYA, covering segments such as sedans, two-door sports cars, compact SUVs, and small-sized crossovers. However, a noticeable gap exists in the mid-size SUV category. Industry experts predict that NETA X will fill this void.
