Priced the same as the better-equipped XPRES-T EV trim but with fewer confirmed convenience features, this trim mainly makes sense for institutional/taxi buyers who prioritize the taxi-approval status over cabin tech Private buyers wanting PEPS, voice control, or remote AC should default to the XPRES-T EV trim instead, since price is identical Not a value pick if convenience features matter, given no price advantage over the more feature-rich trim

Pros
Same 24 kWh battery, 48 kW motor, and 40-min DC fast charge / 12.5-hr AC charge specs as the top trim, so running-cost and charging benefits are identical
Nepal retail price is directly confirmed at Rs 3,849,000 via the official distributor site, removing pricing ambiguity
Explicitly documented as an approved taxi model in Nepal, which matters for buyers targeting the Kathmandu EV-taxi market
Core safety kit present: dual airbags, ABS, EBD, ISOFIX with top tether, and iTPMS
Same 3993 mm length, 1677 mm width, and 2450 mm wheelbase as the flagship trim, so cabin/boot space for taxi duty is unchanged
Cons
At the identical Rs 38.49 lakh price, this trim's listed spec omits Smart Key PEPS, voice recognition, steering-mounted controls, and remote AC via app that the XPRES-T EV trim carries
No mention of Regen Level Gauge or selectable Gear Modes in the documented spec, unlike the top trim
DRL, ORVM auto-folding, and specific tyre size are not listed for this trim, unlike XPRES-T EV
Same affordability complaints apply: buyers call the ~38 lakh price a multi-year income burden, especially for taxi drivers
Battery replacement cost and resale value concerns raised by owners apply equally here since the battery is unchanged
