Ex-showroom, KathmanduAll 2 trim prices verified 12 Oct 2026Comparing Standard Range vs Box E2 330 variants

The short answer

Dongfeng Nammi Box costs रु 10,16,000 less ex-showroom. Dolphin has 27.9 PS more power.

Choose the BYD Dolphin if

Dolphin has 27.9 PS more power.

This is the safest all-round Dolphin trim for most Nepal buyers because it keeps the core battery, range and motor while adding the better daily-use equipment. It is worth the price if you want a genuinely equipped city EV rather than the cheapest badge only.

Pros

Balanced price-to-equipment point.

Retains the same 340 km WLTP battery pack.

Better cabin tech and convenience than base trim.

Strong safety kit for the class.

Cons

Still expensive against smaller EV alternatives.

Climate controls and driver alerts are annoying in daily use.

Suspension/ride and small-car practicality remain hatchback-limited.

Fast-charging speed is only mid-pack for modern EVs.

Level 2 ADAS and 360° camera rare at this price.

Reasonable 330 km claimed range for daily city use.

8-year battery and motor warranty provides long-term peace of mind.

Cons

Smaller 31.4 kWh battery less suitable for frequent long highway trips.

Brand and service network still relatively new compared with established EV rivals.
