Our verdict

These two split the decision: the Dongfeng E-007 is रु 4,97,000 cheaper ex-showroom (8.3%), while the Hyundai KONA is ahead on dealer and service reach and torque — so the answer depends on which of those you are buying for.

Choose the Dongfeng E-007 if
  • the ex-showroom price is your binding constraint
  • you want the bigger pack for range headroom
  • you want the stronger powertrain for hill climbs and overtaking

Measured: 17.6 kWh more battery capacity; 81.5 PS more power.

Choose the Hyundai KONA if
  • you want servicing within reach of where you live
  • you drive loaded, or climb steep gradients often
  • you want a dealer close enough to visit and negotiate at

Measured: 16 more service centres in Nepal (35 vs 19); 85 Nm more torque; 19 more showrooms in Nepal (81 vs 62).

Every figure in this verdict is computed from the table below — the same ex-showroom prices, variant specifications and Nepal service network the page publishes. Nothing here is an estimate, and where a figure is missing on one side the axis is left out rather than guessed.
