Our verdict

These two split the decision: the GAC Aion Y is रु 6,46,000 cheaper ex-showroom (11%), while the Hyundai KONA is ahead on claimed range and dealer and service reach — so the answer depends on which of those you are buying for.

Choose the GAC Aion Y if
  • the ex-showroom price is your binding constraint
Choose the Hyundai KONA if
  • you drive long intercity stretches between charges
  • you want servicing within reach of where you live

Measured: 46 km more claimed range; 32 more service centres in Nepal (35 vs 3); 78 more showrooms in Nepal (81 vs 3).

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.
