You prefer its body style, brand or dealer near you — the numbers are close.

Strong safety, decent real-world WLTP range, and rich feature set make the single C10 BEV variant good value for families seeking a premium electric SUV in Nepal. Price is high versus smaller mainstream EVs, but justified for buyers prioritizing space, safety and long-term usability over rock-bottom upfront cost.

Pros

Excellent safety package with 6 airbags, advanced ADAS and 5-star NCAP ratings.

Solid 69.9 kWh LFP battery delivering 420 km WLTP, suitable for intercity use.

Comfortable, tech-rich cabin with large screens and modern convenience features.

Fast DC charging 30–80% in 30 minutes plus V2L functionality adds practicality.

Cons

Only one Nepal-spec variant and powertrain choice; limited customization for buyers.

Boot space 435 L is adequate but not class-leading for a mid-size SUV.

Service and charging network for a new Chinese brand is still relatively small in Nepal.

Price near 72 lakh puts it up against established EV brands with stronger brand recognition.
