Hyundai Kona EV Price in Nepal
About the Hyundai Kona EV
The Hyundai Kona EV sold in Nepal is a compact electric SUV with a strong local track record, a front-wheel-drive 100 kW motor, and a 39.2 kWh battery that gives it a practical city-and-highway range for daily Nepali use. In today’s Nepal lineup, the GL 100 kW and GLS 100 kW are both listed, with prices starting at Rs 59,96,000 and rising to Rs 64,96,000 for the top variant. The GLS adds a more premium equipment set without changing the core mechanical package.
Editorial overview compiled from official specs and Nepali/Indian auto sources · as of 17 Jul 2026.
Design & styling
The Kona EV stands out because it does not try to look like a conventional fuel SUV. Hyundai’s Nepal distributor describes it as a fully electric subcompact SUV with a closed front grille, concealed charge port, LED lighting, and a distinctly modern shape. In current Nepal-market form, the top-variant Electric GLS 100 kW keeps that same clean EV identity. The premium trim level is where the visible feature uplift is concentrated rather than in the basic body design.
Performance & drivetrain
The Nepal-spec Kona EV uses a 100 kW front-mounted electric motor and a 39.2 kWh lithium-ion polymer battery, so the driving feel is defined more by instant electric torque and easy urban pace than by outright speed. Hyundai and Nepali media sources quote a range of roughly 305 km on a single charge for this setup, and the car supports DC fast charging that can take the battery to 80% in about 54 minutes with a 100 kW charger. For Nepal buyers, that makes it well suited to Kathmandu commuting, intercity hops, and predictable home-or-office charging rather than long-distance use with no charging plan.
