About the Kaiyi e-Qute 04 EV

The Kaiyi e-Qute 04 is a compact, purpose-built electric hatchback designed to navigate the dense urban landscapes of Nepal with efficiency and ease. It combines a practical, city-friendly footprint with a modern electric powertrain, positioning itself as a compelling entry point for those transitioning to electric mobility.

Editorial overview compiled from official specs and Nepali/Indian auto sources · as of 13 Oct 2026.

Design & styling

The e-Qute 04 features a contemporary, rounded hatchback silhouette that prioritizes urban maneuverability. Its exterior is defined by clean lines and modern touches, such as concealed electric door handles that provide a sleek, minimalist aesthetic. The vehicle sits on a compact frame, making it well-suited for navigating narrow city streets and fitting into tight parking spaces common in Nepal.

Performance & drivetrain

At the heart of the e-Qute 04 is a front-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor delivering 40 kW of power and 110 Nm of torque. This setup is paired with a 28.08 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery, which provides a claimed range of approximately 300 kilometers on the CLTC cycle. The vehicle is designed for city speeds, with a top speed of 100 km/h, and supports both AC and DC fast charging for added convenience.

Interior, features & practicality

Inside, the cabin is designed to maximize space, comfortably seating passengers while offering flexible cargo solutions like flat-folding rear seats. The top-variant interior is equipped with a central LCD touchscreen that supports smartphone integration, including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, alongside a multi-speaker audio system. Safety is a core focus, with the vehicle featuring dual airbags, ABS with EBD, electronic stability control, and ISOFIX child seat anchors.

Ownership in Nepal — price positioning, running cost & who it suits

The Kaiyi e-Qute 04 is currently available in Nepal at an ex-showroom price of Rs 25,96,000. As an electric vehicle, it offers significantly lower running costs compared to traditional internal combustion engine cars, making it an attractive option for daily commuters and small families looking to reduce their fuel expenses. Its compact dimensions and efficient electric powertrain make it an ideal choice for urban dwellers who prioritize ease of parking and low-maintenance city driving.

Verdict

The Kaiyi e-Qute 04 stands out as a well-rounded urban EV that balances essential modern features with a practical, efficient design. While it is clearly optimized for city environments rather than long-distance highway travel, its combination of safety technology, connectivity, and competitive pricing makes it a strong contender in the growing Nepali electric vehicle market.
