Electric Cars Launched at NAIMA 2026
Chery: the new name everyone queued for
- A brand-new entrant. Chery entered Nepal with the Q, a compact electric SUV priced from Rs 30.99 Lakh.
- Only the first 100 buyers get that price. After them it returns to the regular Rs 34.49 to 35.99 Lakh, so the early-bird saving is up to Rs 3.5 Lakh.
Tata: four EVs and the first shot in the price war
- The biggest single-brand EV drop of the show. Tata launched four electric cars at once, covering Rs 28.99 to 56.99 Lakh.
- The New Tiago EV set the floor. At Rs 28.99 Lakh it is the cheapest electric car launch of NAIMA 2026.
- The Punch EV 2026 broke the facelift rule. Bigger 30 and 40 kWh batteries, more power, yet up to Rs 3 Lakh cheaper than the old model.
- The Nexon K3 and Curvv EV cover the upper rungs. A Rs 48.99 Lakh Nexon and a Rs 56.99 Lakh coupe SUV flagship.

The Story of the Show
When the doors opened at Bhrikutimandap, two stalls stood completely empty. Hongqi and Arcfox had their teams ready, but their display cars were trapped behind a landslide on the Tatopani road. Here is how the show unfolded:
- Hongqi launched from an empty stall. With its car stuck in transit, the team went ahead anyway and launched the E-HS4 at Rs 57.99 Lakh.
- The Arcfox T1 is still on the road. Expected at Rs 40 to 45 Lakh once stock finally arrives.
- Tata fired the first shot in the price war. The New Tiago EV at Rs 28.99 Lakh is the cheapest electric car launch of the show.
- Chery paid buyers to be early. The first 100 Chery Q buyers pay Rs 30.99 Lakh instead of the regular Rs 34.49 Lakh, a Rs 3.5 Lakh reward for queueing first.
- BYD went the other way. The Atto 3 Superior became more than Rs 10 Lakh pricier overnight with its facelift.
- The crowds trusted the old names. The longest queues were at Toyota, BYD, MG and Hyundai, not the newcomers.
- Money was ready at the door. Banks at the venue offered 60 percent financing on the spot, with show-only discounts and booking gifts stacked on top.

NAIMA Nepal Mobility Expo 2026: full buyer's guide
The NAIMA Nepal Mobility Expo 2026, organised by the Nepal Automobile Importers and Manufacturers Association, is Nepal's largest vehicle showcase of the year. Four-wheelers from 29 brands and two-wheelers from 18 brands were on display, with vehicles priced from about Rs 18 Lakh to nearly Rs 4 Crore. Banks at the venue offered financing with 40 percent down payment, and many brands announced expo-only discounts, cashbacks and gift schemes for bookings made during the show.
The clearest theme of the expo was the price war in electric cars. Tata repositioned its whole EV range: the New Tiago EV facelift now starts at Rs 28.99 Lakh, the Punch EV 2026 starts at Rs 32.99 Lakh with a bigger 40 kWh option, the Nexon K3 EV brings six airbags and a 360-degree camera at Rs 48.99 Lakh, and the Curvv EV coupe tops the lineup at Rs 56.99 Lakh.
