What do these terms mean?
- Ex-showroom price
- The car's showroom price. Registration, number plate, vehicle tax, insurance and any dealer charges may be added to your bill.
- Variant / trim
- A version of the same car. Two versions can have different batteries, engines, safety equipment and prices. Match the version on your dealer's quote.
- Range
- The claimed distance on one full charge. Hills, speed, weather, passengers and air conditioning can change it. WLTP, NEDC and CLTC are different test methods, so their numbers are not directly comparable.

How should I compare these cars?
Compare the Nepal-market variant, warranty, service access, ground clearance and daily use. For EVs, check home charging and the stated range test cycle; advertised range is not a real-world guarantee.
Compare your shortlistHow do I check a monthly payment?
Use a loan estimate with your deposit, rate, fees and tenure. The calculator is an illustration; a lender must confirm eligibility and the final offer.
