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.
- Ground clearance
- The gap between the road and the lowest part of the car. For example, 180 mm is 18 cm. Passengers and luggage can reduce that gap.
- 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.
Citroën ë-C3
Rs 34,99,000
Base variant, which EV Nepal now calls the Live (we had it as the Feel). Shine variant Rs 35,99,000. Only one current source carries the base price and Shangrila Motors' own site was unreachable, so this is graded indicative until a second source or the distributor confirms it.

Consider the Citroën ë-C3 if
- its comfort, space and local service support suit you after a test drive. The comparable figures do not show a clear advantage for this version.
Consider the Leapmotor T03 if
- you want more engine or motor power — 38 hp more; compare performance on a test drive
- you want a larger battery — 8.1 kWh more storage; this alone does not prove a longer range

How to use this comparison
Use price to set your budget, then check the differences that matter for your daily trips. A larger battery, more power or a higher clearance figure alone does not make one car better for everyone. Check test methods before comparing range or safety ratings.
