The Wuling Eksion tops our ranking of 13 electric SUVs under Rs 60 lakh with 61.1 points, just ahead of the Changan Nevo Q05 (60.7) and the MGS5 EV (57.4), which is also the cheapest way in at Rs 43.99 lakh.
Rs 60 lakh buys a lot of electric SUV in Nepal in 2026 (the full EV price in Nepal list shows every model). Our catalogue has 18 electric SUVs whose cheapest version has an official price at or under Rs 60,00,000, from Chinese, Indian, Japanese, Korean and British-badged brands. This guide ranks them with a simple formula that you can check and redo yourself.
Every price is the indicative ex-showroom price on the official site (checked October 2026). Registration, road tax and insurance come on top; see our guide to road tax and insurance. This is a ranking of published numbers, not a road test. We have not driven these cars, and the formula cannot measure comfort, build quality or after-sales service.
How we ranked them
We score each SUV out of 100 using the cheapest version priced at or under Rs 60 lakh, because that is what the starting price buys.
| Criterion | Points | How it is scored |
|---|---|---|
| Price | 30 | The cheapest SUV in the group gets 30, the dearest gets 0, and the rest in proportion |
| Battery size (kWh) | 30 | The biggest battery gets 30, the smallest gets 0, in proportion |
| Claimed range (km) | 20 | The longest claim gets 20, the shortest gets 0, in proportion |
| Battery warranty (years) | 20 | 20 × years ÷ 8; 0 if no warranty is published on the Nepal site |
For example, the MGS5 EV's price score: the group's prices run from Rs 43.99 lakh to Rs 57.99 lakh, so its Rs 43.99 lakh earns the full 30. A car at Rs 50.99 lakh, halfway along, would earn 15.
Why battery size gets more weight than range. Brands quote range on different tests: WLTP, the gentler NEDC, India's MIDC, or no named test at all. These numbers are not directly comparable, and we score them at face value, which flatters the gentler tests. Battery capacity in kWh is the same on every test, so it is the fairer measure of how much energy you are buying. That is why it gets 30 points and range gets 20.

Why warranty is scored on battery years only. The battery is the most expensive part of an EV. Some brands publish long whole-car cover too (BYD, for example), and that is noted in the text below rather than in the score.
Who is left out. An SUV is ranked only if its Nepal site publishes both a battery size and a range. Missing data is not filled in from other countries.

*Changan Nepal's warranty page lists 8 years / 2,40,000 km for the battery as Changan's original manufacturer warranty, alongside both its Nevo and Deepal models. Its wording refers to Deepal EVs, so confirm that the Nevo Q05 gets the same terms. The Omoda and Jaecoo figures come from SPG's warranty page, which states the original warranty as 8 years / 1,80,000 km for the battery. Both distributors also sell paid extended warranties through insurers; those are not counted here.
Why the top five rank where they do
Wuling Eksionरु ५७.९९ लाख
Changan Nevo Q05रु ४८.९९ लाख – रु ५१.९९ लाख
MGS5 EVरु ४३.९९ लाख – रु ५५.९९ लाख
iCaur V23रु ५३.९९ लाख
Jaecoo J5रु ५६.९९ लाख1. Wuling Eksion: the biggest battery
At Rs 57.99 lakh the Eksion is among the dearest here, so it scores nothing on price. It makes up for that with the largest battery in the group (69.2 kWh), a WLTP range claim and an 8-year battery warranty. It is also the only seven-seater in the group (Wuling calls it "5+2"), with six airbags and a 360° camera listed. Wuling Nepal does not publish its ground clearance. We compare it with other seven-seaters in our guide to Wuling vs MG seven-seaters.
2. Changan Nevo Q05: balanced on paper
The Q05 sits in the middle on price, battery and range, and gets full warranty points. Its 462 km range is an NEDC figure, which is optimistic next to WLTP, so its range score is flattered. Changan Nepal does not publish ground clearance or boot space for it.
3. MGS5 EV: the cheapest way in
The MGS5 Comfort is the cheapest SUV in the group at Rs 43.99 lakh. Its battery and WLTP range are on the small side, but both figures are clearly labelled. It is also one of the few here that publishes boot space (453 litres) and ground clearance (175 mm). MG's general vehicle warranty is 1 year, with 8 years / 1,50,000 km on the battery and, per MG's warranty page, 5 years / 1,50,000 km on the drive motor. The Luxury 62 kWh version (Rs 55.99 lakh, 430 km WLTP) is also under Rs 60 lakh.
4. iCaur V23: big battery, high clearance
The V23 has a 59.93 kWh battery and lists 210 mm of ground clearance, the highest published figure in this group. Its 401 km range comes with no test named, so treat it as a brand claim.
5. Jaecoo J5: long range claim, no test named
The J5 shares its 58.9 kWh battery size with the Omoda E5 but claims more range (461 km). Neither figure has a named test. Omoda Jaecoo Nepal's site warns that some specifications may differ in Nepal, so confirm them at the showroom. All five models are laid out in our Omoda and Jaecoo price guide.
Notes on the rest
- Deepal S05 loses points on price, since it is joint dearest at Rs 57.99 lakh, despite a long NEDC range claim.
- Suzuki e-Vitara: the Delta (49 kWh) is scored. The Zeta, with 61 kWh and a 543 km claim, costs Rs 57.99 lakh and would score higher on battery and range. Suzuki Nepal states 8 years for the battery, but its kilometre figure is printed ambiguously, so ask.
- Leapmotor B03X: Rs 44.99 lakh is a launch offer price; the page also shows an MRP of Rs 46.99 lakh. Its WLTP range is clearly labelled. Leapmotor Nepal's warranty page covers the B10, C10 and T03 but not the B03X, so it scores 0 for warranty. Ask for the terms in writing.
- BYD ATTO 2 has the smallest battery and range in the group, which pulls its score down. However, BYD Nepal states 6 years / 1,50,000 km for battery and vehicle, much longer whole-car cover than most rivals, and it lists 200 mm of ground clearance. The Premium version (Rs 48.99 lakh) has a 51.13 kWh battery and 345 km WLTP.
- Mahindra BE 6 has the longest range claim, but it is on India's MIDC test, and no warranty is published on Agni Mahindra's site, so it scores 0 on warranty. It lists 207 mm of ground clearance and seven airbags. See our BE 6 vs XEV 9e comparison.
Under Rs 60 lakh but not ranked (missing data)
| SUV | Starting price | What is missing on the Nepal site |
|---|---|---|
| Dongfeng Nammi Vigo | Rs 37,99,000 | Range (battery is 51.87 kWh; 8 yr / 2,00,000 km battery and motor warranty) |
| Kaiyi X3 Pro EV | Rs 45,96,000 | Battery size (range 370 km NEDC) |
| Mahindra XUV400 | Rs 52,50,000 | Battery and range for the priced version |
| Leapmotor B10 | Rs 54,99,999 (offer) | Battery and range |
| Hyundai Kona Electric | Rs 59,96,000 | Range (battery is 39.2 kWh) |
The Vigo is the cheapest electric SUV in our catalogue and has a strong published warranty. If Dongfeng Nepal publishes its range, it would likely enter this ranking. Check the model pages for updates.
What the formula cannot tell you
- Real-world range. Expect less than any claim on hills, at highway speed, with a full car or the air conditioning on.
- Space. Few of these brands publish boot space or rear legroom. Sit in the back and look in the boot.
- Service and parts. Ask how many service centres the brand has near you, and whether battery repairs are done in Nepal.
- Charging. Check the AC charging speed against your home connection; our EV charging guide explains what to ask NEA.
To work out monthly costs, use the EV vs petrol cost calculator and the EMI calculator. Private car loans are capped at 60% of the price (auto loan guide). To put two finalists side by side, try Eksion vs Nevo Q05 in our compare tool, or browse the full SUV price list. If your budget is lower, see the best electric cars under Rs 40 lakh.
We will re-run the scores when prices or published specifications change.
