Deepal Nevo Q05 Arrives in Nepal at Rs 46.99 Lakh
New Launch
MAW Vriddhi has launched the Deepal Nevo Q05 in Nepal, bringing a new compact electric SUV to the Rs 45–55 lakh segment. It gets a 51.9 kWh LFP battery, 120 kW motor, fast charging and a technology-heavy cabin. Here is what is confirmed for Nepal.
Deepal is expanding its range in Nepal once again. MAW Vriddhi has launched the Nevo Q05 as its newest and most affordable Deepal offering, placing it below models such as the S05 and directly into one of Nepal's most competitive EV price brackets.
The Q05 is being offered in two variants, Max and Ultra. At the NADA Auto Show, the introductory prices are Rs 46.99 lakh and Rs 49.99 lakh respectively. After the introductory period, the standard prices are Rs 48.99 lakh for the Max and Rs 51.99 lakh for the Ultra.
Price
The NADA pricing makes the Q05 particularly interesting at launch, with the Max coming in below the Rs 50 lakh mark. The standard prices are Rs 48.99 lakh and Rs 51.99 lakh once the introductory pricing ends. Confirm the current showroom price and any applicable NADA offer with MAW Vriddhi before booking.
The specs that matter
The Nepal-spec Q05 gets a 51.9 kWh LFP battery paired with a 120 kW electric motor. The motor produces 163 hp and 190 Nm of torque, with power sent to the front wheels. Deepal claims a 0 to 100 km/h time of around 8.2 seconds.
For range, the Nepal-specification figure is up to 462 km on the NEDC cycle. You may also see higher range figures quoted for the Q05 internationally, including CLTC figures, but those use a different and generally more optimistic testing cycle. For NepalRoads, the 462 km NEDC figure is the one that matters for the Nepal-spec car.
Charging is one of the Q05's biggest strengths. It supports up to 162 kW DC fast charging, with a claimed 30 to 80 percent charging time of around 15 minutes under suitable conditions. It also supports 7 kW AC charging, with a full charge taking around eight hours.
Design, space and tech
The Q05 measures 4,435 mm long, 1,855 mm wide and 1,600 mm tall, with a 2,735 mm wheelbase. That gives it the footprint of a compact SUV while leaving a fairly generous amount of room inside, particularly for rear passengers.
The 540-litre boot is another useful number for families. The Q05 is designed to be more than just a city runabout, with enough luggage space for everyday family use and longer trips.
Inside, the dashboard is dominated by a 14.6-inch central touchscreen alongside a 10.17-inch digital instrument cluster. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included, while other features include a built-in dashcam, Bluetooth key access, OTA updates and wireless charging.
The Q05 also gets a panoramic glass roof, ventilated front seats and reclining rear seats, giving the cabin a more premium feel than its price positioning might suggest.
Safety and driver assistance
The Q05 comes with a strong list of safety and driver-assistance equipment for this price range. Nepal-market information lists six airbags, a 540-degree surround-view camera and a range of ADAS functions. These include adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning and traffic-jam assistance.
There is one thing to keep in mind here. The exact equipment can vary between the Max and Ultra variants, so buyers should check the Nepal-spec equipment list for the specific variant they are considering. There is also no confirmed NCAP crash-test rating that NepalRoads should assign a star score to at this point.
Where it fits, and who it's for
The Q05 lands right in one of Nepal's busiest EV segments, around the Rs 45–55 lakh mark. Its compact dimensions make it suitable for city use, while the long wheelbase, 540-litre boot and fast charging give it enough practicality for family and highway use.
The honest read: the Q05's biggest strengths are its combination of price, space, charging speed and technology. The 162 kW DC charging capability is particularly impressive on paper, while the 51.9 kWh LFP battery and 462 km NEDC claim give it a useful range advantage for everyday driving. The real question will be how that range translates to Nepal's hills, traffic and frequent air-conditioning use, and how well MAW Vriddhi supports the car over the long term.
It also arrives with some momentum behind it internationally. Changan says the Q05 crossed 100,000 cumulative sales in China in August 2026, giving the model a meaningful track record before its Nepal launch.
For buyers considering an electric SUV around Rs 50 lakh, the Nevo Q05 is definitely one to look at. It is compact enough for Kathmandu, spacious enough for a family and has the charging hardware to make longer trips less stressful. Whether it becomes one of the segment's best buys will ultimately come down to real-world range, after-sales support and how the two variants are priced and equipped once the introductory offer ends.
