Kia Soul EV costs रु 1,99,000 less ex-showroom. Soul EV has 10 PS more power.
S05 Plus offers strong range, modern tech and a proven CATL battery at a mid-upper EV price, suiting buyers wanting a premium-feeling compact SUV without stretching to European brands. The recent price hikes narrow its value edge over rivals, but it remains compelling for those prioritising range and fast charging over ultimate cabin luxury.
EX I offers the Soul EV experience at lower cost than EX II, but its 212 km range and older tech feel modest for 56 lakh. It suits urban users prioritizing brand reliability and upright design over latest long-range EVs. As a legacy EV in Nepal’s market, it is now better value as a discounted or used purchase than at full ex-showroom price.
