Rs 32.49 lakh to Rs 36.49 lakh ex-showroom · ev · updated July 17, 2026
Dongfeng Nammi 01 arrives in Nepal as a modern, city-focused electric hatchback that aims to make daily commuting cleaner, quieter and far more feature-rich than most rivals in its price band. With two battery sizes, multiple motor tunes and a generous equipment list especially on the top E3 Dual Tone 70 kW variant, it targets buyers who want an EV that feels genuinely premium yet remains attainable and easy to live with on Nepali roads and charging infrastructure. Compared with similarly priced small EVs and compact petrol hatchbacks, the Nammi 01 stands out for its balanced range, strong safety kit and tech-laden cabin, making it one of the most convincing electric family runabouts currently on sale here.
The Dongfeng Nammi 01 sold in Nepal is a compact electric hatchback with a clean, rounded silhouette that clearly signals it is a modern EV rather than a converted petrol car, helped by its short overhangs and upright stance that work well on tight city streets and narrow gallies. At around 4.0 metres long and 1.81 metres wide, it has a planted, wide-bodied look similar in footprint to many popular B-segment hatchbacks, but with slightly more height to improve visibility and headroom. The top E3 Dual Tone 70 kW variant adds contrasting roof paint over brighter body colours, alloy wheels and more distinctive trim, so if you want the Nammi 01 to look special in Kathmandu traffic this is the one that visually pops the most. The front gets a closed-off EV grille and slim lighting elements, while the rear uses simple horizontal lamps and a clean tailgate, giving the car a friendly, approachable character that should appeal to younger urban buyers and small families.
In Nepal, the Nammi 01 is offered with two battery packs: a 31.4 kWh LFP unit in the E2 variants and a larger 42.3 kWh LFP pack in all E3 variants, giving WLTP-certified ranges of about 237 km and 317 km respectively on a full charge, which is ample for daily Kathmandu–Bhaktapur–Lalitpur running and occasional out-of-valley trips with planning. Power comes from permanent magnet synchronous motors with either 50 kW or 70 kW outputs depending on variant, and the E3 Dual Tone 70 kW sits at the top of the range with the stronger motor and bigger battery, making it the most effortless option for highway overtakes and steep hill climbs. Published figures from Nepali auto media suggest a top speed around 130–140 km/h and a 0–100 km/h time under 9 seconds for the 70 kW configuration, so performance is more than adequate for Nepal’s road conditions and traffic, even when the car is loaded with five people. Both E2 and E3 support DC fast charging and standard AC charging, with local reports indicating roughly 30 minutes to go from about 30% to 80% on a fast charger, which fits well with the growing CCS-equipped public charging network on major corridors and in city centres.
Inside, the Nammi 01 offers a surprisingly upscale cabin for an affordable EV, with a simple horizontal dash, a large central touchscreen and a digital-style driver display that make it feel more like a mini premium EV than an entry-level hatchback. The top E3 Dual Tone 70 kW variant is particularly feature-rich according to Nepali coverage, with a big infotainment screen (around 12.8 inches in many specs), wireless phone charging, automatic parking assist, Auto Hold and ventilated memory seats, all of which are not commonly found at this price in Nepal and are highlighted as headline equipment on the top variant. Space-wise, the Nammi 01’s roughly 4030 mm length and generous width allow genuine five-seat accommodation for typical Nepali family use, with enough rear legroom and headroom for adults and a usable boot for daily shopping and short holidays, making it more practical than many ultra-compact EVs that have reached our market. Safety equipment is another strong point, with multiple airbags and electronic stability aids reported for the Nammi 01, and when combined with the car’s elevated seating and good outward visibility, it gives buyers more confidence on crowded city roads and unpredictable rural stretches than older small hatchbacks.
The Nammi 01 range in Nepal is structured to cover a spread of budgets while keeping choice simple, with your catalog listing eight current variants: E2 Single Tone 70 kW at Rs 32,49,000; E2 Single Tone 50 kW at Rs 32,49,000; E2 Dual Tone 50 kW at Rs 32,99,000; E2 Dual Tone 70 kW at Rs 32,99,000; E3 Single Tone 50 kW at Rs 34,79,000; E3 Dual Tone 50 kW at Rs 35,29,000; E3 Single Tone 70 kW at Rs 35,99,000; and the top E3 Dual Tone 70 kW at Rs 36,49,000, giving buyers a clear ladder from value-focused to fully loaded. This places the Nammi 01 against other small EVs and higher-end petrol hatchbacks and compact crossovers, and for many urban and semi-urban households the combination of range, equipment and warranty makes it look compelling compared with similarly priced conventional cars that still face high fuel and maintenance costs. EV-focused outlets in Nepal note annual road tax and insurance for the Nammi 01 are moderate, and with LFP batteries known for durability plus an 8-year/160,000 km warranty on battery and motor in our market, long-term running costs should remain far lower than equivalent petrol cars as long as basic charging discipline is followed. The car best suits city and ring-road commuters, ride-share drivers who need a comfortable and tech-rich cabin, and small families wanting an EV that can realistically handle both daily trips and occasional longer drives, rather than just being a short-range city toy.
For Nepal, the Dongfeng Nammi 01 hits a sweet spot between size, usable range, performance and features, especially in the fully loaded E3 Dual Tone 70 kW variant that showcases just how premium a subcompact EV can feel without crossing into luxury-car prices. The two-battery, two-motor strategy lets buyers choose between outright value or maximum capability, and the car’s practical dimensions, growing charging support and strong warranty coverage ease many of the usual worries Nepali buyers have about shifting from petrol to electric. It is not a rough-road SUV and will still be limited by ground clearance and hatchback proportions on very bad rural tracks, but for the way most private cars are actually used in Kathmandu valley and other major cities, the Nammi 01’s quiet performance and well-equipped cabin make a strong case against both small ICE rivals and other compact EVs. For anyone ready to make their first move into electric ownership yet unwilling to compromise on comfort, tech and real-world range, the Nammi 01 deserves a serious look and a thorough test drive across your usual routes.
