What is the price of a Nissan Leaf in Nepal?

As of 2026, the Nissan Leaf (around 40 kWh variant) is officially listed at about Rs 64.99 lakh in Nepal, though it's best to check with Nissan Nepal for the latest offers and variants.

What owners actually said

Every line below says which it is. A quote is somebody's own words on the platform named. A summary is ours, drawn from published coverage — and never put inside quote marks.

“6 million price tag vehicle, comes without a reverse camera and sensor as standard. God bless we Nepalese!”

Owner’s own wordsYouTube comment

“1. Lowest ground clearence among EVs in Nepal 2. No parking sensors 3. No reverse camera 4. No touchscreen (Android auto and apple carplay) 5. Basic 300ish range 6. Interior doesn’t seem to impress. 7. Quite expensive also I think MG Zs EV or lower varient of kona EV is better than this.”

“155 is very low ground clearance, not good for Nepal's road. I don't recomend this one.”

“Many people say Leaf is a good car but for this much money in Nepal you can get Chinese EVs with more range.”

Owner’s own wordsFacebook

“Range is okay for daily Kathmandu use but I wouldn’t risk long highway trips without checking fast chargers first.”

Price, service, resale and roads — here

  • Official Nissan Leaf price is around Rs 64.99 lakh in Nepal for the 40 kWh version as of 2026, putting it above many Chinese EVs of similar size
  • Owners and commenters worry about ground clearance on broken rural roads and tall speed bumps in Kathmandu and Pokhara
  • Most charging for Leaf owners is expected to be at home or office; highway fast‑charging between major cities like Kathmandu–Pokhara is improving but still sparse
  • Resale value is uncertain because EVs are new in Nepal and many buyers prefer cheaper Chinese alternatives with longer range
  • Authorized Nissan dealers in Nepal provide EV service, but EV‑trained technicians and spare parts are still fewer than for petrol models
  • Official price about NPR 6,499,000 ex-showroom
  • Depreciation ~ 15%/year reported in Nepal
  • Range and charging infrastructure important concerns

What owners rate

  • Nepali EV market is growing
  • Nissan brand holds significance in Nepal
  • Very low running cost compared to petrol SUVs in Kathmandu traffic
  • Comfortable, quiet cabin and smooth acceleration for city use
  • Enough real‑world range for daily office commute inside and around Kathmandu

  • Zero road tax and lower EV customs duties relative to similar ICE cars
  • 100% electric powertrain

What they complain about

  • High price for features offered
  • Low ground clearance not suitable for Nepal roads
  • Lack of standard features like reverse camera and sensors
  • High purchase price versus Chinese and Korean EVs with bigger batteries
  • Ground clearance and low front bumper can scrape on bad village roads and big Kathmandu speed breakers
  • Limited fast‑charging options outside major cities makes long highway trips difficult
  • Concerns about long‑term battery health and replacement cost in Nepal conditions
  • Official service network for EVs is still limited and many local garages lack Leaf expertise

This bit doesn't carry over

Owners abroad rate this car's resale, warranty and service cost on their own market's terms. None of that applies here — different duty, dealer network and used market. It is shown separately and never counted above.
