RAISED IN INDIA — BUT DOES NOT CARRY OVER TO NEPAL

Resale value, service and spare-part costs, warranty terms and charging coverage are set by each market — different duty, different dealer networks, a different used-car market. Read these as context on the vehicle's reputation, never as figures for Nepal.

  • Service experiences vary, with some owners reporting overcrowded service stations and long wait times.
  • Maintenance costs are considered mid-range, but some owners find spare parts to be costly and availability inadequate.

Owner satisfaction in India: 85/100. This is a reading of India owners only — it is not a Nepal sentiment score and is not counted in one. AI-compiled from publicly available owner discussion in India · confidence: high · as of 17 Aug 2026.
