The **Deepal Nevo Q05 compact electric SUV has now launched in Nepal through MAW Vriddhi, with sales beginning in two variants – Max and Ultra – at introductory NADA Auto Show prices of Rs 46.99 lakh and Rs 49.99 lakh respectively, rising to Rs 48.99 lakh and Rs 51.99 lakh** after the show.
Cabin and soft-touch materials
Deepal is positioning the Nevo Q05 as “a class above” by using soft-touch materials on around 80% of the cabin surfaces. Buyers get a noticeably plush feel on the dashboard, door panels, armrests and other areas that hands regularly touch in daily use. This helps the Q05 feel more refined inside and also contributes to a quieter, more cohesive cabin ambience, with neat stitching and uniform seat finishing supporting the premium impression.
Comfort and design highlights
Beyond materials, the Q05 focuses on everyday comfort with reclining rear seats, a 9-layer seat structure and a practical 4.43-metre compact SUV footprint that should be easy to live with in city traffic and tight parking spaces. On the design side, the model has already been recognised with a Golden A’ Design Award, while features such as two-way ambient lighting, balanced golden body proportions and Star-Ring Matrix LED tail-lights underline its premium look.
Battery, range and charging
The Nepal-spec Deepal Nevo Q05 uses a 51.9 kWh LFP battery and a front-mounted 120 kW electric motor, with a claimed 462 km NEDC range. Fast charging is a key part of the pitch: the battery is engineered for up to 5,000 charging cycles, and DC fast charge can take it from 30% to 80% in about 15 minutes under suitable conditions, making it more convenient for highway top-ups.
Deepal also equips the Q05 with 18 advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) functions, enhancing safety and driver support. A 5-year or 150,000 km vehicle warranty is offered in Nepal, which should reassure buyers planning long-term EV ownership.
For Nepali customers comparing compact electric SUVs, the Nevo Q05 stands out not just for its headline 405 km WLTP-C claimed range and fast-charge capability, but also for the unusually high use of soft-touch cabin materials, aiming to deliver a premium feel from the very first time you open the door.
