Nepal’s electric pickup segment gets a new, more affordable choice with the arrival of the Maxus eTerron 9 Comfort, a lower‑priced variant of the brand’s flagship EV pickup.
According to the official announcement, Himalaya Motrox has launched the eTerron 9 Comfort at an introductory price of Rs 88 lakh, limited to the first 50 customers.
Positioning and variants
The Comfort sits below the previously launched Premium trim, giving buyers a straightforward choice between value and features.
- Maxus eTerron 9 Comfort – Rs 88 lakh (introductory, first 50 customers)
- Maxus eTerron 9 Premium – Rs 1.28 crore (fully loaded variant)
With nearly Rs 40 lakh between the two, the Comfort targets buyers who want the performance and capability of the eTerron 9 but are willing to skip some higher‑end equipment to keep the budget in check.
Battery, power and performance
According to the announcement, the eTerron 9 Comfort uses a 102.2 kWh battery pack paired with a dual‑motor all‑wheel‑drive (AWD) setup. The system is claimed to deliver 700 Nm of torque, which is on the higher side even among EV pickups.
- Battery: 102.2 kWh
- Drivetrain: Dual‑motor AWD
- Torque: 700 Nm (claimed)
- 0–100 km/h: 5.8 seconds (claimed)
On paper, this puts the Comfort variant close to the Premium in straight‑line performance. That will matter to buyers who need strong pulling power and quick acceleration for highway use or hilly routes.
Claimed driving range
For range, the company cites up to 560 km on a single charge (NEDC test cycle), according to the announcement.
- Claimed range: up to 560 km (NEDC)
NEDC is a lab test, so real‑world figures are usually lower. Buyers should expect less range in daily use, especially with loads, steep climbs and mixed road conditions typical in Nepal.
What it means for Nepali buyers
With this launch, the Maxus eTerron 9 is now one of the few all‑electric pickups officially sold in Nepal.
It offers:
- A lower entry price via the Comfort variant while keeping the same battery size and AWD layout, according to the announcement.
- A clear step‑up option in the eTerron 9 Premium at Rs 1.28 crore for those wanting more equipment and convenience features.
For fleet operators, contractors and private buyers looking at a work‑ready EV in place of a diesel pickup, the eTerron 9 Comfort at Rs 88 lakh opens the door to long‑range, high‑torque electric performance at a noticeably lower price than the flagship trim, as long as the introductory offer is still available.
