MAW Vriddhi Motors has introduced a more affordable **Nammi Vigo E2 variant in Nepal, launching it at a special price of Rs 35.99 lakh** during the NADA Auto Show 2026. This new variant expands the electric SUV lineup, targeting buyers who want the Vigo’s space and performance with a more budget-friendly price. The NADA Auto Show is scheduled from Bhadra 9 to 14.
The new Vigo E2 sits below the existing Nammi Vigo E2+, which is priced at Rs 43 lakh. The higher-spec E2+ adds features such as a moonroof and 18-inch alloy wheels. Despite its lower positioning, the E2 retains several key features of the Vigo, including a 51.87 kWh LFP battery, offering a claimed WLTP range of up to 350 km. Previously, the E2 was priced at Rs 40.99 lakh, marking a significant price reduction.
Price and positioning
- Nammi Vigo E2: Rs 35.99 lakh ex-showroom (special price for NADA Auto Show)
- Nammi Vigo E2+: Rs 43 lakh ex-showroom
- **Dongfeng Nammi Box: Rs 30.24 lakh – Rs 36.75 lakh** ex-showroom
The newly introduced Vigo E2 variant is described as a "full" SUV in terms of cabin space and proportions, but with a trimmed feature list. The intent is clear: keep the key hardware and practicality, but pull the sticker price down for value-focused customers.
MAW Group Chairman Bishnu Kumar Agrawal explained that the price cut is due to a decrease in the company's tax burden under the government's new tax policy. "Under the government's new tax policy, the revenue payable has decreased. We have passed the entire benefit on to consumers," Agrawal said.
Under the current Nepal Rastra Bank regulations, buyers can get financing of up to 60 percent of the vehicle's value, requiring a 40 percent down payment. At the current price, buyers need to make a down payment of Rs 1.4396 million, while the remaining Rs 2.1594 million can be financed for seven years. With interest rates currently available at around 5.25 to 5.50 percent, a loan at 5.5 percent interest for seven years would result in a monthly EMI of around Rs 31,030, making the Vigo more accessible.
Battery, motor and range
The Nammi Vigo lineup offers a 99 kW electric motor, providing brisk performance for city use and highway trips. The E2 supports high-speed DC fast charging with liquid cooling, allowing it to charge up to 80 percent in around 18 minutes, making it practical for longer journeys.
Size and practicality
The Vigo’s dimensions underline its "full SUV" positioning:
- Length: 4,306 mm
- Width: 1,868 mm
- Height: 1,654 mm
- Wheelbase: 2,715 mm
- Ground clearance: 190 mm
These figures translate into a relatively spacious cabin and good clearance for Nepal’s mixed road conditions, making it a practical choice for families and inter-city travel.
Inside, the Vigo offers several clever practicality touches:
- One-touch rear-seat folding for quick cargo expansion
- Front seats that fold flat to create a lounge-like space
- Multiple storage spaces spread around the cabin
Features and tech
Even in this more affordable E2 configuration, most of the core equipment remains unchanged:
- 12.8-inch infotainment touchscreen
- 8.88-inch digital instrument cluster
- Voice controls
- 360-degree camera
- Wireless smartphone charging
- Wi-Fi connectivity
Comfort features include a heated and ventilated driver’s seat, along with welcome and memory seat functions. The Vigo provides Eco, Standard and Sport driving modes, plus three steering modes — Calm, Normal and Comfort — allowing drivers to fine-tune the feel of the car to their preference.
Safety package
On the safety front, the Vigo packs equipment that is still unusual in this price band:
- Six airbags
- Level 2 ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems)
- 360-degree camera
- Auto hold
- Hill hold and hill descent control
- Traction control
These features aim to make daily driving safer and less tiring, especially on hilly routes and in dense city traffic.
Design highlights
Visually, the Nammi Vigo stands out with distinctive lighting elements, including T-shaped LED headlights and triangular crystal-style tail lights. The new E2 retains this exterior character, so buyers choosing the cheaper variant still get the same road presence and overall design as the higher trims.
For Nepali buyers, the key change is simple: the Vigo E2 now offers full-size electric SUV space and fast-charging hardware at Rs 35.99 lakh, providing a compelling option for those seeking a balance between features and affordability.
