Deepal Nevo Q05 Showcased in Nepal Ahead of Launch, Price Expected Below Rs 55 Lakh
MAW Vriddhi, the authorised distributor of Changan in Nepal, has showcased the all-new Deepal Nevo Q05 ahead of its official launch at the upcoming NADA Auto Show 2026.
The Q05 will enter Nepal as a compact electric SUV, with key specifications including a 120 kW electric motor, 51.9 kWh battery, fast-charging capability and a 2,735 mm wheelbase.
While MAW Vriddhi has not yet disclosed the Nepal-specific variant lineup and final specifications, the Deepal Nevo Q05 is expected to be priced below Rs 55 lakh.
At that price point, the Q05 will enter a segment that includes models such as the BYD Atto 2, while its dimensions and wheelbase overlap with some larger electric SUVs, including the BYD Atto 3.
Designed under the leadership of Klaus Zyciora, the former Head of Global Design at Volkswagen Group and recipient of the prestigious Golden A' Design Award, the Q05 follows Deepal's latest design direction. The SUV features a streamlined exterior with the Digital Wing 2.0 full-width DRL and a claimed drag coefficient of 0.265 Cd.
Despite being positioned in the B-segment, the Q05 has a relatively long 2,735 mm wheelbase, which is longer than the 2,720 mm wheelbase of the BYD Atto 3. Deepal claims 990 mm of rear legroom and an 86.6 percent cabin space utilisation rate. The Q05 also has a 540-litre dual-level boot.
The Q05 is powered by a 120 kW electric motor paired with a 51.9 kWh CATL Golden Shield 2.0 LFP battery. It offers a claimed range of up to 462 km under the NEDC cycle.
The SUV supports up to 162 kW DC fast charging, with the battery claimed to charge from 30 to 80 percent in around 15 minutes. It also gets 3.3 kW Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) functionality.
The cabin gets several features that are typically found in higher segments. Depending on the variant, these include heated, ventilated and massaging front seats, while the front passenger seat can be equipped with a reclining function and leg rest.
Other features include 256-colour ambient lighting and a 1.8-square-metre panoramic glass roof. The second-row seats offer two-level reclining functionality, while Deepal claims an interior noise level of 62 dB at 60 km/h.
The infotainment system consists of a 15.6-inch 2.5K touchscreen, complemented by a 10.17-inch digital instrument cluster. Apple CarPlay and HiCar connectivity are also available, while additional connected features will depend on the variant.
The Q05 also comes with a range of driver-assistance and safety technologies. Higher variants feature Deepal's Tianshu intelligent driving system, with the exact ADAS functions and equipment for the Nepal-spec model expected to be confirmed by MAW Vriddhi at launch.
The Q05 has already recorded more than 100,000 sales in China in less than nine months. Its arrival in Nepal comes as the country's electric SUV market continues to expand, with several brands competing across the compact and mid-size EV segments.
MAW Vriddhi will offer the Deepal Nevo Q05 with a 5-year or 150,000 km whole-vehicle warranty. The model will make its official debut on August 23.
