KATHMANDU: CG Motors is set to launch the Aion UT hatchback at the 17th edition of the NADA Auto Show 2025, commencing on August 19, 2025.
This family-friendly hatchback is expected to appeal to buyers with its competitive price and practical features, making it a notable addition to the Nepali market.
The company has not yet shared details about the price, battery size, or motor power for the Nepali version. However, the Aion UT is sold in China for USD 12,300 to USD 15,000.
It features a 44 kWh LFP battery with a claimed range of 420 km under CLTC standards. In real conditions, the range is estimated at around 340 km. The hatchback uses a 100 kW motor.
