KATHMANDU: At least nine new vehicle models are expected to be unveiled during the NADA Auto Show 2025, which kicks off at Bhrikuti Mandap, Kathmandu, on August 19.

MAW Vriddhi, the official distributor of Deepal in Nepal, is unveiling the much-anticipated Deepal S05 SUV, which is manufactured in Thailand, at the Auto Show. The SUV is positioned as a more affordable version compared to the brand’s popular S07 model.
The Nammi 06 electric crossover will be another new offering from MAW Vriddhi at the Auto Show.
