Wuling New Cortez MPV Open for Pre-Bookings in Nepal

Wuling New Cortez is coming soon to Nepal.

EV Nepal Motors, the authorized distributor of Wuling vehicles in Nepal, is planning to introduce its second product to the Nepali market.

Wuling Nepal made its debut in the Nepali market with the Wuling Air EV, an electric hatchback.

However, the second product is not an Electric Vehicle, but rather a Petrol MPV.

Interestingly enough, the market seems to be moving towards a 7-Seater MPV in recent years. Both Kia Carens and Jeep Meridian are among the newly launched 7-Seaters in the Nepali market.

What is the Price of Wuling New Cortez in Nepal?

As for the pricing, the new Wuling New Cortez in Nepal is estimated to be around Rs. 45 Lakhs to 60 Lakhs. Moreover, it will be available in CE and EX variants.

The company is tight-lipped about its pricing. However, more information will come to light in coming weeks.

Wuling Nepal is currently taking pre-bookings for the Wuling New Cortez.

Let’s take a quick look at the Wuling New Cortez in Nepal along with its key specifications and features for 2024.

Wuling New Cortez Price in Nepal and Availability

Talking about the costs, the Wuling New Cortez price in Nepal will be around Rs. 45 Lakhs to Rs. 60 Lakhs. It will be available in two variants: CE and EX.

We have estimated the price considering the recently launched Kia Carens.

Wuling Nepal is yet to reveal any sort of revealing details. However, it is currently available for pre-booking.

Nevertheless, it is expected to officially launch at Baishak-end 2080 or mid-May 2023.

Interested individuals can contact the Wuling Nepal showroom at Naxal, Kathmandu.

As for the competition, the Wuling Cortez will likely rival Kia Carens.

This is not set in stone, as the rivalry will depend on its launch price. However, the Wuling Cortez does offer a Turbo Petrol engine, which is unavailable in the Carens.

Nevertheless, it will be interesting to keep an eye out for it.

Is the Nepali market moving out from SUVs towards MPV? Guess, we will find out soon enough.
