GWM Nepal has announced its "Go With More" festive offer for Dashain, Tihar and other festivals, with benefits of up to Rs. 2,00,000 on the GWM Ora 5 and up to Rs. 3,00,000 on the Haval Jolion Max EV. It is one of the larger manufacturer-backed festive packages we have seen this season, and it covers two very different electric SUVs.
The timing matters. Dashain and Tihar are when many Nepali families buy a new vehicle, and dealers compete hard for those buyers. GWM is using the window to move its two newest EVs, both launched this year, through dealers in Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, Butwal, Biratnagar, Chitwan, Pokhara and Dhangadhi.
Below we go through what the offer includes, how the two cars compare, and what it means for buyers weighing them against other EVs.
Key Highlights
- Ora 5 buyers get benefits worth up to Rs. 2,00,000.
- Haval Jolion Max EV buyers get benefits worth up to Rs. 3,00,000.
- The package includes free comprehensive insurance, road tax, a spare tyre, a 7 kW charger and accessories.
- Cash discounts, exchange benefits and financing options are also available, subject to GWM's terms and conditions.
- The Ora 5 is priced from Rs. 46,99,000 (Mid) and Rs. 51,99,000 (High) as introductory prices, with a WLTP range of 430 km.

Detailed Analysis
What the "Go With More" package covers
The headline benefit figures are a bundle of items, not a straight cash discount. Free comprehensive insurance and road tax remove two costs that many buyers underestimate at registration. The spare tyre and accessories are smaller items. The 7 kW home charger is probably the most useful part of the package for an EV owner.
A home charger of that size makes overnight charging practical. Without one, many buyers end up on a slow 3.3 kW supply or rely on public stations. Cash discounts, exchange benefits and financing come on top of the bundle, but their value varies by dealer and buyer.
| Benefit | Ora 5 | Haval Jolion Max EV |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum benefit value | Up to Rs. 2,00,000 | Up to Rs. 3,00,000 |
| Free comprehensive insurance | Yes | Yes |
| Free road tax | Yes | Yes |
| Spare tyre and accessories | Yes | Yes |
| 7 kW charger | Yes | Yes |
| Cash discount, exchange, financing | Subject to terms | Subject to terms |
GWM Ora 5: the design-led compact
The Ora 5 is GWM's compact electric SUV with a retro-modern look and a technology-focused cabin. Its design won "Design of the Year" in the Product Design category at the 2025 London Design Awards. Nepal launched it in two variants:
| Variant | Introductory price | WLTP range |
|---|---|---|
| Ora 5 Mid | Rs. 46,99,000 | 430 km |
| Ora 5 High | Rs. 51,99,000 | 430 km |
Both variants share the same claimed range, so the Rs. 5,00,000 gap between them buys features, not extra distance. Compare Mid with Mid and High with High when you look at rivals. Reports note that the High undercuts the MG S5 EV Luxury, which is listed at Rs. 55,99,000, by about Rs. 4,00,000.
A 430 km WLTP figure is a lab number. In Kathmandu traffic you can expect somewhat less, and on the long climbs to Daman or Pokhara the real figure will fall further. Even so, it leaves plenty of room for city driving and occasional highway trips.
Haval Jolion Max EV: the bigger, more powerful choice
The Jolion Max EV is a different kind of car. Nepal was the second market in the world to receive it, and it was introduced at the NAIMA Nepal Mobility Expo 2026. It is a larger, more powerful SUV than the Ora 5.
| Spec | Haval Jolion Max EV |
|---|---|
| Launch price | Rs. 59,99,000 |
| Battery | 58.3 kWh |
| Claimed range (WLTP) | 420+ km |
| Motor | Front-wheel drive, 150 kW, 260 Nm |
| Ground clearance | 190 mm |
| Charging | AC up to 6.6 kW, plus DC fast charging |
| Dimensions | 4,390 x 1,877 x 1,675 mm |
| Wheels | 18-inch and 19-inch alloys |
| Screen | 14.6-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto |
| Safety | Front and rear parking sensors, 360-degree camera, door-open warning, rear collision warning |
The 190 mm ground clearance helps on Nepali roads. Damaged tarmac, speed breakers and monsoon-season potholes are easier to deal with than in a low hatchback. The 360-degree camera also makes tight parking in Kathmandu's lanes less stressful.
How much does the festive package save?
Assuming the full benefit value is used, the effective prices work out roughly as follows. These are our own calculations from the reported figures, and your actual saving depends on the dealer and deal.
| Model | Listed price | Maximum benefit | Approximate effective cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ora 5 Mid | Rs. 46,99,000 | Up to Rs. 2,00,000 | About Rs. 44,99,000 |
| Ora 5 High | Rs. 51,99,000 | Up to Rs. 2,00,000 | About Rs. 49,99,000 |
| Jolion Max EV | Rs. 59,99,000 | Up to Rs. 3,00,000 | About Rs. 56,99,000 |
The Jolion Max EV's bigger discount is a sensible move. At nearly Rs. 60 lakh it sits in a price range where buyers compare closely and expect a sweetener.
Running costs in Nepal
The Jolion Max EV's 58.3 kWh battery costs roughly Rs. 580 to Rs. 700 to fill from empty on a home connection at about Rs. 10 to 12 per kWh. That is a small fraction of what the same distance costs in petrol. At a private fast charger at Rs. 15 to 20 per kWh, a full charge would cost around Rs. 875 to Rs. 1,165. NEA public stations, at Rs. 6 to 10.5 per kWh, are cheaper still.
For a typical 30 to 40 km daily commute, monthly electricity spending of around Rs. 1,000 to Rs. 2,000 is realistic for either car. The included 7 kW charger makes home charging the obvious daily routine.
Impact on Nepal EV Market
For buyers: The package lowers the real cost of entry. Free insurance and road tax alone remove a lump of paperwork and expense at registration, and the bundled charger saves an installation cost. If you were undecided on a Rs. 45 to 60 lakh electric SUV, this shifts the maths, especially for those already thinking of trading in a petrol car.
For rival brands: The offer raises the bar. Competitors selling compact and mid-size electric SUVs will feel pressure to respond with their own festive deals. Expect more bundled benefits over the coming weeks instead of straight price cuts, since bundles protect list prices and resale values.
For dealers: A network spanning seven cities gives GWM reach outside the valley. Showrooms in Butwal, Biratnagar, Chitwan, Pokhara and Dhangadhi matter because buyers there have historically had fewer EV choices and less after-sales support.
Worth watching: Several new electric SUVs are heading to Nepal. Options such as the Tata Sierra EV and the Deepal S03 are on our database, though pricing has not been confirmed. If your budget allows a wait, it may be worth seeing how these compare before signing.
Pro tip: Ask the dealer to itemise the benefit value in writing. "Up to" figures depend on what you choose, and a cash discount is not the same as insurance you might have bought elsewhere at a lower price.
What to Expect Next
Festive offers in Nepal usually run through Dashain and Tihar and often stop soon after. If you are considering either car, the practical window is the next few weeks. After that, expect the extras to shrink or disappear.
Several things to watch:
- Deliveries: GWM has been preparing for deliveries of both models. Check delivery timelines when you book, as stock arrival can lag behind festive demand.
- Competing offers: Other EV brands are likely to announce their own deals before Tihar.
- Price movement: Introductory pricing on the Ora 5 may change once launch promotions end. The Jolion Max EV's price was described as a launch price too.
- Charging network growth: More NEA and private fast chargers will make the 420 to 430 km ranges easier to use on highway trips.
