Shangrila Motors Shifts Leapmotor B10 Shipments to Korala Border Amid Rasuwagadhi Disruptions
Shangrila Motors Pvt. Ltd., the official distributor of Leapmotor vehicles in Nepal, has adjusted its import strategy for the Leapmotor B10. Due to recent flash floods causing temporary disruptions along the Rasuwagadhi route, the company has rerouted incoming shipments through the Korala border point in Mustang. This change aims to prevent delays in delivering the highly anticipated electric SUV to customers.
Originally, the Leapmotor B10 was imported via the Rasuwagadhi border. However, ongoing issues along the Rasuwa corridor have necessitated a swift logistics shift. Shangrila Motors confirms that customer deliveries of the B10 will commence soon, as shipments are now being processed through the Korala route.
The decision to switch routes comes at a strategic time. The B10 has generated significant interest and bookings following its successful appearances at major auto events, including the NAIMA Mobility Expo and the NADA Auto Show. To meet this growing demand, Shangrila Motors is actively working to streamline transportation and customs procedures via the Korala border.
A recent adjustment in the government budget has led to a price reduction for the Leapmotor B10, now priced at Rs. 54.99 lakh in Nepal. The electric SUV is powered by a robust 160 kW rear-wheel-drive motor, paired with a 67.1 kWh battery, offering a claimed range of up to 600 km under the CLTC testing cycle.
The B10 is packed with advanced features, including 180 mm of ground clearance, a 14.6-inch 2.5K touchscreen, and seamless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity. Safety and convenience are enhanced with a 360-degree camera with recording, leatherette seats with heating and ventilation, and a panoramic sunroof with an integrated sunshade.
This strategic rerouting underscores Shangrila Motors’ commitment to maintaining efficient supply chains and meeting customer expectations despite external challenges.
