Maxus eTerron 9: An Exciting e-Pickup Coming To Nepal, Priced at Rs. 99.99 Lakhs

Maxus eTerron 9 is going to launch in Nepal.

Himalaya Motrox, the newly appointed authorized distributor of Maxus vehicles in Nepal, is preparing to launch the Maxus eTerron 9, a new electric pickup truck.

Maxus, a commercial and passenger vehicle brand, operates under SAIC Motor, one of China’s largest automotive manufacturers. Notably, SAIC Motor acquired the MG brand back in 2007 and has an extensive portfolio.

Paramount Motors, the official distributor of MG vehicles in Nepal, previously managed the Maxus brand as well. However, the responsibility for distributing the new Maxus models — the eTerron 9 and MIFA 7 — now shifts to Himalaya Motrox.

The Maxus eTerron 9 has been designed and engineered by SAIC Motor’s global R&D teams. More importantly, it complies with the rigorous European standards, making it a globally competitive electric pickup ready for the Nepali roads.

Bookings for the eTerron 9 are now open, with the official launch scheduled for May 14, 2025. The EV debuts with an introductory price of Rs. 99.99 Lakhs, which will later increase to Rs. 1.05 Crore.

Additionally, the eTerron 9 also comes backed with strong warranty coverage, offering a 5-year (or 160,000 km) Vehicle warranty and an 8-year (or 200,000 km) Battery warranty.

Maxus eTerron 9 Overview

Design

The Maxus eTerron 9 embraces the “New Electrified Mecha” design philosophy, giving it a bold and commanding presence on the road.

At the front, it features a fully enclosed grille with a chrome-finished “MAXUS” logo at the center. Vertical LED Headlights flank the grille and are enclosed a full-width LED light strip that serves as DRLs.

Just below, an integrated air intake cools the battery pack, while a rugged bumper adds to its muscular stance.

One standout feature is the Electric Front Gate that opens to reveal a 236-liter frunk. Notably, this storage area includes a built-in power outlet which is a feature rarely seen in vehicles in Nepal.

From the side, the eTerron 9 stretches an impressive 5.5 meters in length, highlighting its massive footprint.

It rides on large 20-inch Alloy Wheels that complement its robust styling. Blacked-out cladding provides a dual-tone aesthetic and adds a layer of ruggedness. Roof rails come standard on the Premium variant, further boosting utility.

At the rear, it features a functional pickup bed with an Electric Tailgate, offering a spacious 1250-liter cargo. Inside, the cabin of the Premium variant (which is expected to arrive in Nepal) feels upscale and well-appointed.

All seats come wrapped in Leatherette and support Heating, while the front seats also include Ventilation and Massage functions.

The driver’s seat features 8-way Power Adjustment along with 4-step Lumbar Support, while the front passenger seat offers 6-way power adjustability. A pair of 12.3-inch screens serve as the infotainment display and digital instrument cluster.

Premium variant also includes a Panoramic Sunroof as standard. Additional features include Wireless Charging, Automatic Climate Control, V2L (Vehicle-to-Load) support, Rear AC vents, and an 8-speaker audio system.

Additionally, eTerron 9 is available in four distinctive color options: Metal Black, Pearl White, Desert Yellow, and Concrete Grey.

Performance

The Maxus eTerron 9 packs serious performance with its All-Wheel Drive system and Dual Motor setup.

A 125 kW Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor powers the front axle, while a more powerful 200 kW motor drives the rear. Together, they produce 442 PS of max power and 700 Nm of max torque.

A massive 102.2 kWh Lithium Iron Phosphate battery supports this powertrain that offers an impressive WLTP-claimed range of 430 km which is quite remarkable for a vehicle in the pickup segment. With an 11 kW AC charger, the battery takes approximately 12 hours to charge from 5% to 100%.

For quicker top-ups, the eTerron supports fast charging up to 115 kW, allowing it to go from 20% to 80% in just 42 minutes.

In Nepal’s context, where 60 kW DC charging is the benchmark, the same charge level takes around 80 minutes.

Moreover, the eTerron 9 includes an All-Terrain mode to enhance off-road capability. It also impresses on tarmac, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.8 seconds and reaching a top speed of 190 km/h.

Additional Details

An Air (Independent) Suspension setup on the front and rear handles the suspension duties.

The dimensions are 5500 mm in length, 1997 mm in width, and 1874 mm in height. Moreover, the wheelbase sits at a comfortable 3300 mm.

Overall ground clearance of eTerron 9 is 242 mm. And, the kerb weight is 2880 kg.

The vehicle truly stands out when it comes to storage capacity. At the front, it features a 236-litre frunk while on the rear, the spacious bed delivers a 1250 liters of volume and can carry up to 650 kg of load.

On top of that, it offers a braked towing capacity of 3,500 kg, making it a highly capable utility vehicle.

Maxus eTerron 9 Price in Nepal and Availability

Maxus eTerron 9 price in Nepal will start at Rs. 99.99 Lakhs.

The official distributors have confirmed that the eTerron 9 is likely to launch on May 14, 2025. However, eager buyers can already pre-book the vehicle ahead of its official debut.

The distributors have adopted a low-margin, high-volume strategy for the eTerron 9. This is clearly reflected in its pricing, especially considering that pickups usually demand a much higher price in Nepal.

At its current price point, the eTerron 9 presents an exceptionally compelling value considering its all-wheel drive, an electric powertrain, and a rich feature set.

That said, the distributors plan to revise the price to Rs. 1.05 Crore after an initial period, so early buyers stand to benefit the most. Also, the eTerron 9 comes with a 5-year (or 160,000 km) vehicle warranty and an 8-year (or 200,000 km) battery warranty.

The Maxus eTerron 9 is entering a relatively underdeveloped segment in Nepal, but it’s not without competition.

The Riddara RD6, which recently launched with a 4WD variant, has already set a precedent and now stands as a potential rival to the eTerron 9.

Despite this, a closer look at their specifications reveals a clear gap between the two. The eTerron 9 holds a distinct advantage across several key areas, however,  it also comes with a significantly higher price tag, costing around Rs. 17 lakhs more than the RD6.

That said, the eTerron 9 justifies its premium pricing. It offers a longer wheelbase, a more powerful powertrain, a greater driving range, and a larger overall storage capacity. Its suspension setup also enhances ride quality.

Most importantly, the eTerron 9 carries a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, a benchmark the RD6 fails to meet, as it lacks any officially published safety rating.
