Nepal’s Most Affordable 4x4 Electric Pickup: Riddara RD6 ECON at Rs. 71.99 Lakh

With a price tag of Rs. 71.99 lakh, the Riddara RD6 ECON, which has officially arrived in Nepal, is upending the pickup market. If you've been following the EV scene in Kathmandu, you are aware that CG Motors has been pushing the boundaries. However, this new ECON 4x4 type is especially made to find the ideal balance between a tech-heavy lifestyle vehicle and a tough workhorse.

The dual-motor, all-wheel-drive design that truly manages Nepal's difficult terrain without breaking a sweat is what sets the ECON apart, not simply its price.

Key Highlights

Unmatched Value: At Rs. 71.99 Lakh, it’s positioned as one of the most accessible 4x4 electric pickups in the country.
Built for the Hills: With a 225 mm ground clearance and an 815 mm wading depth, it's ready for monsoon roads and river crossings.
Work-Ready Payload: A massive 1,235 kg payload capacity and 1,200 liters of bed space make it a legitimate commercial contender.
Mobile Power Grid: The 6 kW V2L (Vehicle-to-Load) system means you can run power tools or camping gear directly from the truck.
Enhanced Safety: Uses an IP68-rated battery shield and a chassis built with 70% high-strength steel.
