Fight for Pakistan’s Cheapest Electric Car: GuGo Box EV Gets a Shocking Price Cut

The electric vehicle (EV) landscape in Pakistan is heating up. The DongFeng Box, originally introduced in China, recently made its way to Pakistan under the banner of Chawla Group, which claims official distribution rights. Now, GuGo Motors has entered the fray, undercuting the EV with its own version, branded as the GuGo Box, and aggressively cutting prices across all variants just two months after the debut.

GuGo Box EV: New Prices Announced

GuGo Motors has reduced the prices of its three EV variants—E1, E2, and E3—by Rs. 1,050,000 each. This move not only makes the GuGo Box more attractive but also significantly undercuts the pricing offered by its competitor. Here’s a breakdown of the updated rates:

Variant Old Price (PKR) New Price (PKR) Price Reduction (PKR)
Box E1 Eco 6,700,000 5,650,000 1,050,000
Box E2 Plus 7,300,000 6,250,000 1,050,000
Box E3 Premium 7,700,000 6,650,000 1,050,000

The company notes that these prices are valid for a limited stock. Bookings are open with a partial payment of Rs. 500,000, and deliveries are expected within April.
