Nora, a leading manufacturer of electric vehicles, is preparing to launch two new models in Pakistan: the Nora NEO and Nora METRO. These vehicles are set to make a significant impact in the local market, offering a more affordable alternative to traditional vehicles.
Both the Nora NEO and Nora METRO belong to the L7-category quadricycles, a classification that has helped keep their expected prices relatively low. The company has stated that both vehicles will cost below Rs. 3 million, making them accessible to a broader range of consumers.
The Nora METRO, in particular, stands out with its larger dimensions, resembling a compact hatchback more than a conventional small quadricycle. Its dimensions are 3,900 × 1,800 × 1,800 mm, with a wheelbase of 2,360 mm, compared to the Nora NEO, which measures 3,300 × 1,600 × 1,600 mm and has a wheelbase of 2,300 mm.
Despite their larger size, both vehicles share similar specifications, including a claimed range of 250 to 300 km, a maximum speed of 70 km/h, and a 23.1 kWh LFP battery. The vehicles also feature a 72V system voltage, rear-wheel drive, and a charging time of 6 to 8 hours.
In terms of comfort and convenience, both vehicles come equipped with a 10-inch HD touchscreen infotainment system, four power windows, keyless entry, push-button start, and a reversing camera. They also offer features such as a central locking system, a heater, and USB ports, ensuring a comfortable and modern driving experience.
Nora originally planned to unveil both vehicles during PAPS 2026, which was scheduled from September 18 to 20 in Lahore. However, unavoidable shipping delays have affected the timeline, and the company is now targeting a tentative launch around September 20 or later.
The launch of these vehicles is expected to cater to urban uses such as grocery runs, school and college commutes, and office commutes. With their claimed range and affordability, they are well-positioned to meet the needs of everyday users in Pakistan.
Nora has not yet announced the final prices of the vehicles, but the company has assured that both the NEO and METRO will be priced below Rs. 3 million, making them competitive in the market.
