Dongfeng Box EV | All Variants Comparison

0 4,501

Just two months earlier, GUGO Motors decided to introduce the Box car, a compact all-electric hatchback priced at 7.7 million for the top-spec trim. GUGO, you might be hearing this brand name for the first time, but they are not new in the market. In 2024, the same brand introduced the GUGO GIGI, a tiny dinky hatchback; in February 2024, they introduced the Box model. Now, Dongfeng, the original manufacturer of Nammi, has also introduced the same model in Pakistan today with the same model name “Box”. This doesn’t mean that GUGO has disowned the Box, they are still selling it, but Dongfeng is also on it.

Box from the Dongfeng side, its trim names are changed, and the pricing is changed as well:

  • LUX 430: 6.4 million
  • FLAGSHIP 430: 6.8 million

Here’s the comparison of both trims:

Electric Motor and Range

The LUX 430 and Flagship 430 both share a 70 kW Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) with 430 km of CLTC range. They use the same Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery with a 42.3 kWh capacity and support fast DC charging from 0–80% in about 30 minutes. Maximum speed, motor layout (front-wheel drive), and performance figures are also identical, making them equally capable on the road.
