Length: 3,815 mm
At 3.8 meters, the NIOS is perfectly sized for the narrow gallis of Patan and Thamel. It strikes a balance between being compact enough to park anywhere and long enough to provide decent interior legroom.
Width: 1,680 mm
The width of 1,680 mm ensures that the car feels stable on the road while allowing three average-sized adults to sit in the rear with reasonable comfort, a key requirement for family buyers in Nepal.
Height: 1,520 mm
The tall-boy inspired height ensures that ingress and egress are effortless, even for elderly passengers. It also contributes to a generous amount of headroom inside the cabin.
Wheelbase: 2,450 mm
The 2,450 mm wheelbase is one of the longest in its segment, which directly translates to superior rear-seat knee room, often rivaling cars from a segment above.
Ground Clearance: 165 mm
A ground clearance of 165 mm is standard for this class. While it handles most speed breakers well, careful navigation is advised when traversing the larger "unscientific" bumps often found in local municipalities.
Kerb Weight: 935 kg
The light kerb weight of 935 kg allows the 1.2L engine to be very efficient. The use of 65% Advanced High Strength Steel (AHSS) ensures that despite being light, the structural integrity is not compromised.
Turning Radius: 4.88 m
With a turning radius of under 5 meters, the NIOS can pull off U-turns in tight spaces where larger sedans or SUVs would struggle, making it the ultimate urban tool.
