What is Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) and why are EV buyers interested?

As electric vehicles (EVs) become more popular in Nepal, buyers are no longer focused only on range and charging.

Today’s EV customers are also looking at driving comfort, stability, and overall performance.

In this shift, Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) technology is gaining strong attention among Nepali EV buyers.

EVs equipped with RWD offer better balance, improved traction, and smoother driving comfort.

These qualities make RWD vehicles well suited for Nepal’s varied road conditions, helping drivers feel more confident on highways, city roads, and hilly terrain.

What is Rear-Wheel Drive?

Rear-Wheel Drive is a well-known global driving technology recognized for good handling and vehicle balance.

Although it is commonly associated with premium and sports cars, MG has made this technology accessible to Nepali EV customers through Paramount Motors authorized importer and distributor for MG ang IM Motors for Nepal.

MG models such as the MG S5, MG4, MG Comet, and MG IM6 are available with RWD technology.

In an RWD system, power from the motor is sent to the rear wheels, while the front wheels handle steering.

This setup improves road grip, reduces wheel slip, and provides better control while taking turns or driving on winding roads.

Is RWD suitable for Nepal?

Nepal’s roads include steep uphill and downhill sections along with many sharp curves. In such conditions, RWD-equipped EVs perform effectively by offering better control, balance, and driving comfort.

According to Paramount Motors, the authorized distributor of MG and IM Motors in Nepal, RWD EVs deliver a stable and confident driving experience across diverse terrains.

Customers planning to purchase RWD-equipped EVs can benefit from Paramount Motors’ “Electrifying New Year 2026” offer. Launched on Dec 25, the scheme offers cash benefits of up to NPR 400,000, along with best-in-class valuation, exchange bonus, easy financing options, free accessories, and immediate delivery.

The offer is available at MG showrooms nationwide.
