Dongfeng’s all-electric BOX made its official debut in Lahore, Pakistan, earlier this year in collaboration with Chawla Green Motors—the company’s exclusive authorized distributor for the country. The launch event, which was the automaker’s largest right-hand drive rollout to date, introduced two variants of the BOX EV: the LUX 430 and the Flagship 430.
Dongfeng has now publicly reaffirmed Chawla Green Motors as its sole local partner via its official Facebook page, settling any ambiguity over who holds exclusive rights to distribute its EV lineup in Pakistan. The announcement solidifies the partnership’s strategic role in leading the country’s shift toward electric mobility.
The LUX 430 is priced at Rs. 6,400,000, while the Flagship 430 comes in at Rs. 6,800,000. Bookings are open with an advance payment of Rs. 1,500,000. Immediate delivery is available for selected colors, while other options may require a wait of 40 to 50 days.
The five-door hatchback measures 4,030mm in length, 1,810mm in width, and 1,570mm in height, with a 2,660mm wheelbase. Both variants are powered by a 70 kW permanent magnet synchronous motor and a 42.3 kWh Lithium Iron Phosphate battery, offering up to 430 km of range and a top speed of 140 km/h.
Charging options include a standard 6.6 kW AC charger and DC fast-charging capability, allowing for an 80% charge in just 30 minutes. The vehicle is covered by a four-year/150,000 km warranty and an eight-year/200,000 km battery warranty.
Design-wise, the BOX EV comes with adaptive high/low beam headlights and electronic height adjustment. The LUX 430 is equipped with R16 wheels and covers, while the Flagship 430 steps up with R17 aluminum alloy wheels.
Inside, both variants feature 32-color ambient lighting, wireless charging, an 8-inch central touchscreen, a 5-inch digital instrument cluster, Bluetooth, and smartphone mirroring. The LUX 430 includes four speakers, while the Flagship 430 offers six, along with premium additions like ventilated and heated seats.
Standard safety features include dual airbags, ABS, EBD, ESC, traction control, and a tire pressure monitoring system. The Flagship model adds a full suite of advanced driver-assistance features, such as adaptive cruise control, lane keeping, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, a 540° panoramic camera, highway driving assist, and automatic parking.
With this confirmed partnership, Dongfeng and Chawla Green Motors are positioning themselves as key players in Pakistan’s EV transition, offering a well-rounded, tech-forward option for drivers looking to make the shift to electric.
