In our previous review, we pitted the Honri Ve 2.0 against its successor, the Honri Ve 3.0. This time, our focus shifts to a new contender: the GuGo GiGi. Both the Honri Ve 2.0 and the GuGo GiGi are compact hatchback electric vehicles (EVs) that stand out as some of the most affordable, officially supported EVs on the market.

The GuGo GiGi is available at a price of 3.9 million PKR, making it a more budget-friendly option compared to the Honri Ve 3.0, which is priced at 4.99 million PKR. Despite the significant 1 million PKR price difference, the Honri Ve 3.0 justifies its higher cost with enhanced practicality and additional features that appeal to many buyers. The GuGo GiGi, on the other hand, offers a cost-effective entry into the EV market without compromising on essential functionalities.

In our opinion, Honri Ve 3.0 is a better choice. It has strong backing from Dewan Motors, known for producing commercial KIA vehicles in Pakistan. In contrast, GuGo is relatively unknown and new to the market, with minimal investment in marketing and only having four showrooms across the country.
