Inverex XIO vs Honri Ve 2.0 - Electric Car Comparison

In this detailed comparison, we put two standout electric city cars head-to-head—Inverex XIO and Honri Ve 2.0—to see which compact electric hatchback is better suited for urban EV enthusiasts. These electric commuter cars are designed to dominate city roads with their compact size, affordability, and efficient performance.

Meet the Contenders: Inverex XIO and Honri Ve 2.0

The Honri Ve 2.0, known for its sleek, angular design, is built to zip through traffic effortlessly. It has been on the market for nearly a year and is locally assembled by Yousuf Dewan Motors, offering city electric SUV features with a focus on practicality and affordability. Meanwhile, the Inverex XIO is a new entrant in the segment, challenging competitors like the GUGO GIGI and BAW Brumby with smarter technology and significantly lower running costs.

Pricing Breakdown

The Honri Ve 2.0 carries an ex-factory price of around 40 lacs PKR. On the other hand, the Inverex XIO offers multiple variants: the base 140 Km range starts at 34 lacs, the mid-trim XIO-220 with up to 220 Km range is priced at 42 lacs, and the top-spec XIO 320 with a 320 Km range is available for 52 lacs. These prices are ex-factory as well.

Currently, Inverex is running a limited-time discount on the XIO, so prospective buyers should check with their nearest dealership for the latest offers.

Variant Selection for Fair Comparison

For this comparison, we focus on the mid-level Inverex XIO-220 trim as it offers balanced features. On the Honri side, the Ve 2.0 trim is the best match for comparison, since the higher-end Ve 3.0 is significantly more expensive and would not be an equitable comparison.

Battery, Range, and Performance

When it comes to battery and performance, the Inverex XIO-220 pulls slightly ahead with higher torque and a marginally better range, plus the convenience of both AC and DC fast charging. The Honri Ve 2.0, however, supports only AC household charging but has a higher horsepower rating, meaning it may lead in quick acceleration or drag races.

Dimensions and Practicality

Both compact electric cars share nearly identical dimensions, differing only by millimeters—making them perfect for urban parking and city driving. Although the Honri Ve claims to seat five, its compact size similar to an Alto makes comfortably fitting five passengers doubtful.

Interior and Exterior Features

Inside, both EV commuter cars come with similar infotainment systems, though the Honri Ve 2.0 offers a slightly larger display. Comfort and seating are practical for daily city use in both models. Externally, wheel sizes and alloy designs are comparable, maintaining a sleek urban look for both.

Safety and Comfort

Safety-wise, Honri Ve 2.0 offers dual airbags and advanced safety alerts like low-speed collision warnings, giving it a slight edge over the Inverex XIO-220, which has a single airbag. Both cars feature air conditioning, a must-have for city driving comfort.

City EV Showdown

Both the Inverex XIO and Honri Ve 2.0 are strong contenders in the urban EV segment, with nearly matching specs and features. The XIO’s 20 Km higher range might not make a significant real-world difference, while the Honri Ve scores with an additional airbag on the passenger side. Audiophiles might prefer the XIO’s four-speaker setup over the Ve’s two.
