Capital Smart Motors is moving closer to customer deliveries of the JMEV EV3 after market-ready units arrived in Pakistan.
The subcompact electric hatchback targets buyers looking for an EV below the Rs5 million mark. Capital Smart Motors first showcased the EV3 at the Pakistan Auto Parts Show in Karachi in November 2025.
The company officially launched the model in March 2026 and opened bookings in April. It introduced two variants, Comfort and Premium.
The Comfort currently carries an ex-factory price of Rs4,899,999. The Premium costs Rs4,999,999, according to the latest market listing.
Capital Smart Motors had earlier displayed a left-hand-drive pre-market version. The version now reaching Pakistan comes in a market-ready configuration for local customers.
First Shipment Reaches Pakistan
Capital Smart Motors said in July that the first EV3 shipment had left the JMEV manufacturing facility in China.
The vehicles were heading to Karachi Port at the time.
Capital Smart Motors has indicated that customer deliveries will begin soon. However, it has not publicly confirmed a final delivery date.
The EV3 enters a relatively small electric hatchback segment in Pakistan.
Its closest mainstream rival is the MG Binguo EV. MG reduced the Binguo’s price to Rs5.699 million earlier this year. That still leaves it around Rs700,000 to Rs800,000 above the JMEV, depending on the EV3 variant.
Smaller models such as the Honri VE and GiGi EV sit in the micro-EV category. The EV3 targets buyers seeking a more conventional four-seat hatchback.
JMEV EV3 Offers 330km Claimed Range
Both JMEV EV3 variants use a 30.24kWh lithium iron phosphate battery.
The latest market-ready specifications list a claimed CLTC range of up to 330 kilometres.
The front-wheel-drive EV uses a 50kW electric motor producing 125Nm of torque.
It can accelerate from zero to 50km/h in 4.5 seconds. Its claimed maximum speed is 102km/h.
The EV3 measures 3,720mm long, 1,640mm wide and 1,535mm high in the latest specification sheet. Its wheelbase measures 2,390mm.
The car weighs around 1,060kg and offers seating for four people.
Both variants support CCS2 charging with AC and DC charging capability.
Capital Smart Motors offers a three-year or 60,000km vehicle warranty. The battery gets coverage for eight years or 120,000km.
The company also markets a five-year buyback guarantee for the EV3. Its website positions the hatchback as its lowest-priced electric model in Pakistan.
There is one specification difference buyers may want to confirm before purchase. Capital Smart Motors’ current website lists 95kW power and 180Nm torque for the EV3. The latest market-ready specifications reported at the Lahore event list 50kW and 125Nm.
Final specifications on delivered customer vehicles will therefore be important to verify.
Premium Variant Adds Advanced Driver Assistance
Both EV3 variants get a 5-inch digital instrument cluster and a 10.1-inch central touchscreen.
The infotainment system supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Buyers also get Bluetooth connectivity and a wireless phone charger.
Both variants include a 360-degree panoramic camera and rear parking radar.
The standard safety package includes two airbags, ABS and electronic brake-force distribution. Electronic stability control also comes as standard.
Other safety features include tyre pressure monitoring and ISOFIX child-seat anchors. Both trims also offer blind spot detection.
The Premium adds a more extensive driver-assistance package.
It includes autonomous emergency braking and forward collision warning. Lane keep assist and lane departure warning also feature on the higher trim.
Adaptive cruise control forms part of the Premium package. Traffic jam assist and highway driving assist are also included.
Those features are not available on the Comfort version.
Customers can choose from four exterior colours: Pearl White, Pink Luxe, Ocean Blue and Green Aura.
The EV3’s pricing could become one of its strongest selling points.
MG’s Binguo EV carries a larger 31.9kWh battery and offers up to 333km of claimed CLTC range. MG currently positions it as a compact urban electric car.
The JMEV enters the same broad city-car market at a lower starting price.
Its arrival also gives Pakistani buyers another electric option below Rs5 million without moving into the smaller micro-EV category.
With the first shipment now in Pakistan, the next major milestone will be customer deliveries.
Capital Smart Motors has not announced an exact nationwide delivery schedule. However, the arrival of production-ready vehicles suggests the commercial rollout is entering its final stage.
