Reva to cost less


The Maini Reva, which comes at a price band of Rs. 3.28 lakh to Rs. 4.28 lakh (on-road Bangalore), is expected to be priced Rs. 3 lakh and upwards. It will debut in the Delhi market at this competitive on-road price. The two-seater hatchback is expec ted to be cheaper than the Hyundai Santro, Tata Motors Indica and General Motors Spark, which come in the price band of Rs. 3 lakh to Rs 3.3 lakh (on-road price Delhi), though these vehicles are not comparable due to their diverse benefits.

Customers have a choice of personalising the colour schemes with over 2,000 shades. The car runs on eight 6-volt lead acid batteries which can be charged by plugging into any 15 ampere electric socket. The 2.6-metre long Reva has a turning radius of 3.5 metres and is easy to park. The car has a maximum speed of 80 kph and runs at a cost of 40 paise per kilometre. “It’s a modern urban concept which tackles the parking and emission problems. We are not looking for great volumes but will be educating the customers on the new eco-friendly mobility concept and cheap running cost,” said a company official.
