REVA to launch electric M1 hatchback and sporty NXG at Frankfurt

An electric car company based in India, REVA has been producing and selling vehicles since 2001. The REVAi is a minuscule three-door hatchback that can seat 4 people and is smaller than a smart fortwo. It can reach a top speed of 80 km/h and offers a range of up to 80 kilometres.

The REVAi can also be equipped with options like A/C, central locking, two-tone leather, climate seats, and a choice of 2000 colours.

At this year’s Frankfurt auto show, REVA will introduce two models and one peculiar new feature.

REVA M1

The M1 is a 4-passenger, 3-door hatch like the REVAi, but will offer a 160-km range when it will go on sale in the beginning of 2010. The NXG, on the other hand, is a two-door sporty car with a targa roof and minics the smart crossblade with its motorcycle windshield and open-air cockpit. According to REVA’s website, the NXG can reach 120 km/h and offers a range of 200 km.

Also presented at the show will be a feature called REVive. If you own a REVA and run out of charge, you can call or SMS REVA and they will instantly “charge you up”; it’s basically an invisible reserve charge that gets remotely activated and, according to REVA, addresses “range anxiety”.

REVA is currently being sold or being market tested in 24 countries.
