Mahindra and Mahindra who is well-known for producing bold and strong utility vehicle is all set to open up a new Mahindra REVA plant on 22nd of next month 2012 in Bangalore. The new REVA plant is expected to produce about 30000 units of REVA NXR annually. Speculations in the market suggest that the new REVA NXR is likely to be launched in the Indian car market in the month of September and the price tag will land around Rs. 5 lakh. M&M is pushing itself hard and wish to bring in huge amount in electric vehicle segment and with REVA NXR it seems to be quite possible.

The new Mahindra REVA NXR is basically a two-door hatchback and can easily adjust four adults. As compared to the older version of Mahindra REVA, the new REVA NXR has numerous improvements and upgrades. The car would come with the REVive technology that triggers the reserve charge, in case you are out of battery. The car would be blessed with the Lithium-ion battery that would give a run up of 160 kms in a single full charge. The top speed here would be 100kmph.

Look-wise, the brand new REVA NXR would be stylish and chic. The car has been developed in alliance with DC Design and finishing has been given by the very own REVA team itself. This electric vehicle by Mahindra and Mahindra was revealed at the 11th Auto Expo that took place early this year in New Delhi.

To make new REVA NXR a big success, the firm will offer the car in three variants with diverse battery sizes. The base variant will sport a small battery, while the top-end trim would features bigger batteries with a long running charge. Hopefully, the mid-variant would be the most sought out one as it would feature medium sized battery. This is likely to take about 8 hours to full charge. The air conditioning system, advanced range meter and quick charge mechanism are the other major highlights of REVA NXR.
