Eclectic Electric Twins : NXR & NXG
Reva surely can't play with the big boys on their terms but this technology company can effectively carve out a niche for itself with its own proprietary technology which it has proved under arduous conditions in India and overseas via its existing Reva G-Wiz. While many might have avoided an electric car in India for three reasons (the Mickey Mouse styling of the original Reva, the high cost of the vehicle and the lack of range plus quick charge facility), the new four-seater Reva NXR and the sexy Reva NXG two-seater coupe (also to be made in an open topped cabrio version) could change all that.
The NXR is all-new from the ground up and was designed by Reva's own in house design and development team with the final styling having been tweaked by Dilip Chhabria of DC Design in Pune. As one can make out from the car shown above, this is in essence a slightly squared up hatchback with seating for four yet has just two doors! What marks this car out for me apart from its obvious mainstream looks is that it has not borrowed from the cramped confines of the original Reva and instead there is ample space to accommodate four adults with reasonable head, elbow and leg room.
