Mahindra e2o ElectriCity launched in the UK

Mahindra has launched the e2o ElectriCity car in the UK market, with deliveries starting in May this year. The car is available in two versions - e2o City priced at £12,995 (Rs 12.26 lakh), and e2o TechX that costs £15,995 (Rs 15.09 lakh).

The TechX model of the e2o gets some additional features over the standard e2o City variant. This includes a Blaupunkt touchscreen infotainment system with reversing camera, telematics, Revive remote emergency recharging, leather seats, alloy wheels and a rapid charging port. In addition, the touchscreen infotainment centre comes with satellite navigation with ‘range remaining’ and maps featuring charge point locations. Bluetooth, Wi-Fi hotspot connection, USB, SD card and DAB radio is also in-built in this system.

With the launch of their fully electric e2o vehicle, Mahindra and Mahindra has re-entered the UK car market. The company earlier sold the Revai, dubbed as the G-Wiz. Now this new two-door, four-seater compact hatchback will be the successor, as it will be seen on UK roads in a couple of months.

The Mahindra e2o ElectriCity can be booked through Mahindra's UK website. Test drives will soon begin in London, Birmingham, Bristol and Milton Keynes. The UK-spec e2o model will be exported from India and is the same fully electric vehicle sold in the Indian market, albeit with some market-specific changes. It will cater to the sub-£16,000 segment of the electric vehicles.
