Exterior Not so good looking car.  But paint quality is good and exterior body seems strong. Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Spacious front seats but poor manucturing.  The rear view mirror just broke off on the first day.  After that every month  I have problems in this car: window seals come apart, windows don't close properly, doors don't close properly.  And within 4 months I am having transmission fluid leak problem.  The service guy said this is common and they put some seal to fix it.  But still drips the fluid.  Poor manufacturing.  During heavy rains you can have water drip inside since window seals are of poor quality. Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Silent car.  But When AC is on it makes some sound which is ok.  I get around 65-70 kms per charge even with AC on so not so bad.  Not suitable as a family car though.. it maybe ok to use it for office and back home.  AC is a different motor so there is no compromise on speed when AC is on.  Also you need to add pure distilled water once a month(which is very difficult to procure from Reva service center since they are out of stock most of the time).  The mechanism to add water is also not very user friendly.  Need to struggle to make the water flow.  Then there is the charging cable which got jammed in winter and I was unable to pull it out from the car.  Had to call the service guy twice and paid Rs 600 to have it replaced. Ride Quality & Handling Very bumpy ride on indian roads. Shock absorbers are not so great.  I sometimes get backache.  No power steering so it's little difficult to handle. Final Words An expensive car with manufacturing defects.  My biggest complaint is having a transmission fluid leak within 4 months and service people thinking this is a common problem!  If you are picking this just for low running cost then you may want to think again.  If you are looking for a relatively low cost, easy ride (automatic gears) then this maybe the only option (since there is no other competitor in this class). My electricity bill is around Rs 400 to 500 and I use it for about 600 kms in a month.  Areas of improvement Improve body integrity (to avoid broken rear view mirrors, window/door closing issues, etc.). Improve manufacturing quality (shouldn't be seeing fluid leaks in a new car). For the price we are paying would expect a power steering atleast. Accelerator pedal seems a little out of place (more left aligned).  But after driving for a while you may get used to it.Descent speed for small electric car and AC works wellPoor quality, less than average service

Exterior Austhetically not bad for this type of car. Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Still R&D to be done for better spacious and comfortable, and in safety side still some safety modifications to be carry out in design. Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine has giving good performance intially,fuel economy is very good ,gear box is also good it meane very smooth gears shifting mechanism adapted, and one more extra thing is required battery warranty to be increased with existing and the batteries are moer expensive. Ride Quality & Handling During riding feels like moving in space or air , that indicates high quality and not thrills during riding like other brands due to less boosting power comparatively. Final Words Good for future if it changes in some areas , and also if developments will be carried out inbetween. Areas of improvement Safety required for family during riding ( it has to ensure less accident impactness on riders and pillions in case of attempting major accidents to be modify to suit for driving economically on roads in villages and also for hill stations. Increase in boosting power capacity of vehicle leads thrills for young generation.Non-fuel car,very less sounded,Bad interiors, not suitable for entire family, very non-comfortable for roads in villages

Hi Car lovers,You just cant think to love this car. It is TOOOOO highly priced. One can save all the money (after taking a NANO) and the interest from the bank will sufficiently fill the tanks for many years to come. Its is absurd to keep the car priced at above 4 lakhs!!SanjeevYes No fuel. But over night charge gives only 70 km. A city car.Bad interiors, No space, No power, No long drive, No safety and so on ....
