Mahindra launches new electric city car
Date: 25 April 2016 | Author: Tristan Young
Mahindra, the car maker that previously sold the G-wiz in the UK, has launched a new all-electric city car called the e20.
Priced from £12,995 (Government plug-in grant already taken into account), the three-door hatchback has an official range of 79 miles. Mahindra claims the e20, with a top speed of 63mph, has a real-world range of up to 70 miles in warmer conditions dropping closer to 50 miles in winter. Charge time from a standard 16amp three-pin socket is nine hours.
The 'internet only' e20 will be available direct from the manufacturer, rather than through a network of dealers. Mahindra is also aiming for all servicing to be carried out on a collect and deliver basis, however the firm advises that at busy times customers may be asked to drive their car to the Middlesex-based service centre. The car will be covered by a three-year 60,000 mile warranty.
The e20 is available in two trim levels; the City which includes a cloth interior, keyless start and steel wheels, the TechX (priced at £14,995) includes leather seats, alloy wheels, aircon, mobile control app, rapid charge facility, reversing camera and rear windscreen wiper.
The four-seat car is just 3.28m long and 1.51m wide, making it smaller than a Fiat 500.
