Mahindra E Verito D6

The Mahindra eVerito takes a traditional diesel powered sedan, and turns it into a zero-emission family car at an affordable price. Launched in June 2016, the eVerito is available in 3 variants, i.e. D2, D4 and D6, all priced very close to each other. The eVerito D6 is the range-topping variant and is offered at a price of Rs 10 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi, as of May 6, 2017).

In terms of equipment, the eVerito D6 is identical to the mid-range D4. The safety kit is consistent throughout the range, and while all variants get a digital immobilizer, auto door locks and height-adjustable seatbelts, airbags and ABS have been given a miss. At the least, we believe the top-end variant should have been offered with these safety features.

So, what does the relatively small price premium get you? Well, it gets you the fast charging input. Through this advanced charging port, you can get your eVerito up to an 80 per cent charge in around 1 hour and 45 minutes. In the other two variants, the 200Ah lithium-ion battery needs 8 hours and 45 minutes to reach a 100 per cent charge. With the fast charger, you wonâ??t be able to get the battery juiced up all the way, but enough to manage some decent in city travel. On a complete charge, the eVerito can manage a travel range of around 110km.

The eVerito is powered by a 3-phase AC induction motor. With a power output of 30.5kW and a peak torque of 91Nm, the sedan can hit a top speed of 86kmph.

The Mahindra eVerito has no direct rivals, but falls into the same price range as popular executive sedans and compact SUVs.
