Mahindra Reva e2o Four Door caught testing for the first time; likely launch by mid-2016

The Mahindra Reva e2o is currently available in the domestic market as a two-door model. Courtesy of a Team-BHP reader, Mahindra Reva e2o Four Door has been spotted testing for the time.

The test mule was caught heavily camouflaged on the Bengaluru to Hosur highway and it’s been said that the four-door model doesn’t have a dramatic variation in proportions compared to the available electric vehicle with two-door configuration.

It’s more likely to have a slightly longer rear end and above all the spied pictures suggested a modified tail lamp cluster is being moved up at the rear than normal. With the interiors expected to remain unchanged, the four-door version could be added as another variant rather than an extensively revised new model.
