    The REVA NXR is a four-seat, three-door hatchback family car suitable for
urban driving that can be ordered at the show, with production scheduled to

renowned automotive design company DC Design.

for an instant remote recharge should they run out of charge. Both the REVA
NXR and the REVA NXG will feature the REVive telematics technology. Further
technology and pricing announcements will be made at the IAA.
    REVA's new website, Revaglobal.com, will go live at the time of the
vehicle launches in Frankfurt and customers can register on the priority list
for the new cars on-line.
