Mahindra Electric has launched the Treo range of
electric three-wheelers, with prices starting at INR 1.36 lakh. Touted to be
India's first indigenously built electric three-wheeler, the lithium-ion
battery-powered model was showcased at the MOVE Summit in September 2018.
The new model is available in two variants - Treo
Yaari and Treo. The former is priced at INR 1.36 lakh, while the latter costs
INR 2.22 lakh. The Mahindra Treo Yaari features a 2kW motor that gets its juice
from a 3.69 kWh low-maintenance lithium-ion battery pack. It can be completely
charged within 2 hours and 30 minutes. The low-cost variant has a top speed of
24.5 km/h. Peak power and torque are rated at 4.94 hp and 17.5 Nm respectively.
The Mahindra Treo features a
7.37 kWh lithium-ion battery pack that takes 3 hours and 50 minutes to charge
completely. It powers a 5.4 kW electric motor that can propel the three-wheeler
to a top speed of 45 km/h. The powertrain outputs a maximum power of 7.2 hp and
30 Nm.
While the Yaari has a 3+1 seating arrangement, the Treo can accommodate
four passengers and a driver. Another difference between the two models is that
while the Yaari has a soft-top, the more expensive model features a hard-top. Both
the models offer three driving modes - low, medium and high.
The Mahindra Treo is available with a 50,000
km/24-month warranty. On the other hand, the Yaari comes with a 30,000
km/18-month cover.
