The vehicle is available in three variants—Nova, Stella, and Vega—with ex-showroom prices starting at ₹3.25 lakh, ₹3.99 lakh, and ₹4.49 lakh, respectively.
Designed for city commuting, the Eva measures 2,950 mm in length, 1,200 mm in width, and 1,590 mm in height. It accommodates a centrally positioned driver and two rear passengers.
