Meet Vira
Vira carries people through the daily rush of Indian cities and towns. It is built for drivers who spend the whole day on the road, and for passengers who expect a safe, smooth ride. Like every Surja vehicle, Vira has been tested on all kinds of road conditions and is certified by ARAI, Pune.
Before reaching customers, Vira went through Surja's full validation programme: performance, braking, stability and durability checks on city traffic, rural and broken roads, gradients, monsoon conditions and high heat. It then completed independent testing and certification at the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI), Pune.
