| NEXON EV |
The Tata Nexon EV is one of India’s most popular electric SUVs, combining practical range, modern features, and the backing of Tata Motors’ EV ecosystem. It competes in the compact electric SUV segment and appeals to buyers who want a balance between usability, performance, and cost.
Price & Variants
As of now, the ex-showroom price of the Tata Nexon EV in India begins around ₹12.49 lakh for the base variants.
On the higher end, premium variants and those with extra features (such as ADAS) can go up to ₹17.49 lakh or more.
For example, Tata has also launched a Nexon EV variant with ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System), priced from about ₹17.29 lakh (ex-showroom) for those extra safety and autonomous features.
Because of regional differences (state taxes, incentives, location), the on-road price will be higher in each city.

Technical Specifications & Performance
The Nexon EV uses Tata’s Ziptron electric drivetrain technology. Below are its key specs:
· Battery & Range
The current model offers a 46.08 kWh battery pack.
The claimed range (MIDC cycle) is approximately 489 km for the larger battery setup.
· Motor & Power
It is equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor rated at 110 kW.
Torque output is in the range suited for city and highway performance.
· Charging
It supports both AC and DC fast charging modes under Tata’s EV infrastructure.
With fast DC charging, the battery can be charged to a significant percentage within a shorter period, aiding in long-distance usability.
· Dimensions & Weight
Being a compact SUV, it retains similar dimensions to the ICE Nexon, with modifications to accommodate the battery pack. (Exact dimensions vary by variant and are close to those of the ICE Nexon platform.)
The vehicle’s kerb weight is higher than its petrol/diesel counterpart because of the heavy battery pack.
· Safety & Features
The Nexon EV comes with multiple airbags (typically 6 in higher variants), ABS with EBD, electronic stability program, traction control, hill hold functions, and regenerative braking.
Higher variants may offer more advanced features like ADAS (lane keep assist, adaptive cruise, collision warnings) in the newer ADAS-equipped models.
· Interior & Infotainment
Tata offers modern touchscreens, connected car features (via its iRA or Tata EV platform), digital instrument clusters, multiple drive modes, and comfort features such as climate control, premium upholstery in higher trims, and more.
NEXON EV
Strengths & Considerations
Strengths:
1. Strong brand and support network — Tata has a growing EV charging and service network across India.
2. Good real-world usability — The 489 km claimed range gives it flexibility for both city driving and occasional highway trips.
3. Feature-rich and modern — The newer variants bring advanced driver assistance, connectivity, and comfort features.
4. Growing appeal of EV ownership — Lower running costs, government incentives, and brand confidence make it a strong option.
Considerations:
· The actual real-world range (especially under heavy load or extreme temperatures) will be less than the claimed MIDC number.
· Charging infrastructure, especially DC fast charging in many areas, is still catching up.
· The higher variants become expensive due to the extra technology (ADAS, etc.).
· Maintenance of the battery over the long term, warranty on the battery, and residual value are key factors to understand before purchase.
Conclusion
The Tata Nexon EV stands out as a compelling electric SUV in India’s EV market. With a solid battery pack, competitive range, modern features, and increasing acceptance of EVs in India, it offers a practical option for many buyers. While pricing for premium variants is steep, for many consumers it delivers value in long-term running and future readiness. If you like, I can also prepare a comparison of Nexon EV vs MG ZS EV or BYD Atto 3 to help see how it stacks up. Would you like that?
