Tata Motors has given significant updates to its popular Nexon EV. One among them is a 45kWh battery pack that claims a near-real-world driving range (C75) of 350–370km, while the ARAI-claimed figure is rated for 489km. Priced from Rs 13.99 lakh to Rs 16.99 (ex-showroom), the Nexon EV with the 45kWh battery is available in Creative, Fearless, Empowered, and Empowered+ variants. At the said starting price, the Nexon EV is now more affordable than the one with a smaller 40.5kWh battery. The latter ranges from Rs 14.59 lakh to Rs 16.29 lakh (ex-showroom) and is offered in Fearless, Fearless+, Fearless+ S, and Empowered+ variants.
The other battery option of 30kWh is also available with the Nexon EV, which you can buy for a price of Rs 12.49 lakh (starting price, ex-showroom). With the 45kWh battery-powered Nexon EV, Tata offers a front-wheel drive electric motor that makes 143bhp and 215Nm. The new battery is 15 per cent more dense than the 40kWh unit, and its charging time (0-80%) is a claimed 40 minutes with a 60kW fast charger.
