Tata Nexon EV Gets a Major Upgrade: Larger Battery Pack, Panoramic Sunroof, and More
Tata Motors has unveiled significant updates to its popular electric SUV, the Nexon EV. The 2024 Nexon EV comes with a larger battery pack, improved range, a panoramic sunroof, and a new Red Dark edition. Let’s explore these exciting enhancements in detail.
Electric Powertrain Updates
One of the most significant changes to the Nexon EV is the introduction of a larger 45 kWh battery pack. This is the same battery pack used in the Curvv EV, and it offers a claimed range of 489 km on a single charge. The Nexon EV still retains its powerful 145 PS/215 Nm electric motor.
While the official claimed range is impressive, the real-world range can vary depending on driving conditions and usage patterns. Tata estimates that the Nexon EV with the 45 kWh battery pack will have a real-world range of around 350 to 370 km.
To cater to different needs and budgets, Tata will continue to offer the existing battery pack options: a 30 kWh unit with a range of 325 km and a 40.5 kWh unit with a range of 465 km.
Charging Capabilities
The new battery pack in the Nexon EV can be quickly charged using a 60 kW fast charger. This allows you to charge the battery from 10% to 80% in just 40 minutes, making it convenient for long-distance travel.
Feature Enhancements
In addition to the larger battery pack, the 2024 Nexon EV also comes with several new features. The most notable addition is a panoramic sunroof, which provides a more spacious and airy feel to the cabin.
Other key features include a 12.3-inch touchscreen, wireless phone charger, ventilated front seats, and a 10.25-inch digital driver display. The Nexon EV’s safety kit remains comprehensive, with six airbags as standard, a 360-degree camera, electronic parking brake, and front and rear parking sensors.
Nexon EV Red Dark Edition
Tata has also introduced a new Red Dark edition of the Nexon EV. Based on the fully-loaded Empowered Plus variant, the Red Dark edition features a striking black exterior with red accents. The blacked-out roof rails, ORVMs, alloy wheels, and grille give it a sporty and aggressive look.
The interior of the Red Dark edition is also finished in a black and red theme, creating a visually appealing and sporty cabin. The front seat headrests feature the “Dark” insignia, further emphasizing its unique identity.
Price and Rivals
The 2024 Nexon EV is available in multiple variants, with prices starting at Rs 13.99 lakh for the Creative trim. The Red Dark edition is priced at Rs 17.19 lakh.
The Nexon EV competes with other electric SUVs in the Indian market, including the Mahindra XUV400, Tata Curvv EV, and MG Windsor EV. With its updated features and improved range, the Nexon EV remains a strong contender in the electric SUV segment.
