Powertrain, Range, And Battery
The Nexon EV is now offered in two main variants: Medium Range (MR) and Long Range (LR), replacing the previous Prime and Max options. The MR variant comes with a 30 kWh battery pack, offering a range of 325 kilometers and a peak power output of 127 bhp. In contrast, the LR variant features a larger 40.2 kWh battery pack, providing an impressive 465-kilometer range and a power output of 143 bhp. Both variants maintain the same torque level of 215 Nm.
Using the AC wall box charger and the portable charger, the EV can achieve a full charge from 10% to 100% in 10.5 hours for one variant and 15 hours for the other. With the 7.2 kW charger, it takes approximately 4.3 hours and 6 hours, respectively, to reach a full charge. Rapid charging is facilitated by a DC fast charger, which can charge the vehicle from 10% to 100% in just 56 minutes, regardless of the variant. Additionally, the vehicle is equipped with Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) technology, enabling it to provide power of up to 3.3 kW to external devices or appliances.
Verdict
The updated Tata Nexon EV now offers extended range and enhanced features, making it a more attractive option for potential buyers. The increased range helps alleviate concerns about range anxiety, although the actual driving range can vary based on individual driving habits. Despite these improvements, the Nexon EV is poised to face competition from the Mahindra XUV400 and is expected to come with a higher price tag compared to the pre-facelift version.
