UPDATE- Tata Nexon EV has become the most selling electric SUV of India. Tata Motors sold 198 units of the Nexon EV SUV in March 2020 despite the lockdown and COVID-19.
When Hyundai launched the Kona EV, it was a step in the right direction. However, priced at over Rs 25 lakh on-road, it was far from the reach of a prospective e-SUV customer. Also, it was a concern at that time because of the lack of charging infrastructure and other obvious reasons. Then MG Motor followed Hyundai and launched the more affordable ZS EV and it undercut the Kona EV despite giving more performance and equivalent range. It was also well received by the market. Then Tata Nexon EV SUV came into the picture and the one we have been most impressed with!

Value
We have only three electric SUVs in India right now. Tata Nexon EV SUV is the most affordable among the three and it offers a lot of value. MG ZS EV is the most powerful with the biggest battery but it also costs around 24 lakhs ex-showroom for its top variant. Tata Nexon EV with a certified range of 312 km and battery warranty of 8 years/ 160000 km. When you get to know that Nexon EV comes at a price of Rs 14 lakhs and the top variant is priced at Rs 15.99 lakhs, it screams value.
The Way It Looks
Tata Nexon EV looks stunning and gathers eyeballs thanks to the flat grille and various blue accents. With a ground clearance of 205mm, it stands tall and takes a good space on the road. As it is based on the Tata Nexon facelift, it looks fresh. The interiors look nice too with a central touchscreen, semi-digital instrument cluster and flat-bottom steering wheel adds to the sporty feel.
