Verdict
The discontinuation of the LR version from the Nexon EV lineup may have been done to simplify variant lineup. The MR & 45 variants offers a decent range and a plethora of features. The Nexon EV competes with the MG Windsor EV, and since the launch of the Windsor EV, the Nexon EV has seen a decline in sales. With the discontinuation of LR version, the Nexon EV variant line has become more streamlined and will help the customers to choose better.
