Will the new upgrades help the Tata Nexon EV maintain its reign as the king of the hill?

The Tata Nexon EV has been making waves as far as the country’s EV scene is concerned. It is the highest-selling electric car in the country and was an instant hit when it was launched back in 2020. Timely updates, including the option of a more powerful version with a larger motor and longer range has seen the Nexon EV continue to do well.  But this time, Tata Motors has given the Nexon EV a set of updates that are so comprehensive, you would be forgiven for calling this one an all-new model!

In fact, it’s very interesting to see how Tata Motors is now distinguishing the Nexon EV from its internal combustion engine-powered siblings. Apart from the green number plate there was little to tell the EV apart from the ICE version, until now! And that’s what makes the Nexon very interesting as a model, because it is remarkable how Tata Motors is balancing the development of both versions!

Heck, the updated Nexon EV has broken cover just a week after the petrol and diesel versions and clearly, both models were being updated in parallel, with serious efforts to set them apart! We spent a fine, but rain soaked morning driving the Nexon EV in our very own Pune, and there’s a lot to talk about.
