THE TATA NEXON EV WAS THE BEST-SELLING ELECTRIC VEHICLE IN 2021. Tata Motors sold 9,111 units of this electric vehicle last year. The company recently unveiled the Nexon EV Max, priced from Rs 17.74 lakh. In simple terms, the Nexon EV Max is a long-range version of the Nexon EV. With this model, Tata Motors look to extend their dominance in the EV segment. The Nexon has been the silent hero for Tata Motors with its year-on-year sales growth and especially with the EV model that has now become the largest selling EV in India, this new variant will be a great addition to the line-up. Customers have been waiting for this long-range variant of the Nexon for quite some time.

On the outside, not much has changed and the two vehicles are nearly similar. The Nexon EV Max, on the other hand, comes with a dual-tone colour scheme as standard. Tata also offer it in two new exterior colours, Intensi-Teal and Pristine White, as well as the Daytona Grey colour from the Tigor EV. The alloy wheel design has been slightly modified, but the diameter remains the same at 16 inches. Even though this EV design is almost two years old, this Nexon still looks fresh and futuristic. The sales numbers reflect the success of this design; people have really taken a liking for this form factor of the Nexon EV.

When you glance inside the Nexon EV Max, you'll notice that the dashboard has been given a slight makeover. In contrast to the standard EV's cream upholstery, Tata have given the Nexon EV Max a fresh Makara beige interior. A special "Park" mode and an illuminated gear selector dial with a mode display are also included. A sunroof, a seven-inch touchscreen, auto air-conditioning with rear air vents, and linked car technology are all standard in both variants. An electronic parking brake with an auto-hold feature has replaced the traditional handbrake.
