EV stable: Tata Motors shifts gears with Nexon pricing, range

Mumbai: On reaching three years of the Nexon EV launch in India, Tata Motors has announced the repositioning of the Nexon EV portfolio, with changes in pricing and enhanced range.
Tata Motors in a statement said the range of the Nexon EV MAX variants had been enhanced to 453 km, from January 25, 2023, onwards. This range enhancement will be offered to current Nexon EV MAX owners through a software upgrade, at dealerships, from February 15, 2023. The company on Tuesday had launched Nexon EV MAX XM trim in the portfolio. At a price of Rs 16.49 lakh, this variant is equipped with electronic parking brake, Automatic Climate control, Electronic Stability Program (ESP) with i-VBAC, projector headlamps with LED DRLs and LED tail lamps, push-button start, Digital TFT Instrument Cluster and ZConnect connected car tech with smartwatch connectivity and rear disc brakes.
ESP supports the driver in nearly all critical driving situations. It comprises the functions of the antilock braking system (ABS) and the traction control system, but can do considerably more. It detects vehicle skidding movements, and actively counteracts them. Instrument clusters are the interface with which the system interacts with the driver of a vehicle. ZConnect app is the carmaker's app-based tech which helps the user to control the functions of the car.
Tata Motors said the top-end trim -- Nexon EV MAX XZ+ Lux -- has been repriced at Rs 18.49 lakh. It comes with leatherette seats with ventilation, wireless smartphone charger, auto-dimming IRVM, cabin air purifier, electric sunroof, 17.78 cm floating infotainment system by HARMAN with eight speakers, 16-inch alloy wheels, Hill Descent Control and sharkfin antenna, among others.
