Tata Motors has unveiled what it calls as India’s Own Electric SUV – the Nexon EV. Scheduled to be launched in January 2020, the Nexon EV is expected to be priced between INR 15 to 17 Lakh.
The Tata Nexon Electric is powered by the cutting-edge Ziptron technology. This compact SUV is claimed to be highly efficient with high voltage system, zippy performance, long-range, fast charging capability, extended battery life and class-leading safety features.
The company says it is an aspirational SUV for personal car buyers looking for a thrilling, connected drive experience with zero emissions.
The Nexon EV will be available in three variants – XZ+ LUX, XZ+ (both in 2 tone) and XM (in single tone). The SUV will come in three exciting colour options – Signature Teal Blue colour, Moonlit Silver and Glacier White.
The new Tata Nexon EV is equipped with a powerful and high-efficiency 129 PS permanent-magnet AC motor powered by a high capacity 30.2 kWh lithium-ion battery. The motor produces 245 Nm of instant torque from a standstill, enabling Nexon EV to accelerate from 0 to 100 kmph in just 9.9 seconds.
The electric vehicle comes with a best-in-industry dust and waterproof battery pack which meets IP67 standards. This high-density battery pack is liquid-cooled to excel in Indian conditions. The battery pack is placed underneath the vehicle body, giving the SUV a centre of gravity more akin to that of a sedan or a hatchback, ensuring maximum stability and excellent dynamic performance on winding roads.
The vehicle comes with two drive mode options – Drive & Sport. It utilizes smart drive tech features – Regenerative Braking to charge the battery while coasting, Hill Ascent & Descent Assist to make driving on slopes more convenient and Smart Regen with Creep feature allows the user to tackle congested city traffic without fatigue.
The Tata Nexon EV delivers an anxiety-free long range of more than 300 km on a single charge with zero emissions. When plugged into a Fast DC Charger, the Nexon EV will replenish 80% battery capacity within 60 minutes.
Also, the Nexon EV can be charged from any 15 amp plug point. Tata Motors will be providing a warranty of 8 years or 1,60,000 km (whichever is earlier) on battery and the motor.
Nexon EV offers 35 Mobile App based connected features, ranging from remote commands, vehicle tracking, driving behaviour analytics, navigation and remote diagnostics. The ZConnect App enables owners to locate the nearby charging points, TML service stations, set-up speed alerts, track vehicle location and many more features.
