Tata Nexon EV Overview
Design
Speaking of the design, the electric SUV directly inherits the design theme from its fuel-based version, Tata Nexon. Styled with a flatter bonnet and a sharper styling infused with the halogen projector headlamps, the Nexon EV looks like a perfect battery-powered SUV. The rear part of the EV also gets a unique and eye-striking design with new LED taillights.
Although an electric vehicle, the Indian automaker doesn't seem to have made any compromise in its styling.

Power and Range
The Nexon EV is powered by a 95kW Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor delivering a peak power of 127bhp alongside a peak torque of 245Nm. For driving, two different modes are available: Drive Mode and Sports Mode.
The electric SUV is equipped with a 30.2kWh lithium-ion battery with a claimed range of 312km. This one takes an hour to charge from 0-80% while using Fast Charger but when on normal charging 8-10 hours is required.
Interior
The dashboard's plastic panel is all black-themed here while the cabin space looks more spacious. Most of the cabin remains unchanged which means you still get features like auto AC, rear AC vents, push-button start, and a 6.5-inch touchscreen infotainment system. What’s new is the addition of goodies like auto headlamps, auto wipers & white leatherette upholstery. Excitingly, Tata has also introduced a sunroof feature on the machine.
Additionally, both the steering wheel and instrument cluster are now shared with the Tata Altroz. So, the driver information system is now a 7-inch screen. By the way, all your electric powertrain-related data (range, charge, energy flow animation, and power flow histogram) is displayed here.
