Tata Nexon-EV

Tata Nexon-EV  has 300km range, unveiled

Today we are going to see TATA Nexon EV comes in three variants Electric cars may be wildly popular and much sought after currently, but the reality is that they are still both expensive and impractical. The cost of the battery is still prohibitive, our charging infrastructure in India is non-existent, and, as a result, if you don't have a charger installed in your home, using an EV

 

becomes near impossible Carmakers, as a result, need every advantage they can get So when Tata decided to enter the electric car fray with a car squarely aimed at the Indian car buyer, it decided to go with one of its most attractive products – the Nexon compact SUV

The Nexon has already established itself as a practical, value-for-money offering, and is a steady seller for the brand. And that it scored a 5-star rating in Global NCAP crash tests – with internal combustion the engine under the hood – also emits a positive and reassuring vibe Tata may have launched the Tigor EV earlier, but this is the company's first real EV targeted at car buyers and not taxi operators To make it more appealing, it gets a liquid-cooled battery pack,

Experience the unrivaled performance of 30.2 kWh li-ion battery, rigorously tested over 1Million km, designed to operate under extreme ambient conditions. Power your Tata Motors Nexon electric SUV with the future-proof IP67 certified battery for a delightful journey ahead.

and a 312km range according to ARAI's optimistic driving cycle Engineered on the same platform as the standard Nexon,

Unleash the power of Tata Ziptron at the push of a pedal. Enjoy a pure, unadulterated electric performance powered by the 3 Phase permanent Magnet Synchronous Moter with a peak output of 129PS and torque of 245Nm.

Witness the sheer brilliance ZIPTRON technology through the integrated motor controller. its liquid-cooled architecture offers consistent performance and durability over a wide range of operating temperatures.

the EV uses a permanent magnet motor that puts out a maximum of 129hp and 245Nm of torque This motor draws power from a 30.2kWh 'T'-shaped battery pack that's placed beneath the cabin floor To accommodate the additional weight of the battery, the suspension has been returned, but components like the dampers, springs, and brakes are shared with the standard Nexon. Interestingly,

Tata has managed to achieve a 50:50 weight distribution at each axle, and the overall curb weight is 1,400kg – 150kg heavier than the top-spec diesel Nexon. And because of the battery pack’s placement, the Nexon EV's overall center of gravity is much lower than either of the IC engine cars For those concerned about the battery's durability and longevity, the pack conforms with the IP 67 standard, which means that it is water-resistant up to one meter (up to 30 minutes) It also has an AIS 48 rating – currently the most stringent safety tests in India – which includes nail penetration up to the cell level, crush test, the fire test, and more, In summary, this EV is likely to easily sail through flooded roads, switch off automatically trapped underwater for more than 30min, and even take the regular abuse of our road conditions throughout its life, without any issues. Goodbye is likewise offering an 8-year or 1,60,000km guarantee on the battery pack just as on the electric motor to further boost buyer confidence. The overall dimensions of the Nexon EV haven’t changed compared to the standard car, however, the ground clearance is 4mm lower than the standard Nexon at 205mm, due partly to the position of the battery pack. The Nexon EV, with the facelift, look more butch. It gets a new pair of projector headlamps with LED DRLs that double as turn indicators Like the basic design of the Nexon EV dash, the seats, and space at the front and rear remain unchanged; so the seat is comfortable with a good amount of support, and well-judged cushioning.

Inside the cabin, the Nexon EV gets a7-inch Harman infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

 And boot space at 350 liters practical too. The top-spec XZ+ Luxvariety as of now gets additional features like a sunroof, beige leatherette upholstery,

and auto headlamps and wipers All variants also get 35 new app-based connectivity features for vehicle security, location-based services, remote commands, alerts, and more. The AUX-input and

rear air-con blower controls have been omitted, however, almost everyone will appreciate the 8-speaker Harman sound system, which sounds very good. Initial impressions are very good

. Tap on the accelerator delivers a strong surge of power and what's nice is that torque doesn't come in a big, unregulated rush Initial responses are wonderfully linear, a slight increment in pedal position is metered,

and then progression in rush hour gridlock is smooth and yank free. This means the Nexon EV darts into traffic gaps effortlessly and there's more than enough urge for everyday driving. As soon as the road opens up and you go harder on the throttle, responses, however, flatten out. Battery motor of Tata Nexon EV Performance, however, is strong. We strapped on our testing equipment and the difference in the 0-100kph acceleration timing is evident – it does the sprint in just 9.64sec in ‘S’ The Nexon EV will max out at 120kph, which, when you get on to a wide-open highway could be restrictive.
