Tata Motors India’s Nexon was quite successful, as it offered good space, dynamics and ride quality. However, the surprise was the Nexon EV. When Tata launched the Nexon EV, people had their doubts, but they quickly went away. Given the rising petrol and diesel prices, EV adoption started picking up, and Tata was ready. The Nexon EV quickly became a popular choice for buyers after experiencing it. It also helped that it was the most affordable option at the time. But even after the successful run, some people were still shying away from the Nexon EV because of the limited range.
Hence, to address this and also to take on more expensive rivals, Tata has launched the new Nexon EV Max. Most importantly, the Nexon EV Max offers a bigger battery pack and a longer range. Other revisions also include some interior tweaks and additional safety features.
