Tata Motors has raised the prices of its Nexon EV by Rs 25,000 across the board, bringing the cost to between Rs 14.54 lakh to Rs 17.15 lakh (ex-showroom). Currently, the Nexon is the best-selling EV in India.

The Nexon EV's success is due in part to its price range, though it has a shorter range than competitors like MG ZS EV and Hyundai Kona Electric. With 127 horsepower and 245 Nm, it is claimed to have a range of 312 km on a 30.2 kWh lithium-ion battery pack.

The Tata Nexon EV is available in three variants: XM, XZ+, and XZ+ Lux, with the latter two also available in a Dark Edition with an all-black theme and Midnight Black exterior paint. A tyre pressure monitor and a tyre puncture repair kit are also provided, along with the blacked-out alloy wheels.

Tata Motors is working on an extended range version of the Nexon EV, which will have a larger 40 kWh battery pack and will be Rs 3 lakh to Rs 4 lakh more expensive. It is scheduled to be available in a few months.

With a 30 percent larger battery pack, the updated Nexon EV should have a range of over 400 kilometres in the local test cycle, with a real-world range of 300-320 kilometres helping it to close the range deficit to its competition.
