Tata Nexon EV electric SUV with range features Chennai

The Tata Nexon EV has long been India’s bestselling electric SUV. Now updated with smarter design, longer range, and enhanced features, it presents a compelling case for EV buyers in Chennai. Here’s why it deserves serious consideration at Lakshmi Tata.

Sleek & Modern Design Appeal

The 2025 Nexon EV receives a subtle yet stylish makeover. The new front fascia features a closed EV grille and slim LED daytime running lights that span the width giving it a clean, aerodynamic look. These updates, combined with refreshed alloy wheels and connected LED tail lamps, elevate its road presence.

Two Battery Options with Real-World Range

Tata offers the Nexon EV in two variants:

  • Medium Range (30.2 kWh): Offers real-world city range between 230–270 km perfect for daily commutes.
  • Long Range (45 kWh): ARAI-certified at 489 km, and offers a real-world range of around 350–375 km, based on mixed driving conditions.

Some third-party tests show red flags: real-world range may vary around 273 km for older variants, while modern versions average 350 km.

Uprated Performance & Smooth Drive

The long-range model delivers 145 hp and 215 Nm of torque quick enough for 0–100 km/h in around 8.9 seconds. It remains smooth, silent, and well-suited for both urban traffic and expressway cruising.

Charging: Home & Fast Ready

You have two practical charging choices:

  • 7.2 kW AC home charging: Full charge in 4.3 to 6 hours for the 45 kWh variant.
  • 60 kW DC fast charging: Reaches 10–80% in about 40 minutes.
    These options offer flexibility overnight at home or topping up during road-trips.

  • 10.25-inch digital driver display
