The Tata Nexon EV now gets the ‘Prime’ suffix. No it’s not a new variant or edition, but just a name change. It comes with a price increase of up to Rs 20,000, which makes it retail from Rs 14.99 lakh to Rs 17.50 lakh (ex-showroom). However, the existing owners are in for a benefit, as they won’t be charge for the updates.

The Nexon EV Prime borrows certain features from the range topping Nexon EV Max. The list includes cruise control, multi-level braking regeneration modes (four levels), automatic brake lamp activation on regenerative braking, i-TPMS (tyre pressure monitoring system), and smartwatch integrated connectivity features, all as standard.

For existing owners, these feature upgrades will be done through a software update, for free of cost, starting from July 25. If you’re an existing Nexon EV owner, you can go to the nearest Tata dealership, book an appointment, and get these features just through the update. Subsequent software updates will be chargeable.
