It’s now available in a new signature Intensi-Teal colour along with the existing Daytone Grey and Pristine White. All the three The cabin gets a different shade of beige, but otherwise, its layout remains unchanged. 

Competition Check

The Tata Nexon EV Max doesn’t get any direct rivals, until Mahindra brings in the electric XUV300. You do have the costlier alternatives – MG ZS EV and Hyundai Kona Electric. While the Kona gets a slightly smaller battery pack (39.2kWh), the ZS EV packs in a bigger one (50.3kWh). However, both offer better driving ranges; Kona with 452 kilometres and ZS EV with 461 kilometres.
