Tata will be introducing the long-range variant of the Nexon EV on May 11. Ahead of its price announcement, some dealerships have started taking unofficial bookings for the electric SUV.

The biggest change, when compared with the current Nexon EV, is likely to be the bigger battery pack (40kWh expected) along with a more powerful 136PS electric motor. This will help the EV attain a higher ARAI-claimed range than the standard model which comes with a 129PS/245Nm electric motor, a 30.2kWh battery pack and a claimed range of 312km.

Long-range Tata Nexon EV Inches Closer To Launch

While the long-range version is expected to feature a new alloy wheel design and rear disc brakes, we don’t expect any other significant cosmetic changes to be made to the soon-to-be launched Tata EV.

The Tata Nexon EV’s Waiting Periods Will Not Reduce Anytime Soon. Here’s Why

Inside, Tata may offer it with a revised upholstery while carrying on with the existing black and beige cabin theme. The long-range Nexon EV could further gain features such as ventilated front seats, auto-dimming IRVM, and an air purifier from the standard Nexon’s Kaziranga Edition.

The Indian carmaker could also add cruise control and electronic stability control to the EV’s list of equipment. It will also come with a 7-inch touchscreen, connected car tech, and a sunroof.

We expect the new model to command a premium over the existing EV that costs between Rs 14.54 lakh and Rs 17.15 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). It will be a comparatively affordable alternative to the Hyundai Kona Electric and MG ZS EV, but with a more comparable range.
