1.Tata Nexon EV

The Nexon EV from Tata Motors has been the pioneer for the Indian market in terms of electric cars and now there is a new one with a sharper look. The other highlights include a new electric motor which is lighter along with the capability to charge other devices and EVs too. We will start with the looks though as the new Nexon EV has sleeker styling thanks to a full width connected LED lighting along with a chiselled bumper design.

There are new alloy wheels with aero inserts to increase the range as well. The talking point though is the interior which debuts a much larger 12.3-inch touchscreen and a digital instrument cluster along with loads of new features. Further tech points are earned for the new steering wheel with the digital logo too. Tata Motors have also reduced the button clutter now with a touch panel instead of physical buttons on the centre console.

The Long-Range version scores highly if you want more range and performance with a 465km figure and that is a big change from the previous Nexon EV. A 7.2kW AC charger also comes as standard too. To drive, the new Nexon EV is brisk and entertaining in terms of a fuss free drive. Performance is better and the real-world range is also quite impressive for its segment. The dynamics abilities have been spruced up and it is a much better car to drive. The Nexon EV now comes across as a more desirable alternative to the usual petrol/diesel SUVs due to its looks and performance while now the enhanced range is more convincing too. The Nexon EV remains the default choice in this segment but now the flaws have been removed. It is now a much more premium package with better range.
