Tata Nexon EV Max

Most of you already know that the Nexon EV is India's best-selling electric vehicle, outselling the next competitor by a huge margin.

The well-rounded package coupled with the low running costs and a relatively affordable purchase price has helped a lot of families get on the EV bandwagon earlier than they previously thought. And to many, it has sort of become their primary car and besides being driven around in the city, most are seeing occasional highway use as well. Now there is an even better version of it called the EV Max which promises better range and more features, but is it any good? Let's find out.

The Nexon EV Max has only minor changes on the outside. The Intensi-blue paint is different as is the contrasting roof in grey colour. The other big difference is the new 16inch alloy wheel, which keen-eyed amongst you would notice now has five lug nuts when all other Nexon variants have four. There are also disc brakes at the rear.

The biggest change is the battery which is now 40.5kWh instead of the 30.2kWh the standard car has. This thicker battery pack had resulted in the floor pan being 10mm higher inside the car while it has reduced the ground clearance by 15mm. That and all the new equipment means, it is also 100 kilograms heavier than before.
