Nexon EV Max Teased Ahead Of May 11 Launch
Indian carmaker Tata Motors has teased the arrival of the Nexon EV Max, the long-range version of India's best selling electric car. The Nexon EV Max will be launched on May 11.
Indian carmaker Tata Motors has teased the arrival of the Nexon EV Max, the long-range version of India's best selling electric car. The Nexon EV Max will be launched on May 11.
Ahead of its launch next week, Tata Motors has finally revealed the name the long range Nexon EV will bear. The long range electric SUV has been dubbed the Tata Nexon EV Max with X in the Max name featuring a lightning bolt edge for one end.
The teaser videos make quite a few statements about the new Nexon EV Max withouht actually giving out any information. The teaser tells viewers to get ready to be moced to the max in terms of efficiency, experience and innovation.
So what do we kmow about the Nexon EV Max till now. While exact details about the powertrain have not been released by Tata Motors, leaked RTO filings from the national capital have revealed that the new Nexon EV Max will produce 134bhp which is up 5bhp from the current Nexon EV's 129bhp output. The current Nexon EV produces 245Nm of peak torque.
What we do know is that the new Nexon EV Max is expected to feature a 40kWh battery pack which is a significant increase from the current electric SUV's 30.1kWh power source. The current Nexon allows for a claimed range of 312 kilometres on a single charge but the Nexon Max is expected to take this past the 400 kilometre mark.
The new Tata Nexon EV Max isn't expected to change in terms of design though Tata will add the aforementioned lightning touched MAX badges on the EV to make it stand out from its regular sibling. The additional battery capacity is expected to eat up the space inside the electric vehicle, though this is expected to only affect the boot which is where we expect the extra cells to be housed.
The New Nexon Max is expected to share its regular sibling's interior options. The all-black treatement given to 'Dark' models is also expected to be offered on the Nexon EV Max which is expected to spawn a 'Dark' variant of its own when it arrives next week.
The teaser video does highlight a rather interesting feature on the interior. What appears to be the gear selector seems to now have a display on to tell driver's which mode they're in. Another changed that has been teased has something to do with the wheels and tyres. However, we're not sure if this is just new wheels or some lower rolling resistance tyres or maybe even both.
The Nexon EV Max is expected to get a few more features on the inside like a sunrrof, auto dimming IRVMs and an air purifier among others.
Thoughts On The Nexon EV Max
The Nexon EV Max brings with it massive upgrade under the skin in the form of a larger battery pack that is expected to give the electric SUV a range of around 400 kilometres on a single charge. Tata Motors is fully commited to an electric future as it has showcased with concepts like the Curvv and Avinya but it is with the Nexon EV Max that it will pave the way for that green dream. We expect the Nexon EV Max to command a premium of around Rs 2 lakhs over its regular sibling, which we think is something customers will be willing to pay for the extra range.
