The Tata Nexon.ev continues to hold its crown as India’s highest-selling electric SUV. With the introduction of an upgraded 45 kWh battery pack, panoramic sunroof, and Level-2 ADAS suite on top trims, Tata has positioned the Nexon.ev to take on rivals like the MG ZS EV, MG Windsor EV, and Mahindra XUV400.
Starting at ₹12.49 lakh (ex-showroom), here is a complete deep-dive into its specs, battery options, charging capabilities, and features.

- Aero Alloy Wheels: 16-inch alloy wheels with aerodynamically designed wheel inserts to extend driving range.
