Overview

The Nexon EV is the car that made electric SUVs a realistic purchase for Indian families rather than an early-adopter statement. The single-speed motor delivers torque from zero, which makes it feel quicker than its outright power suggests in city traffic.

The 46.08 kWh battery gives a claimed 489 km, and a conservative 300-350 km is a fair real-world expectation with the air conditioning running. On the highway the motor runs out of leverage above 100 km/h, and range falls accordingly.

Tata’s charging network access and service footprint are the practical reasons to buy it over a cheaper petrol SUV; without a home charging point, much of the running-cost advantage disappears.

Our verdict

The Nexon EV is the first electric car in India that can be recommended to a normal family rather than to an enthusiast, provided that family can charge at home. Buy the Accomplished, install the wall box, and the running-cost advantage pays for the price premium in under four years.
