Besides introducing a larger battery pack, Tata has expanded the Nexon EV’s range by adding in the Red Dark edition

In addition to announcing the launch of the Nexon CNG, the country’s first turbocharged CNG car, Tata Motors has introduced the Nexon EV with the larger 45 kWh battery pack. With an attractive starting price of Rs. 13.99 lakh for the base Creative 45, it costs Rs. 14.99 lakh and Rs. 15.99 lakh for the Fearless 45 and Empowered 45 trims while the top-end Empowered 45+ is priced at Rs. 16.99 lakh (all prices, ex-showroom pan India).

The newly introduced Tata Nexon Red Dark Edition is Rs. 20,000 costlier than the Empowered 45+ at Rs. 17.19 lakh (ex-showroom). The arrival of the new battery pack expands the Nexon EV’s portfolio into three battery choices and it comes with an ARAI-certified claimed driving range of 489 km on a single charge with the C75 range being 350 km to 370 km.

Since the Creative 45 is positioned lower than the Fearless variant with 40.5 kWh battery, it is Rs. 1.60 lakh cheaper. According to Tata, the larger battery unit is 15 per cent more energy dense while occupying the same space as the 40.5 kWh battery. Moreover, the charging time has also been reduced from 56 minutes to 40 minutes, between 10-80 per cent.
