Tata Nexon Electric Compact SUV : Reveal Event Observations

19/12/2019

By Raphae Halim and Amit Gupta
The Tata Nexon Electric Compact SUV was unveiled today in Mumbai. The Nexon is the first product based on the ZipTron platform which uses a high voltage system. Tata Motors have been creating marketing content for the Nexon EV, taking it to Ladakh and showcasing the performance of the vehicle. We had an opportunity to visit the unveil event and here are our takeaways.

Takeaways
  • Range of 300 km was announced. But we still feel that would be the ARAI certified range, real world in city would be around 240-250 km
  • Ground Clearance Stands out 205 mm. 
  • Tri Arrow Design feature - a new design aesthetic was showcased on the Nexon
    • Tri Arrow design which looks like a star - You can see the design element in Front Grill, Seats fabric
    • Many people said, the design resembled the Range Rover :) - Don't quote us on it!
  • Torque of 250 NM at 0 RPM is lesser than the torque offered by Hyundai Kona and MG ZS EV, but still fantastic. The Tata Nexon EV wont lack in performance.
  • Tata Nexon EV uses the CCS2 connector for DC fast charging. Fast charging charges the battery upto 80% in 60 minutes. We assume the charge rate should be around 25 kW.
  • 8 years or 1,60,000 km battery warranty is fantastic! If Hyundai would have not offered 8 year warranty on the Kona's battery, would Tata have offered 8 years?
  • The EV comes with a dust and water proof battery pack which meets IP67 standards.
  • This high-density battery pack is liquid-cooled for Indian conditions. Making it one of few electric cars in India to offer liquid cooling.
  • The vehicle comes with two drive mode options – DRIVE & SPORT. This is similar terminologies used in the Tigor EV.
  • We were very impressed with the mobile app. Apart from the app knowing the difference between the car & the phone’s location, it has live diagnostics. And even detailed battery 🔋 health stats.
    ​Also charge points around India even those not belonging to Tata are shown. A truly open approach to building trust in the technology as a whole & developing the EV ecosystem not just their own product.
    • Tata Nexon website and their app actually show community charge points listed in the RechargeIndia app :)
  • They did not reveal the pricing for some reason.
  • The car will be available for test-drive closer to the date of launch. Delivery will be post launch. Launch date is yet to be announced. It is expected in the coming weeks.

Many people in the community have told us that the Nexon EV ticks all the boxes - safety, range, looks, colors, sturdiness, connectivity, guaranty/warranty, and most important of all - Made in India.

​What do you think?

Icing the cake would have been to give another variant with extended range at additional price..

Range Should have been upto 400 then the price 15L would have been a good start

Will you drive for 400 km everyday? I agree with the other comment that another variant with a larger battery would help others who drive a lot.

Nothing is easy to achive, hence to preserve the nature's good air (Prana), one must take efforts of recharging for 1-1/2 hrs after 250 km drive.
Help others live a healthy life.

A variant with a better range (say 450 kms) should have been given at a higher price, not worth Rs 15-17 lakhs for city driving, will not suit drive enthusiasts like me who can drive 700-800 kms a day. Tata may lose the market on flagship car that got the best ncap rating which they should have leveraged.

The range of 312 km is good for a daily ride and an occasional cross country once the recharging infrastructure is in place. How Tata Motors takes on the challenge is to be seen.
