Even before the current high level of interest
in electric vehicles began, Tata Motors have
been making concerted efforts in the electric mobility space. Their Tigor EV is
a popular choice for fleet consumers. However, the recently launched Nexon EV
has demonstrated their efforts to create an all-encompassingpremium,
technology-ladenSUV that is willing to break away from the prevalent
apprehension common to automobile buyers.

The Sweetest Package:
Not
only is the Tata Nexon EV the
country's first indigenously developed electric SUV, it also has the markings
of a truly premium car. The powered sunroof, accompanied by the plush and
premium leatherette seats, make it a superior choice in the Electric vehicle
segment. The Auto head lamps with ambient &tunnel detection and “Follow me
Home” feature adds to the feeling of safety that does not compromise on style
and comfort. The car also benefits from a variety of tech driven features that
include the incredibly powerful electric motor, a Lithium ion battery that
assures long range, state-of-the art connected car features,7” Harman
infotainmentsystem for superior audio performanceand a 7” digital Instrument
cluster that keeps you alwaysinformed. Priced between Rs 13.99 lakh to Rs 16.25
lakh (ex-showroom all India), making it your ideal first electric car choice
right now. While the XM variant of the
Nexon EV starts at Rs 13.99 lakh (ex-showroom), the top-spec XZ+ LUX variant
goes up to Rs 16.25 lakh (ex-showroom all India). This amazing all-embracing
package will attract customers of ICE powered vehicles in the Rs. 14 to 20 lakh
bracket and scale up adoption in a relatively new segment.

360 – degree Approach:
In
order to accelerate the adoption of EVs in India, Tata Motors is working closely
with other Tata Group companies including Tata Power, Tata Chemicals, Tata
Autocomp, Tata Motors Finance and Croma, to create an e-mobility ecosystem,
Tata uniEVerse. Powered by Tata uniEVerse, consumers will have access to a
suite of e-mobility offerings including charging solutions, innovative retail
experiences and easy financing options. Tata Motors has partnered with Tata Power to
provide end-to-end charging solutions at home and workplace as well as public
charging. Taking forward its “make in India”mission, Tata Motors is
collaborating with Tata
Chemicals, to manufacture lithium-ion
battery cells, in addition to exploring active chemicals manufacturing and
battery recycling. The auto major is also working with Tata Autocomp for the localisation of battery pack assembly and
motor assembly. The last piece of the solution involves the introduction of
affordable financing solutions for the Nexon EVthat will be provided by Tata
Motors Finance. Thus, Tata Motors in conjunction with other Tata Group
companies is the only EV manufacturer to offer a complete end-to-end EV
eco-system to the Indian customer.

Combining Smart Drivability with Futuristic Design:
The car is a
treat to drive and has two driving modes on offer namely Sport and Drive. The
Sports mode allows for an intense power delivery and the Nexon EV can do 0-100
kmph in just 9.9 seconds. Complementing this intense performance is the design.
The Nexon EV sports a bold and confident design that brings into play the
IMPACT DESIGN 2.0 language.What sets the Nexon EV apart are the signature blue
chrome highlights on the bumpers, the rising beltline and the EV badges. The
exteriors boast of a bumper with its sporty central grille, detailed with the
Tata Motors signature Tri-Arrows. On the inside too, the car comes with modern
design, spacious interiors, and premium sound management to deliver a
comfortable tranquil drive.
