Tata Motors launched the Nexon EV Max in India, with prices starting at Rs 17.74 lakh for the XZ+ variant and going up to Rs 19.24 lakh for the top-spec Nexon EV Max XZ+ Lux. The Nexon EV Max offers an ARAI-certified range of 437km, thanks to its massive 40.5kWh battery pack. Apart from the longer range, the Nexon EV Max gets additional features over the standard Nexon EV.
The larger battery pack is about 10kWh more than the standard model. This enables the Nexon EV Max to have an ARAI claimed range of 437 km, which is 125 km more than the Nexon EV. As far as the output is concerned, the Nexon EV Max gets a 143hp motor that delivers 250Nm of torque, which is 14hp and 5Nm more than the Nexon EV. The carmaker is promising a 0-100kph time of under 9 seconds for the electric SUV.
Tata Motors is also offering two charging options – a 3.3kW AC charger that comes standard with the SUV and a more powerful 7.2kW AC charger. The Nexon EV Max takes around 15 to 16 hours to fully charge with the 3.3kW AC charger, while the 7.2kW AC version takes around five to six hours. Tata Motors claims a charging time of 56 minutes from 0-80 percent via a conventional 50kW DC fast charger.
The Nexon EV Max is available in two variants – XZ+ and XZ+ Lux. The Nexon EV Max gets safety features like illuminated gear knob with park mode, electronic parking brake, air purifier, cooled seats and ESP and hill-hold assist. It also gets a unique beige interior theme which will not be available on the standard model. Talking about the exterior, dual-tone color is standard and it is offered with an exclusive intensity-teal paint shade option.
