Tata Motors launches Nexon EV facelift at ₹14.74 lakh, gets a host of updates
Tata Motors launched the new Nexon EV facelift on Thursday at a starting price of ₹14.74 lakh (ex-showroom), while the pricing goes up to ₹19.94 lakh (ex-showroom). The pricing is introductory and will remain for a limited period. Christened as the Tata Nexon.ev, the pure electric iteration of the popular compact SUV comes with a host of updates, including a revised design, new features and an upgraded powertrain. In a nutshell, India’s bestselling electric SUV has received a comprehensive update that is complete with a new design, a revamped interior and a new electric motor. The automaker has already sold more than 53,000 units of the Nexon EV and the facelifted version is aimed at enhancing that significantly.
The 2023 Tata Nexon EV facelift comes alongside its internal combustion engine-powered sibling, which has been launched at a starting price of ₹8.10 lakh (ex-showroom). Much like the ICE-powered Nexon facelift, the EV too draws its design inspiration from the Tata Curvv concept. The EV comes with significant distinctiveness compared to the fossil fuel-powered model though. It gets a different air dam and full-width LED light bar, making the EV distinctive from the ICE model. It sports seven different exterior colour portions: Empowered Oxide, Pristine White, Intensi Teal, Flame Red, Daytona Grey, Fearless Purple, and Creative Ocean.

2023 Tata Nexon EV facelift: Design
The electric SUV comes with a completely new split LED headlamp setup complemented by LED daytime running lights. The entire front fascia has been updated. It runs on 16-inch alloy wheels. Compared to the pre-facelift version, the revamped iteration of Nexon EV loses the blue accent on the window line. At the back, it gets an LED light bar that spans the width of the revised tailgate and merges into the new delta-shaped LED tail lamps on both sides, while a more angular bumper and a new integrated roof spoiler give it a Range Rover-like vibe.

The new Tata Nexon EV facelift comes with significant changes on the powertrain front.

It can reach 0-100 kmph in 8.9 seconds. There are three different driving modes: City, Eco and Sport.
The EV claims to have become more aerodynamic, resulting in improved performance. The Nexon EV Long Range facelift retains the same 40.5 kWh battery pack as the Nexon EV Max, but the claimed range has gone up from 437 km to 465 km. Tata is providing an eight-year or 160,000 km warranty on the battery and motor of the new Nexon EV. Another interesting feature of the Nexon EV facelift is that it comes with V2L and V2V technologies, allowing the car to power electrical appliances and even charge other electric vehicles.
