Tata Nexon EV lineup updated: Check out the variants that have been discontinued

The Tata Nexon EV has been one of the country’s most popular electric vehicles, largely due to its early entry into the segment as one of the first electric passenger vehicles on the market. Since its 2020 launch, Tata Motors has consistently updated the Nexon EV to keep pace with market demand. While the 2023 facelift introduced significant improvements, growing competition from other brands has prompted Tata Motors to further revise the Nexon EV package.

Last year with the facelift, the Tata Nexon EV got two battery pack options - medium range (MR) with 30.02 kWh battery pack while the more expensive long range (LR) versions with a 40.5 kWh battery pack. However, as the competition from other brands have increased, the Tata Nexon EV saw the addition of a 45 kWh battery pack. Now though, it is reported that the Tata Nexon EV MR and LR variants have been discontinued.

Many of the Tata Motors dealerships including the EV only dealerships are reporting that the Tata Nexon EV MR variants and the LR variants have been discontinued in view of the changing market preference. While some of the dealers have a few units remaining , most of them have run out of stock for the MR and LR variants.

Interestingly, while the dealerships are reporting that the MR and the LR variants have been discontinued, the Tata Motors official website still shows that all the variants of the Nexon EV including the MR and the LR variants are still being sold. While we reached out to Tata Motors for their comments on this, the company stated that the Nexon EV MR and the LR variants are still on sale and they have not been discontinued at the moment.
