Dealerships starts accepting unofficial bookings of long-range Tata Nexon EV

With the launch of the long-range Nexon EV approaching, some dealerships have started accepting unofficial bookings of the new electric SUV. We do not know the exact booking amount that the dealerships are taking for the booking. Tata Motors will launch the long-range Nexon EV officially on 11th May. The price of the long-range Nexon EV is expected to be around Rs. 17 to Rs. 18 lakhs ex-showroom.

Tata Motors is currently leading electric vehicle space in India. They already have the Tigor EV and Nexon EV in their portfolio. With the long-range Nexon EV, they want to attract people who want more driving range so that they can do longer journeys on their compact SUV. We do know that the manufacturer has made some mechanical changes but we do not know what cosmetic changes would be there.

Having said that, we are expecting the long-range Nexon EV to come with a different set of alloy wheels and some kind of badging to denote that it is a long-range variant. Tata Motors will also add features to the new variant. It will come with ventilated front seats, cruise control, Park mode, an air purifier and Electronic Stability Program. Moreover, Tata Motors would also allow the driver to adjust the amount of regeneration that he gets from the brakes which should help him increase the driving range.

Speaking of driving range, the long-range Nexon EV is expected to have an ARAI rated driving range of 400 km. This is possible because of the larger battery which has a capacity of 40 kWh. When compared the current Nexon EV has a battery capacity of 30.2 kWh and has an ARAI rated driving range of 312 km.

In real-world conditions, the current Nexon EV can deliver up to 200 to 250 km of driving range depending on how the driver drives the vehicle. The long-range Nexon EV is expected to deliver a real-world range of around 300 km.

Tata Motors supplies a 3.3 kW AC charger with the current Nexon EV. The long-range Nexon EV is expected to come with a 6.6 kW AC charger. It is not clear how much charging time will the new charger will be able to reduce considering the battery size has also gone up.

The additional set of batteries is expected to be stored in the boot space. This means that the boot space will suffer and go down. The current Nexon EV and regular Nexon come with a 350-litres of boot space. The additional batteries will also increase the weight of the long-range Nexon EV. To handle the additional weight, Tata Motors has added rear disc brakes to the long-range Nexon EV.

We do not know whether there will be any change in the power output or not. The current Nexon EV produces 136 PS of max power and 245 Nm of peak torque. The battery pack comes with an  8-year or 1.6 lakh km standard warranty. The long-range model will be sold alongside the current model.
