After gathering all the attention with their new concept AVINYA Tata in all set to launch the Nexon EV long range this month. People have been excited about the Nexon EV long range for a long time, the expectations of the market have increased. And to help the increasing excitements further Tata has launched two new teasers touting its new extended range Nexon EV’s unveiling .it seems brand plans to call the extended version Nexon EV max. The new advertising campaign talks of how the car would provide a harmonious blend of efficiency Max, power max, innovation max and electrifying max.
The Design of the car still seems to be similar as the old one as Tata teases it in the teaser. While extended range is being the major feature of the new model. The car would offer a new battery pack a 40KWH unit that might need little bit of floor redesigning and the new battery pack might as well eat into the boot of the car.
The new long range extended Nexon EV max would however be a betterment over the past Nexon as the new battery pack would allow it to go further than 312 km (ARAI) on a single charge while the long-range model is expected to go over 400km on the official test cycle. However in a real life test conducted the current gen Nexon EV max could only manage about 200-220 km’s. Hence it would be vital to note that the range extended version would only do about 300 to 320 km’s in real life.
More powerful Charging options
As per reports the car might also get a power full 6.6Kw Ac charger option. An addition to the existing 3.3KWC, charger which approx takes about 10 hours to charge the battery. The long-range Nexon EV is also expected to get selectable regen modes. This will enable drivers to adjust the intensity of the regenerative braking, which helps in further improving the range. While the existing Nexon EV already gets regen braking, it is mild and non-adjustable.
New features
The new range extended model to also get newer features to justify the increase in prices , the car would get Air purifier , auto dimming rear view mirror, Ventilated seats, Cruise control , Park mode and Electronic stability program these would make sure that the car is not in any way similar to the older model. plus as seen on the teasers the car would come with a rotary dial that would allow the driver to choose different modes . The rotary dial seems to be lifted right off a jaguar coupled with auto hill hold assist as well as different driving modes.
There are other battery full and low buttons a swell but there functions inst clear to us at the moment.The long-range Nexon EV max is expected to be priced about of Rs 3 lakh-4 lakh above and over the current Nexon EV. However, Tata will continue selling the current model alongside the new long-range version, in order to give customers more choice in terms of price and range.
The Competitors
Given its higher price tag, the long-range Nexon EV max will compete better with the other mass-market electric SUVs on sale – the Hyundai Kona Electric and MG ZS EV – than the current Nexon EV . Still, the locally manufactured long-range Nexon EV max will continue to have a price advantage over Hyundai and MG, both of which are brought down via the CKD route .The Nexon EV long range to be launched on May 11th and it seems, Tata Is again going to hog all the headlines as is apparent by the temperament of the advertising spree they are engaging themselves in.
