Tata Nexon EV now priced from Rs 14.49 lakh

Tata Motors just announced a price cut on two of its most popular EVs – the Nexon EV and the Tiago EV. Prices for the Nexon EV now start from Rs 14.49 lakh for the Creative+ MR variant, and go up to Rs 19.29 lakh for the Empowered+ LR variant. Let’s take a closer look at how the prices have been affected across the board.

Tata Nexon EV prices reduced

As can be seen from the table above, prices of the Medium Range (MR) variants of the Nexon EV have gone down in the range of Rs 20,000-35,000, depending on the variant. Meanwhile, the Long Range (LR) variants see a more significant drop in price of up to Rs 1.20 lakh, although the top-spec trim only sees a reduction of Rs 20,000.

For reference, the Nexon EV’s direct rival, the Mahindra XUV400 EV is priced between Rs 15.49 lakh-16.74 lakh for its Short Range variant, while the Long Range variant is priced at 17.49 lakh. The XUV400 EV recently received a major interior update, and with top-end prices undercutting the Nexon EV by a fair margin, it does come across as good value.

As for outputs, the MR produces 129hp and 215Nm of torque, while the LR produces 145hp and 215Nm.

In comparison, the Mahindra XUV400 gets a 34.5kWh battery or a larger 39.4kWh battery for the EC Pro and EL Pro variants, respectively. The former battery has a claimed range of 375km and the latter has a claimed range of 456km, both on the MIDC cycle. Both variants of the XUV400 Pro are powered by a front axle-mounted electric motor that produces 150hp and 310Nm of torque.
