Tata Nexon EV with ADAS details
New Tata Nexon EV 45 Empowered + A variant to get the Level 2 ADAS suite
As mentioned above, Tata Motors will soon launch a new range-topping variant of the Nexon EV. In line with the addition of Level 2 ADAS and Tata’s nomenclature, this top-spec ‘Empowered +’ variant will get the ‘A’ suffix. The ADAS safety suite will only be offered with the larger 45kWh battery pack, which has an MIDC range of 489km and a real-world range of 350km. It should be noted that the Nexon EV is also available with a 30kWh battery option, which is rated at 275km by ARAI. Additionally, sources suggest that the Nexon EV 45 Empowered+ A will also be available in the Red Dark finish.
Level 2 ADAS suite brings adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, and more
To the already well-equipped Nexon EV Empowered +, the new variant will add safety features such as adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning and lane-keep assist, forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking, auto high beam assist, traffic sign recognition, rear cross-traffic and collision warning, and a driver drowsiness detector.
Tata Nexon EV with ADAS price estimate
Will cost about Rs 75,000 more than the current top-spec Nexon EV 45 Empowered +
The Nexon EV 45 Empowered + A will cost a premium over the current range-topping variant. The current top-spec variant, the 45 Empowered +, is priced at Rs 16.99 lakh (its Red Dark version costs Rs 17.19 lakh). The new ADAS-equipped variant is likely to be priced about Rs 75,000 more. Hence, the Nexon EV 45 Empowered + A prices are expected in the Rs 17.75 lakh-17.99 lakh region.
This helps the new Nexon EV variant undercut its main rival, the MG Windsor Essence Pro, which is the top-spec 52.9kWh version with an ADAS suite and costs Rs 18.39 lakh.
