Front seats are comfortable, with plenty of adjustment and support on offer.
350-litre boot is large; additionally, the seats fold down flat in a 60:40 ratio.
The only charging provision for rear passengers is at an odd location; it’s near the rear parcel shelf.

The Tata Nexon EV’s ARAI-certified range stands at 312km on a single charge, which is calculated using fixed parameters under urban driving conditions. In our tests, it achieved 208km in a mixed city-highway driving cycle. A higher degree of regeneration while driving in the city resulted in an urban range of 216km, whereas on freer roads with the motor constantly working with less regeneration, the highway range stood at 201km on a full charge.
It must be noted that there is no regeneration between 100-95 percent charge levels, so the fall in range will be the quickest here, and once the charge falls below 15 percent, the motor’s torque diminishes and the air-con stops functioning in an effort to maximise range.
To quickly adapt to an EV-friendly driving style, users would do well to keep an eye on the MID, which features a graphical representation of the driving pattern based on acceleration and deceleration. The objective is to achieve a smooth graph, and what this eventually does is encourage you to drive in a more measured, range-enhancing manner.

I have done my 2nd service of my Nexon EV Lux. I drove 7800 km , 5 months over. I found 3 times there is sudden drop in battery percentage from 60% to 20% 1st time and 2nd time the battery percentage drop from 50% to 22%. This is really horrifying if u go for long drive then you will be in real soups. Sometimes I feel I have done a mistake in purchasing EV from TATA. Also, i have never got the range above 150 km. But they claimed 230 to 300 km which is fell absurd.
